Our beer is handcrafted from start to finish at one of the world’s few gravity-fed breweries. The beer flows gently from vessel to vessel using a hoist system – entirely without pumps. Every step is carried out with care and patience: the wort is boiled over an open wood fire, and each bottle is filled by hand.

The beer is flavorful, balanced, full-bodied, and crafted to elevate the dining experience – inspired by traditional Danish brewing heritage.

Since 2004, we have built our brewery with a strong focus on sustainability – using reclaimed materials, maintaining a low CO₂ footprint, and embracing a circular mindset where our organic spent grain feeds 10–12 grazing cows on our hillside pastures.

Bøgedal is more than beer – it’s a choice for quality, true craftsmanship, and a deep respect for nature.

All Gravity               

Bøgedal is Scandinavia’s only all-gravity brewery and is boiled over an open fire using local wood as fuel. Bøgedal’s brewing method is an attraction in itself, since the brew flows freely (all gravity), from vat to vessel, without pumping, creating different levels by use of hand-powered hoists and pulleys.

Real craftbeer completly made by hand                  

Bøgedal is the only commercial brewery in the world that maintains the Old Danish tradition of brewing Godtoel or “the good beer” which predates the industrial age. This traditional beer is strong and very rich with many of the natural sugars still intact.

By restricting the reliance on technology and without temperature control Bøgedal tends to allow the beer to live its own life and develop naturally. The brews are never identical, even when the same recipe is followed. As each brew is unique, they are identified by the batch number printed on each label along with specific details of production such as the type of beer and hops that are used.

The secret is simply a deep communion with the raw ingredients and Gitte Holmboe works constantly to improve and refine the recipes.

Exclusive production of 25.000 bottles annually

Bøgedal was founded in 2004, and has an annual production of a mere 35,000 liter of 75 cl and 36.5 cl champagne bottles and KeyKegs. Each brew has a capacity of 640 liter.             

 

“…the brewery is Denmark’s smallest, but definitely among the most original”

Berlingske Tidende 

" When Casper Vorting guides you around the brewery, the mind tends to wander back to those seldom times that  you only experience in the cellar of a Mediterranean vineyard, when the winemaker proudly treats you to a tour of his cellar. This mysterious atmosphere and spirit is reflected in everything about the place: the brewing methods, choice of bottles, labels etc. It reeks of quality and a mature respect for the beers own character.”  

Henrik Bøegh,
Dansk Håndbryg

The world famous Danish Newspaper, Jyllands Posten, short and sweet, describes Bøgedal Beer as, “…a world class brew with depth and originality”,

Jyllands Posten

“Brewer master, Casper Vorting, has found a magic formula for beer, justifying its position as Denmark’s most costly. He doesn’t attempt to interpret an IPA, a monastery brew, a bock or for that matter any other type of beer. Beer from Bøgedal is Bøgedal Beer, in their own home-styled fashion. “

Jyllands Posten

Jan Filipe, Barley Wine, describes a Bøgedal Beer like this: “…is the only one in Denmark, maybe in all of Scandinavia that is remarkably singular, finding no points of reference among its fellows. Were we to find a parallel in the world of wines, it could be nothing less than a “Pingus-beer”.
