Gamma Brewing are based in Herlev, Denmark. They are obsessed with fruity, hop forward beers amongst other styles. A barometer of quality, consistency and flavour.
Gamma is a Danish brewery born of an ambition to create delicious beer that is as gratifying to make as it is to drink, with a tendency toward the lavish use of hops.
Gamma Brewing Co was founded in early 2015 by five friends who met through bartending in the Copenhagen craft beer scene. In the beginning it was just a side project. ‘We bought one fermentation tank and installed it in a brewer’s collective in Gørløse north of Copenhagen, brewed a beer, kegged it, delivered it to local bars, brewed another and so on.’ With the addition of bottles and another fermentation tank in 2016 Gamma slowly but surely grew and we started to export our beer to neighbouring countries, while still operating as a side project.
‘However, in 2018 we decided to try and see if Gamma could be a full time project. With a further two fermentation tanks and replacing the bottling machine with a canning line, the popularity of our beer grew, and we were able to travel to international festivals and became part of the craft beer scene in Europe.
However, we were running out of space at the brewer’s collective in Gørløse, so in early 2020 we found the a great location in Herlev, just west of Copenhagen, a 1000m2 warehouse which was a perfect blank canvas for us to work with. As we were negotiating the lease the Covid-19 pandemic hit, with worldwide lockdowns as a result.
We feared the worst, but we received an overwhelming amount of support through webshop orders, private deliveries, export clients and local shops . After receiving this amazing and humbling support we felt confident in proceeding with the new brewery project, so we signed the lease, got the keys, ordered equipment and started building the brewery of our dreams.’
