Herslev Bryghus: The Local Brewery

Just got back from a tour of the local brewery Herslev Brygus, which is located about 2 miles away from my house. The beer was absolutely incredible! 7 different beers, made from organic wheat and barley  grown in fields adjacent to the brewery. Some were sweet, some bitter, and some so incredibly rich in flavorful spices. Of course the best was for last. . . beer with chocolate undertones! Yum!

Here is a link to the Herslev Brygus website. (Warning: it is all in Danish. I have an automatic translator on my Google Chrome browser. . . highly recommended to anyone using foreign websites!)

We also learned about the fine art of beer tasting and appreciation. Lessons included swirling the beer to release the flavors, smelling the beer, identifying sweetness/yeast content/bitterness/dryness/smoothness/malt. We also got to see the machinery and tanks in which the beer is processed.

"Our keywords in production is high quality, pure ingredients and full traceability. We make beer, we can enjoy, and are inspired by the seasons in the development of new intense flavors - each brew has its own flavor and history."  ~Tore Jørgensen, Herslev Bryghus
