Our aim is to delight you with outstanding organic beers – not just today, but for many years to come. That’s why we brew beer with a passion for our craft and a respect for the world around us, striving to leave as little impact as possible.

Ever since we received our organic certification in 2015 and became a 100% organic brewery in 2018, we have had a clear vision: It isn’t just a necessity; it’s an integral part of our identity. It’s about responsible production that protects our environment and supports biodiversity.

Sustainability is an ongoing journey without a predetermined path, and we’re always keen to learn and find new ways to improve. We embrace the exciting challenge of discovering innovative solutions that benefit both our brewery and our bottom line. In fact, our investments in energy-efficient technology and renewable energy have not only been good for the climate, they’ve also helped us save money in the long run – it’s a win-win! Since 2021, our beer production—including brewing and bottling—has been certified as a carbon-neutral process by FORCE Certification.

In 2024, we took an important step by introducing a new method for managing the process water from our brewing and bottling operations. It’s now being converted into biogas, which produces fertilizer that benefits both local residents and agriculture on Bornholm. This new approach reduces our environmental impact and use of chemicals, while also easing pressure on Svaneke’s local sewage system and treatment plant.

We believe that transparency and credibility are key to building trust. That’s why we undergo annual verification by our independent partner, FORCE Certification, to ensure that our CO2 emission data remains accurate and reliable.

Since 2021, we’ve had great success brewing and bottling beer with zero CO2 emissions. How do we do it? By using biogas, solar energy from our own solar cells, and power from both wind and solar energy.

We have also invested in a recovery system that captures CO2 from the fermentation process. This recycled CO2 is used during the bottling process and is delivered straight to our draft beer customers. This is an important step for us as it reduces our dependence on industrially produced CO2.

We realise that carbon-neutral brewing and bottling is only one part of the bigger picture. Raw materials like malt, hops, bottles, cans, labels and packaging are not carbon neutral yet. That’s why we don’t claim that the entire beer lifecycle is CO2-free. However, we are constantly striving to improve and reduce our overall footprint.

Our efforts cover everything from our production and transport to our choice of raw materials and packaging. We are currently in the process of conducting a double materiality analysis to gain deeper insights into how our activities impact both the environment and society, helping us to identify which sustainability areas we should prioritise moving forward.

We believe that by understanding our impact, we can take steps in the right direction and make a real difference.
