To Øl, a Danish brewery founded in 2010 by high school friends Tore Gynther and Tobias Emil Jensen, embodies a modern approach to beer-making, prioritizing quality, innovation, and sustainability. Initially, the brewery operated as a gypsy brewery, utilizing other breweries' facilities to experiment with various beer styles. In 2016, To Øl opened their own brewpub, BRUS, in Copenhagen, solidifying their presence in the Danish craft beer scene.
To Øl's brewing philosophy focuses on crafting unique and flavorful beers using locally and internationally sourced high-quality ingredients. Their brewing techniques vary depending on the specific beer style, often incorporating unique hops, malts, and yeast strains. This commitment to innovation has led to a diverse range of beers, from hoppy IPAs to dark stouts. Some notable examples of their beers include the Overall IPA, the 1000 IBU Imperial IPA, and the Deceptive Oatmeal Stout.
Sustainability is a core value for To Øl. The brewery prioritizes energy efficiency in its brewing processes, reduces water usage, and recycles waste materials. By sourcing ingredients locally whenever possible, To Øl minimizes transportation emissions and supports local businesses. Additionally, the brewery focuses on sustainable packaging practices, using recyclable materials and minimizing packaging waste. To Øl also donates a portion of their profits to environmental causes.
To Øl's dedication to quality, innovation, and sustainability has gained them recognition in the craft beer industry. Their beers are distributed worldwide, and they continue to push the boundaries of brewing with their experimental and limited-edition releases. Their most notable collaborations include beers with Mikkeller, Põhjala, Lervig, and Brewdog.
