Krenkerup Classic
This beer is based on traditional Danish bottom-fermented lager and brewed with the brewery’s own barley malt, dark aroma malt, and the finest hops. Like all bottom-fermented beers, it undergoes a long maturation process, resulting in a fresh and delightful taste.

Krenkerup IPA
A pure floral bomb that combines the sweetness of caramel malt with the soft, delicate bitterness of hops. The aftertaste carries a grape-like aroma with hints of fresh, crushed grapes, a touch of mandarin, and grapefruit.

<0,5 % vol.
Fresh and golden non-alcoholic pilsner brewed with selected malts and hops, which give a clean and crisp character with a pleasant bitterness. Gently pasteurized to preserve the fresh taste and classic, refreshing beer experience – just without the alcohol.

Krenkerup Classic Alkoholfri
Non alcoholic
A refreshing non-alcoholic Classic with a round malt character and light sweetness, brewed with carefully selected ingredients and balanced with a little more hops. Brewed with a special maltose-negative yeast that preserves flavor and body, and gently pasteurized – a classic, but alcohol-free beer taste.

Water
We have chosen to serve Bornholms Kildevand. We think it is the best in Denmark, and fortunately we are not alone in that. The water from Boring 7 at Paradisbakkerne on the rocky island in the Baltic Sea is full of good salts and minerals from the Bornholm subsoil, and this helps to make the sip both fresh and flavorful, while also enhancing the flavor nuances of the food it is served with.

Sparkling mineralwater from Bornholm
The fizz is gentle, yet intense and full-bodied. This is because the carbon dioxide is added during special de-icing and cooling processes, which means that the many but small bubbles are bound in the water for longer, and thus the fizz lasts longer in the glass.
40

Still mineralwater from Bornholm
You will love our natural still mineral water. The drops in the beautiful glass bottle are the pure taste of Bornholm. The many minerals from the Bornholm rocky soil give the tear its taste and character.
