New anniversary brew

In 2022, the 400th year of shared Danish Jewish history will be marked. Ever since Christian IV invited Jews to Denmark in 4, Jewish life has existed in Denmark. It should of course be celebrated. The Danish Jewish Museum has therefore made it possible to share in history both through lectures, book publications and exhibitions, but also by putting it on the table in bottle format and getting a taste of history in a jubilee brew.

Together with Ørbæk Brewery, the Danish Jewish Museum has developed a jubilee brew that gives flavor to history and can contribute both to the celebrations in connection with the commemoration and to focus on history. It is not a historical beer, but a beer that conveys history. In addition to malt, water, yeast and hops, both cane sugar and tea have been added, which Jewish trading houses have imported to Denmark.

"Danish Jewish history has been characterized by both light and darkness. It also reflects our choice of design. But there is every reason to mark and celebrate this chapter of Denmark's history together", says director of the Danish Jewish Museum Janus Møller Jensen.

"We are happy to be a supplier for this festive historical event", says production manager Andreas Falkenberg from Ørbæk Bryggeri, who has been behind the development of the beer.

It also reflects a common Danish Jewish beer history. Tuborg, for example, was founded by Philip G. Heyman, who also became the brewery's first director - and was also followed by other talented Jewish businessmen in the director's seat.

It can be bought in the museum shop at the Danish Jewish Museum from 28 September, where tastings are served all day.

400 – a jubilee brew is a strong lager that can be drunk in festive layers and goes well with dishes such as chicken, salads, fish and spicy food. It comes in 75 cl. bottles and the contents correspond to four items. One for each century. It is organic as well as kosher.

Location: The beer can be bought physically in the museum shop at the Danish Jewish Museum
