ÅBEN is not just a brewery; it's a brand that aims to create unforgettable experiences and bring people together. Founded in 2017 by childhood friends Philip Hulgaard and Johannes Karstoft, ÅBEN started as a brewery on Philip's childhood farm in Kolding. Since then, it has rapidly expanded and achieved great success.

In 2019, ÅBEN was named Brewery of The Year, and it has since taken over a beer bar in Roskilde, opened an ÅBEN beer bar in Aarhus, and launched a Summer Pop Up in Copenhagen. The name ÅBEN, meaning 'to be open' in Danish, perfectly encapsulates the brand's vision and values. ÅBEN is all about openness, whether it's being transparent about their brewing process, partnering with creative minds, or connecting people through their beers.

But ÅBEN is more than just a brewery. It's a platform for shared experiences, where quality craft beers meet holistic experiences that bring joy and happiness. ÅBEN is also dedicated to conscious production, using the best local ingredients and practicing recycling and reusing whenever possible.

Experimentation is at the heart of ÅBEN's identity, with an ever-growing beer archive that includes a wide variety of styles, from IPAs and stouts to unique sours. Although most of their beers are seasonal and limited in quantity, ÅBEN's carefully selected collection is always available for purchase through their webshop. The journey of ÅBEN has been nothing short of remarkable.

Starting as a hobby, it has evolved into a passion and a way of life for Philip. With numerous accolades and achievements, such as being named Brewery of The Year and launching successful events and pop-ups, ÅBEN shows no signs of slowing down.
