BRAW is a microbrewery and a sub brand to Nørrebro Bryghus and is thriving to keep the kettle boiling with new, exciting beers at all times.
When Nørrebro Bryghus started in 2003, the small brewhouse in Ryesgade 3 was used to create lots of new interesting beer, for the then young and thirsty craft beer market.
In December of 2016 BRAW was born. As a brainchild of Head of Sales Bjørn Klubien and Brewer Emil Rosendahl, BRAW was a way to give new life back to the old brewhouse at Ryesgade 3.
Ever since, we have been keeping the kettle alive and brewed new and exciting beers to maximum capacity. Our beers represent who we are – a group of people who just wanna have fun – BUT, who want to drink delicious beers while having said fun.
In May of 2018 we took over the basement bar as well, and BRAW Bar was a reality.
So what group of people makes up BRAW, you ask. Let’s introduce the team:
Bjørn Klubien (Bjorn the Broker): Founder of BRAW and Head of Sales. Bjørn is the adult who paves the way for us to do what we’re best at. And he’s the greatest athlete in DK
Christian Abenth (Chrille the Cutthroat): Our Head Brewer and a man of many talents. Christian both brews the beers and is also cleaning the tap systems at our customers. That he looks like a male model for professional work wear while doing so, is just a perk.
Simon Quitzau: Creative genius for BRAW. Simon is the man that miraculously manages to draw everything exactly the way we imagined it. AND he comes up with the most awesome artwork for our labels.
That’s the team, now – what’s with the name?
BRAW is an old Scottish word meaning something fine, good or pleasing. Our linguistic analysis would claim, that the word travelled to Scotland through the Vikings. In old norse the word "brav" would be used to describe a man as brave or good. And we like that.
CHEERS!
In the basement at Nørrebro Bryghus, you will find the BRAW Bar, where the crazy world of BRAW unfolds in front of your eyes, while you pure down a beer from one of the 21 taps.
