Abstract

The large breweries in Denmark have existed in more than 150 years.
The industry has in recent 10 years experienced a true beer revolution where
local entrepreneurs created more than 100 microbreweries, so today there are
about 120 breweries in Denmark. One of the reasons why so many
microbreweries are experiencing success is because of the large breweries high
willingness to share their present knowledge and newest research with the
microbreweries. Another reason is the Danish consumers’ curiosity, interest and
willingness to buy special beers brewed with raw materials from the local nature.
One of these special beers is the hay beer from Herslev Brewery, called Mark Hø.
The story of the brewery and the beer will be elaborated in this chapter.
