Gamma Brewing Co was founded in early 2015 by five friends who met through bartending in the Copenhagen craft beer scene. In the beginning it was just a side project, they bought one fermentation tank and installed it in a brewer's collective in Gørløse north of Copenhagen, brewed a beer, kegged it, delivered it to local bars, brewed another and so on.
With the addition of bottles and another fermentation tank in 2016 Gamma slowly but surely grew and they started to export their beer to neighbouring countries, while still operating as a side project as they all worked full time elsewhere in the craft beer scene through 2017.
However, in 2018 they decided to try and see if Gamma could be a full time project. With a further two fermentation tanks and replacing the bottling machine with a canning line, the popularity of their beer grew, and they were able to travel to international festivals and became part of the craft beer scene in Europe.
Throughout 2019 they added more fermentation tanks, hired staff and continued to produce the beers they loved to drink. However, they were running out of space at the brewer's collective in Gørløse, so they decided to start looking for a building to make their own and build a brewery exactly like they wanted it.
In early 2020 they found the a great location in Herlev, just west of Copenhagen, a 1000m2 warehouse which was a perfect blank canvas for them to work with. As they were negotiating the lease the Covid-19 pandemic hit, with worldwide lockdowns as a result. They feared the worst, but they received an overwhelming amount of support through webshop orders, private deliveries, export clients and local shops coming together to support the craft beer industry.
After receiving this amazing and humbling amount support they felt confident in proceding with the new brewery project, so they signed the lease, got the keys, ordered equipment and started building the brewery of their dreams.
