About To Øl
To Øl, which translates as ‘Two Beers’, initially came about as a student brewing project back in 2005, after Tore Gynther and Tobias Emil Jensen had a discussion on the merits (or lack of) of big brewers with their college teacher – a certain Mikkel Borg Bjergsø. Mikkel the teacher famously went on to set up Mikkeller and the students soon followed in his footsteps, founding To Øl in 2010.
Since its inception, To Øl’s ambition has been to brew the best beers in the world. To Øl travels the world to create exclusive craft beers and explore the frontiers of brewing only using the best possible raw ingredients with an uncompromising approach.
The brand quickly became one of the planet’s most renowned nomadic brewers, contract brewing over 200 different, pioneering beers that are now available in Michelin star restaurants, craft beer bars, pubs and shops in over 45 countries around the world.
First entering Ratebeers’s top 100 brewery list in 2012, To Øl has been there ever since and was voted the world’s 9th best brewery in 2015, out of 19,000. The company launched its BRUS brewpub in Copenhagen in 2017, where the brewhouse now accommodates 13 fermentation tanks and 3 bright beer tanks.
To Øl has a progressive artistic and creative graphic identity, thanks to graphic designer Kasper Ledet who works from an open and fluid design strategy that mirrors the experimental style of the brewery. This ensures the To Øl brand has a very special visual identity – widely acknowledged and loved by customers, fans and influencers.
Euroboozer MD Martyn Railton commented:
“To Øl have been smashing it since they first arrived on the scene so it’s a massive privilege to be chosen to help them launch and grow the brand in the UK. They are already hugely respected amongst beer aficionados so we’re confident it won’t be long before they’re huge players in the UK’s diverse beer market too. They’ve got some really exciting things in the pipeline and we can’t wait to be a part of them.”
Simon Dehany from To Øl said:
“We brew a diverse range of craft beers; some potent and provocative, others fresh and floral where balance is central to everything. Our ambition is to use raw ingredients of the highest quality; never to compromise with taste and to keep pushing the boundaries of great beer-crafting. We’re confident the Classics range is a great introduction to our brand in the UK and we’re excited to be working with Euroboozer to really drive trial, awareness and growth.”
