Hvidtøl No.1
Hvidtøl No. 1 is Hancock’s only top-fermented beer and is ready in about two weeks, while its lagers rest far longer. In the old days two kinds of hvidtøl were brewed: No. 1 was the stronger one and was sold only for the holidays, whereas Hancock now brews it all year. It is a dark brown beer, and hvidtøl is also what A. P. Lorentzen brewed at home when the brewery began in 1876.
