Known for a full range of styles

Refsvindinge Brewery was founded on 15 April 1885 by Hans Poul Rasmussen and began as a hvidtøl brewery. John and Ellen Rasmussen took over in 2001 as the fourth generation. In 1995 John brewed Ale No. 16 and, in the brewery's words, helped spark the Danish beer revolution. Since 1 January 2024 it has partnered with Thisted Bryghus on brewing, bottling, sales and marketing of a range of its products. At the malthouse in Refsvindinge, most of the handling of the malt is done manually.

How we measure this

Two thresholds are at work here:

  • The signature list shows notes that recur in at least 6% of this brewery's beers. A low bar — enough to flag a pattern, not high enough to call it an exclusive trait.
  • The peer comparison below shows only notes where this brewery's coverage differs from similar breweries by at least 20 percentage points. A higher bar — enough to call a real difference, not a nudge.

A note can appear on the signature list without appearing in the peer comparison: it recurs here, but similar breweries do the same thing.
