ÅBEN SHG15 - A New Brewery Built with Your Help
In 2022, ÅBEN will launch a new brewery in Copenhagen’s Meatpacking District - and you can help make it a reality. ÅBEN SHG15, named after its location on Slagtehusgade 15, will become a 1,200 m² combined brewery, tank bar and restaurant - the first of its kind in Denmark. You have the chance to become part of it now and get exclusive access to updates and tours of the construction.
“ÅBEN can no longer keep up with the fast pace at the brewery in Kolding. And with an ambition to bring people together, we hope to make this new brewery a reality and give you the opportunity to become part of it” - Philip Hulgaard, Founder of ÅBEN
Located in the Meatpacking District of Copenhagen, the ambition is to create a space that combines the raw, industrial look with the handcraft of brewing. Surrounded by large steel vessels you will be served beer tapped directly from the fermentation vessels and enjoy quality gastronomy from the open kitchen.
In the Mind of the Architects
Behind the construction of ÅBEN SHG15 is the award-winning architectural designers pihlmann architects. With a focus on creating a space for intimate experiences, the ambition is to preserve the original character of the building and let it re-emerge as a proud testimony of the premise’s industrial heritage. Through a rethink of how breweries are usually designed and built, the fermentation vessels will be placed at the front, to provide the guest with the feeling of being seated right in the middle of the production.
“It is our ambition to create an open space where guests can experience beer production at close range. By replacing the 980 carcasses that used to hang from Svalehallen’s butcher rails with grand steel vessels, we aim to let the original character re-emerge as a proud testimony of the industrial heritage. In a way we are turning the industrial space inside out, to enable the mentality of ÅBEN and invite everyone into the heart of brewing, while enjoying freshly brewed beer among good friends, fermentation and filtration” - Lenschow & Pihlmann
