Hancock Craft Beer

Hancock is the Jutland brewhouse from 1876 that has never been tempted by shortcuts. From the Skive area, the family brewery has for generations held onto solid, unpretentious Danish brewing craft while much of the industry around it was bought up and industrialised. This is beer that still tastes of place and history.

  • Bottle of Hancock Gambrinus Dark, dark bock, 33 cl
    Item no.: 22227865427--18401-3

    Gambrinus was the king of beer in medieval folklore, and Hancock has borrowed the name for a dark bock that lives up to the royal association - full-bodied, complex and built for cold winter evenings.

    Expert description of Hancock Gambrinus Dark

    Hancock Gambrinus Dark, also known as Old Gambrinus Beer, is a dark bock with a full and complex flavour. The bock style originates from Germany and is characterised by a high alcohol content and a solid malt character, and Hancock's version follows this tradition with a deep, dark profile offering more body than most Danish beers on the market.

    This dark bock is ideal for the colder months and pairs perfectly with heartier dishes like grilled meat, roasts or aged cheeses. Its solid malt sweetness and full body make it a beer to take your time with, rather than a quick thirst quencher.

    Two years at freezing point, only Czech Saaz hops and Danish malt. Påskebryg is Hancock's take on classic Danish brewing craft.

    Expert description of Hancock Påskebryg

    Hancock Påskebryg is a strong, traditional Danish Easter beer at 10.5% ABV. It's brewed exclusively with 100% Saaz hops, giving a clean, aromatic and lightly spiced hop profile. The taste is powerful, full-bodied and intense - a result of the large amount of raw materials used in brewing.

    The beer is also aged for a full 2 years at freezing point before bottling, giving it a rounder, softer and more harmonious character. Hancock never compromises on ingredients - in all their beers, Hancock exclusively uses Czech Saaz hops, recognised among beer connoisseurs worldwide as a reliable mark of quality, along with exclusively Danish-produced malt.

    Hancock is a regional brewery from Skive, founded in 1876, and part of the classic Danish brewing tradition with a focus on solid, craft seasonal beers like Påskebryg.

About Hancock

Hancock is one of Denmark's most traditional breweries, founded in 1876 in Skive and family-owned across generations. The brewery is known for an uncompromising approach to classic Danish beer brewing, where quality and local tradition outweigh trends. For collectors, Hancock represents a rare example of an independent Danish brewery that has survived nearly 150 years without being swallowed by the big brewing groups.

History & Background

Hancock Brewery was founded in 1876 in Skive, making it one of Denmark's oldest still-active breweries. Over the decades it has remained family-run while much of the Danish brewing industry consolidated around a couple of large groups. The name Hancock comes from one of the early co-owners, and the brewery has since kept its focus on classic, craft-driven beer styles rather than mass production.

History & Background

The brewery has changed ownership several times over the years but has retained a strong local connection to Jutland.

Production & Style

The beers are brewed using classic Danish methods, with growing focus on craft beer alongside the traditional pilsners.

Signature Style

Malty, Traditional, Varied
The flavour varies by beer type, but a malty, Danish base note runs throughout.
