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.
