Alefarm Brewing

What Alefarm Brewing does

Alefarm Brewing is a Copenhagen-based craft microbrewery founded in 2015 that produces contemporary handcrafted beers across a wide style range, including Session IPAs, NEIPAs, West Coast IPAs, double IPAs, fruited kettle sours, pastry ales, barrel-aged imperial stouts, wild/natural ales, and non-alcoholic double dry-hopped IPAs. Its core technology is the physical brewing process itself — fermentation, kettle souring, barrel aging, and hop-forward recipe development — executed at a single microbrewery facility, with no disclosed software, AI, or proprietary digital platform beyond a standard Shopify e-commerce storefront.

The business operates a multi-channel go-to-market. Direct-to-consumer sales flow through shop.alefarm.dk with nationwide Danish shipping and free shipping above 499 DKK. A monthly Beer Club subscription delivers 12 fresh beers plus member-exclusive seasonal offerings, discounts, and benefits, creating the only recurring revenue stream. The Alefarm Taproom CPH provides on-premise consumption, brewery tours, and order pickup, while a B2B wholesale channel supplies Danish bars and retail stores on request via [email protected]. Revenue mixes one-time purchases of single cans and mixed cases ($54-$140), gift cards in 250-2000 DKK denominations, subscription fees, and wholesale volumes. The customer base is fragmented across Danish craft beer enthusiasts, gift card recipients, Beer Club subscribers, and small-to-mid hospitality accounts. The company is privately held with 1-10 employees, no disclosed funding, and no disclosed revenue.
