Discover more about Penyllan Brewery

Penyllan Brewery stands out on Bornholm’s northern shore in Allinge, artfully reclaiming an old seafront warehouse as both a working brewery and atmospheric beer bar. Founded by a Danish-Australian team passionate about blending innovative craft with centuries-old techniques, Penyllan's range spans barrel-aged sours, crisp lagers, and seasonal ales, each crafted in limited runs. Stepping inside, visitors are greeted by gleaming fermentation tanks, walls lined with aging barrels, and a welcoming communal taproom where curiosity and conviviality are encouraged. Beyond the beer itself, the experience is shaped by its maritime location. Panoramic sea views pour through warehouse windows, and the industrial past lingers in exposed brickwork and steel beams. The owners are renowned for their dedication to experimenting with local ingredients—from wild Bornholm fruits to island-grown grains—which lends genuine terroir to the pours. Brewmasters are often present and keen to share the story behind both their rare bottles and tried-and-true classics. Tastings are a highlight: flights introduce you to a spectrum of Penyllan’s characterful brews, often paired with thoughtful bar snacks sourced from small Bornholm producers. The brewery’s reputation for barrel-aging means you may sample beers matured for years, with each glass offering its own tale. While the brewery is open year-round, summer brings an energy to the harbour, drawing a mix of locals, cyclists coasting the coastal trails, and travelers seeking the slow pleasures of the island life. Penyllan Brewery is a place where experimentation meets tradition—a must-visit for those interested in how Bornholm’s creative spirit finds expression one brew at a time.
