Brewpub på Maltfabrikken
Fresh local beer served beneath the beams of Ebeltoft’s restored red malt factory, where industrial heritage and modern Danish craft brewing meet.
Tucked inside Ebeltoft’s striking red Maltfabrikken complex, Brewpub på Maltfabrikken pairs small‑batch craft beer with the raw charm of a revitalised 19th‑century malting house. Copper tanks, exposed brick and long communal tables set the scene for tasting freshly brewed IPAs, lagers and seasonal specials, often poured straight from the tank. It is a relaxed, social spot to delve into Denmark’s flourishing beer culture, framed by one of Djursland’s most distinctive industrial buildings.

Discover more about Brewpub på Maltfabrikken
Craft beer in a historic red factory
Brewpub på Maltfabrikken sits inside the old malt factory that once supplied breweries across Jutland with barley malt, lending the bar an immediate sense of place. The tall redbrick buildings around you date back to the 1860s, when Ebeltoft was a bustling harbour town and malting was big business. Today, gleaming tanks and taps have replaced conveyor belts, but the connection to grain, yeast and careful brewing runs straight through the walls. Inside, the space feels both industrial and warmly informal. High ceilings, heavy beams and bare brick recall the building’s working‑factory days, while contemporary lighting, polished wood and a long bar counter welcome you in. You sip beer in the same shell where malt once dried in huge quantities, only now the focus is on smaller batches, distinctive flavours and time spent lingering with friends.From tank to glass: taste of Djursland
The brewpub works closely with local producers, drawing on Djursland’s agricultural surroundings and nearby craft breweries to shape its line‑up. Expect a changing selection that typically ranges from crisp pilsners and malt‑forward amber ales to hop‑driven IPAs and richer seasonal brews. Many are poured unfiltered and ultra‑fresh, highlighting aromas that fade quickly in bottled beer. Curious drinkers can compare styles in tasting flights, moving from subtle, grainy lagers to citrus‑bright pale ales and perhaps a darker porter. Staff are used to explaining the nuances of bitterness, aroma hops and yeast character, making the bar as appealing for newcomers as for dedicated beer enthusiasts. On cooler days the malty, slightly sweet scent from the brewhouse can hang gently in the air, reminding you this is an active production site, not just a bar with a theme.Part of Ebeltoft’s creative hub
Step outside with your glass and you find yourself in the courtyard of Maltfabrikken, a broader cultural centre that also houses a library, museum functions, artist spaces and an eatery. The result is a lively, mixed‑use environment: you might catch glimpses of exhibition posters, hear faint music drifting from an upstairs venue or see families cutting across the yard with books in hand. This setting shapes the brewpub’s character. It is as much a meeting point as a drinking spot, drawing locals, day‑trippers from Aarhus and travellers exploring Djursland’s coastline. The architecture frames every visit: red facades glowing in late‑afternoon light, steel staircases zigzagging above and big windows revealing brewing equipment inside. In the evening, warm interior light spills into the yard, giving the old factory an almost theatrical presence.Atmosphere, seasons and practicalities
The mood changes noticeably with the season. In summer, outdoor tables are popular and the brewpub blends into the broader hum of the complex, with people drifting between food, culture and beer. The coastal climate keeps temperatures moderate, so it is pleasant to linger outside on clear evenings. Colder months push the action indoors, where candlelight and close‑set tables make the industrial room feel surprisingly cosy, and stormy North Sea weather becomes something to watch through the windows rather than endure. This is a casual place: there is no strict dress code, and conversations range from brewing techniques to local tips about beaches and hiking in nearby Mols Bjerge. Expect bar service rather than table formality, and plan enough time to try more than one beer. Mid‑week afternoons are typically quieter, suiting those keen to talk brewing and study the tanks, while evenings naturally feel livelier as locals drop in after work.Making the most of your visit
Brewpub på Maltfabrikken works well as both a stand‑alone destination and a stop within a broader exploration of Ebeltoft. You can combine a tasting with time in the surrounding cultural spaces or pair your beer with a meal elsewhere in the complex. Allow at least an hour if you want to sample a couple of styles, chat about the brewing process and absorb the atmosphere of the old malting house. For beer‑focused travellers, it offers a chance to experience Danish craft brewing in a distinctly local context rather than an anonymous bar. Those less interested in hops still have plenty to appreciate in the architecture, the sense of renewal in a once‑derelict industrial site and the easy, convivial rhythm of a place where culture and craft beer share the same redbrick walls.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
