About the brewery:

The WinterCoat brewery is a family-owned and operated brewery situated on an old farm just outside of the village of Sabro in Denmark. Niels J. Thomsen, owner and brewer, was born in the farmhouse. The brewery has a capacity of 8 hectolitres, and we can brew this 4 times a week. Niels Thomsen's wife, Disa Fink is also employed by the brewery as well, and their son, Kristian, also helps out. The brewery produces mainly English-inspired beers (ales), 8 of which are available year-round, supplemented by 4-6 seasonal brews.

In December 2006 WinterCoat brewed and tapped 16 casks each of Yellow Jacket and Double Hop for a US import company specialising in craft beer and spirits from around the world. That's not even one cask per state, but, hey, it's a start! The beer was sold to specialty pubs across the US.

The first WinterCoat beer in the US was put on tap in late January, and most of it is due to go on tap in pubs within the month of February.
