Nanobrewery / Copenhagen harbour

A container brewery taking shape in Sydhavn.

Small batches, local tastings, and beer brewed close to the harbour.

01 / Story

From idea to container brewery.

Proviant Brewing is a small brewery taking shape in Sydhavn. We are building it from the ground up inside a shipping container — with test brews, practical build work, and steady adjustments along the way.

02 / The container brewery

A brewery built inside a container.

The container gives the project its frame. Space is limited, so equipment, process, and recipes have to be carefully prioritised. The result is a small, flexible brewery where we can test, adjust, and develop beer in small batches.

03 / Current brewing experiments

Small batches before we scale up.

The first beers are brewed as test brews. We work with ingredients, fermentation, recipe, and feedback in short cycles, so we can adjust flavour and process along the way.

Tastings and local collaborations.

We want to build a small brewery with local roots. When the first batches are ready, we will invite people to small tastings and collaborate with people in and around Sydhavn.
