We all know Greenland’s ice cap is melting and, as it covers an area of about 1,6-million square kilometres and is about 3,000 metres thick, if it all melted, the world’s sea levels could rise by as much as six metres.
But Greenland Brewhouse seems to be making the best of the situation, by making beer with the pristine icecap water - it’s guaranteed to be at least 2,000 years old and free of pollutants.
Greenland Brewhouse brown aleThe company stresses that it only uses ice from icebergs, which have already broken off the main inland ice and are floating in the fjords, so they would have melted anyway. “We are very much aware of the global warming, and it is very important to us not to destroy or use the unique inland ice,†the brewery’s website says.
The beer is brewed by hand in a microbrewery in Narsaq, a town in southern Greenland. The small icebergs are said to be specially selected by local fishermen, who tow them to the brewery.
The brewery company was founded in December 2004 and produced its first beer in 2006. It makes two kinds of beer: brown ale, which was originally made by the Vikings, and pale ale, which originates in Britain. Unfortunately, it seems the beer is only available in Denmark.
