Nanobrewery / Copenhagen harbour
Two friends. One container. A brewery in the making.
We’re building Proviant Brewing inside a 40-foot container in Copenhagen’s Sydhavn. Follow the pilot brews, curious experiments and work behind a small brewery with the harbour next door.

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

Journal and pilot brews
Notes from the container.
Here we share short updates from the container build, the first test brews, equipment, permits, and tastings in the local area.

After months of drawings, discussions with the authorities and practical decisions, we have received the 40-foot container that will form the frame of Proviant Brewing.
Testing the first canning module
We are testing the first module of our canning line before adding the label machine and packing module. Right now the goal is simple: make the machine move cleanly, handle cans properly and avoid turning aluminium into modern art.
Brewery status: first pilot brews, first lessons
Pilot brewing has begun. We are refining our summer lager for balance, body and refreshment — and learning from every batch, including the Hazy IPA that ended up on the floor.
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.
Community and events
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.
