Tvedes Bryggeri

Hans Jørgen Tvede (1815-1878) was a builder of profession but his grandfather had owned a distillery on Gråbrødretorv and his father managed a brewery in Grønnegade.

Tvede had also experience with brewing of beer from Ørholm Mølle, which he had rented for some ten years before acquiring a lot on Vesterbrogade in Copenhagen in 1851 to set up a new brewery.

[3] The buildings were at that point owned by Dyrlægernes og Agronomernes Pensionskasser but converted into an andelsboligforening in 2005.

The production buildings on the rear are not listed but are registered as "worthy of preservation" (bevaringsværdige).

About half of the brewery was originally located on the other side of Vester Fælledvej (in Frederiksberg Municipality).

[3] In the cellar of his brewery, Hans Jørgen Tvede opened the Vesterbro Samaritan where people in need could get a meal.
