COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Danish: Tag en god ting og gør den endnu bedre – det er filosofien bag Amager MurpHill. Den gode ting er vores mere end solide Amager Rug Porter, som vi har hældt på bourbonfade. Her har den ligget i hele 6 måneder, hvilket har rundet den i forvejen bløde rugporter med behagelige toner af vanille, træ og selvfølgelig varmende bourbon. Hvis du undrer dig over navnet, så kan vi afsløre, at denne øl er opkaldt efter to af de mest talentfulde amerikanske bryggere Shaun Hill og Mike Murphy, som med deres tilstedeværelse her i landet har beriget dansk brygkultur i utrolig grad. Shaun og Mike er masterminds bag vores Rug Porter/ MurpHill projekt, og det er med ubetinget stolthed, at denne øl er opkaldt til deres ære. English (from Google translate): Take a good thing and makes it even better - it is the philosophy behind the Amager MurpHill. The good thing is our more than solid Amager Rye Porter, which we have poured in bourbon casks. Here it has been around 6 months, which has turned an already soft rye porter with pleasant hints of vanilla, wood, and of course warm bourbon. If you wonder about the name, we can reveal that this beer is named after two of the most talented American brewers Shaun Hill and Mike Murphy, who with their presence in this country has enriched Danish brewing culture in incredible degree. Shaun and Mike is the mastermind behind our Rye Porter / MurpHill project, and it is with absolute pride that this beer is named in their honor
