Should anybody ever ask us which two breweries in the craft beer world are the two manliest, we wouldn’t hesitate for a second before naming Tampa’s Cigar City and our very own Amager Bryghus. Whenever the two

All friendly playing around of course, and always with the same outcome: a humiliating defeat for the Tampa boys. Not only will our big man, head brewer Jacob Storm, beat them but so will fellow founder and CEO Morten Lundsbak - and both with right and left hand.

Nevertheless this beer was originally brewed and released by Cigar City under the name Top Roll, apparently the name of a secret arm wrestling technique all employees at Cigar City must now learn to keep their job.
