# Coffin-Brewed Beers The Danish National Museum is Brewing Beer From a 3300-Year-Old Coffin By Jennifer Paul | Published 2014-04-25 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/danish-national-museum References: [foodbeast](http://www.foodbeast.com/2014/04/24/3000-year-old-beer/) & [natmus.dk](http://natmus.dk/en/start/) The [Danish National Museum](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/microalgae-ice-cream) has partnered with Denmark's Skands Brewery in order to create a Egtved Girl's Brew, which is a beer that has been reconstructed from samples found in a 3,300-year-old coffin. The Egtved girl was about 16-18-years old and was from the Nordic Bronze Age. Scientists decided to scrap together what was left of her body from her coffin into this [ancient brewski](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beer-is-art-campaign). [Wheat malt, bog myrtle and cranberries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quinoa-beer) are the basis of the beer to create a contemporary taste. The Danish National Museum created this brew, which will be available in the museum's shop and online for a few dollars. I'm sure the young girl would be very happy that her remains are being made into a beer that everyone can enjoy. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.7/10 - Popularity: 1% | Activity: 13% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Ancient Ingredient Beverages:** Incorporating ancient ingredients into modern beverages can create a unique and intriguing product for consumers. - **Historical Reproduction Products:** Reproducing historical products can provide a new way for consumers to experience history and cultural heritage. - **Cultural Artifact-inspired Products:** Using cultural artifacts as inspiration for products can provide an educational and immersive experience for consumers. ### Who This Affects Most - **Beverage:** Beverage companies can explore using historical or cultural ingredients in their products to create a unique selling point. - **Museum Gift Shops:** Museum gift shops can offer reproduction products of historical artifacts to provide a unique and educational shopping experience for visitors. - **Historical Tourism:** Tourism companies can develop historically-inspired products and experiences to attract visitors looking for immersive and educational opportunities. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ancient Grain Lagers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fonio-lager.md) - [Rejuvenated Heritage Lagers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heritage-lager.md) - [Experimental Artisan Beers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carlsberg-beers.md) - [Life-Size Casket Coolers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casket-cooler.md) - [Ancient Grain-Crafted Beers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fonio-beer.md) - [Ancient Grain Beers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fonio-rising.md) - [Senior-Targeted Beers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/becks-70.md) - [Fonio Craft Beers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brooklyn-brewery-1.md) - [Coffin-Shaped Beverage Containers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-casket-cooler.md)
