<div>Dok Brewing Company is a microbrewery where you can grab a beer and have a bite.&nbsp; The brewing installation is the central piece in what used to be a transformer hall on the old ACEC-site. The sawtooth roof and large expanses of glass are a reminder of the industrial past.&nbsp;<br><br>Nowadays, you can enjoy the splendour of the building while having a beer from the 30 taps in our taproom and grabing a bite from RØK (BBQ) or&nbsp; BØEF (international fingerfood). We’re open from Tuesday to Sunday.</div>
