The Ceres Brewery is a brewery located in Aarhus, Denmark. Today, it is part of Royal Unibrew. It was founded by a grocer named M. C. Lottrup, with help from the chemists A. S. Aagard and Knud Redelien, as the city's seventh brewery. It was named after the Roman goddess Ceres, and its opening was announced in the local newspaper, Stifstidende, in 1856. The brewery was successful, and Lottrup became one of the most prominent people of Aarhus. After ten years, he extended the brewery, adding a grand building as his own private residence, where he entertained other local figures. Lottrup's son-in-law, L. Christian Meulengracht, took over the running of the brewery after that, and was in charge for nearly thirty years, expanding it further. He then sold it to another brewery, Østjyske Bryggerier A/S. The brewery gained more esteem in 1914 when it was made "Purveyor to the Royal Danish Court". Source: This article is licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License.
