Denmark BA's

Shit, I'll have to check if I can make this... probably not though :/ I have visitors during the 14th-16th weekend.

 

Spent part of a day in Copenhagen last week with a couple of the RateBeer guys (yespr and Ungstrup). Time was the main factor, so we mostly hit brewpubs and a couple bars (was mostly a trip focused on getting new ratings). I went to:

Apollo Bryghus
Kobenhavn
Mikkeller
Norrebro
Olbutikken
Orsted Olbar
Vesterbro (Streckers)

Of those, the best places were definitely Mikkeller, Norrebro, Olbutikken, and Orsted. The other three are just places to get ticks. If you're going to hit Mikkeller, go as soon as you can after they open. It's quite small and gets very crowded. They have a really great bottle list.

If you've never been to Scandinavia before, be prepared to spend a lot of money. In both Sweden and Denmark (and I'd imagine Norway), a sampler at a brewpub will easily be 80-90 DKK ($15) and even regular beer pours at bars can be the same price. If you're lucky you can get small pours in the 0.25L range for about 30-50 DKK.

 

Nice. You visited the most important Bars/Brewpubs. I guess you also went to the most important stores for your bottle needs. It is true about the prices in Scandinavia (Norway is even worst), they have very high taxes on Alcohol and also the cost of living is quite high (but so are the salaries).
Since you were with Jesper and Jens I am sure you had a great time

 

I just wanted to give some love to Belgisk Bryg. Great bottle shop and very great guys running it!

 

Hey guys, I'm in Copenhagen on work and tonight is my last night in the country. If I have time I plan to stop by Olbutikken (love that store!) and almost definitely hanging out at Mikkeller for a bit. I've got a couple beers to share, so shoot me a message if you're interested and we can try to meet up. Cheers!
