If you’re looking to explore the hottest craft beer scene in Europe, look North to Denmark’s enchanting capital city. Copenhagen's craft beer culture is an intoxicating mix of tradition and innovation that creates an unforgettable experience for beer enthusiasts.

As if that weren’t enticing enough, the city is also home to award-winning, beer-centric restaurants, informative (and tasty) beer tours, and other one-of-a-kind beer-focused experiences just waiting to be explored. Get ready to discover a city where every pint tells a unique story and where the craft beer scene sets a global standard for excellence. Here’s just 8 of the ways you can dive into Copenhagen’s craft beer community.
Eat and drink
There is no end to the innovative and delicious beer bars peppered throughout Copenhagen — like WarPigs, Ølbaren, Fermentoren, ÅBEN Brewery and People Like Us, just to name a few. However, the city's true distinction lies in its collection of beer-centric restaurants that combine exquisite food with an exceptional array of beers, elevating the gastronomic experience to new heights. Here are just three examples.
SURT
What makes this restaurant (located in the Carlsberg district) a standout is not only its featherlight-yet-heavy-on-flavor pizzas, but also that its owner, Giuseppe Oliva, has a passion for fermentation. In a nod to the area’s beer-heavy history, Oliva uses his own (lovingly cared for) yeast when creating his delicious sourdough pizzas. He’s even collaborated with Carlsberg to make a sour beer based on his own yeast — a one-of-its-kind project not offered to any other restauranteur. SURT’s menu also offers an excellent array of beers designed to complement your meal. Any pizza you order is sure to satisfyingly sate your appetite but do consider starting your meal with the refreshing zucchini salad with house-made fresh cheese.
Barr
Located along the scenic waterfront of Copenhagen, Barr offers a new twist on Nordic cuisine, featuring creative takes on dishes like meatballs, fish and waffles. But Barr is equally serious about its beers and maintains a close collaboration with independent craft breweries to create an ever-changing selection of beers. The drinks menu, thoughtfully organized by taste profiles like Crisp, Hop, Malt, Smoke, Roast, Spice & Fruit, and Tart & Funk, encourages exploration and discovery. Don’t leave without trying the signature dish (with a thoughtfully paired beer of course): schnitzel wiener art.
