BEER TOURS · COPENHAGEN
Every trip has one free afternoon too few. These 10 copenhagen beer tours justify the slot, priced and timed so you can decide in minutes and get back to the glass.
Walk through Vesterbro with a comic English-speaking guide such as Thor, Roger, Martin, or Derek, tasting eight beers, about one litre in all. Learn about Tivoli, Carlsberg, Central Station, Mikkeller, the Meatpacking District, and Copenhagen’s red-light district. This is a beer walk, not a pub crawl.
“Great way to explore the real city and especially by Thor. Who was very funny and knowledgeable… beer was great too!”
Explore Vesterbro and the old meatpacking district with guides such as Thor, Roger, Martin, or Steen. Taste eight local beers from an orange cooler while hearing funny, sometimes dark stories about brothels, drinking dens, breweries, and the neighborhood’s transformation. This is an outdoor walk, not a pub crawl.
“Tour guide was outstanding. Humor and history were well balanced. The beer was average and price should have been much more unique. Example Carlsberg Elephant or their Porter would be better selections. Also a beer from Mikkeller (like the Barley wine) would standout”
Walk Vesterbro with an English-speaking local guide, stopping at Freddy’s, Mikkeller, and Fermentoren for one Danish beer and two craft beers.

“Our guide was knowledgeable. Delightful tour. Great all around. Local guide. Got the people to interact well.”

Spend about 2.5 hours walking Vesterbro with an English-speaking BeerGuide, tasting six beers from four Danish breweries. Visit the first Mikkeller Bar, Istedgade, Sønder Boulevard, and the Meatpacking District while learning how the neighborhood has changed.
“My wife and I (American expats) thoroughly enjoyed this tour and highly recommend it. Guide Christopher was super knowledgeable and friendly, yet remained professional. He shared interesting background on the interesting neighborhoods we were moving through, and picked some fantastic beers for us to try. Christopher could answer all our questions about the brewers and processes, plus had great tips for where to eat (La Neta in Vesterbro had the best tacos and totopos we've had since leaving the USA; Warpigs had legit BBQ pulled pork, as well as tasty beans and hushpuppies). The whole group was fun and welcoming, despite us speaking no Danish. This tour exceeded our expectations,…”
