It’s what made this country great. Boring Brown Bitters, boiled eggs, and little lit up alleys housing bikes and boozers, stuck amid quaint independent stores called VANS, North Face, Joe & The Juice and Fitness World. Oh, and pubs with a Cask Marque, the absolute guarantee of a Perfect Pint (it says here). I don’t… Continue reading GUESS THE PUB GOES ALL BBB

A FAREWELL TO MY LAST DANISH KRONE
Our last day in Copenhagen; a last day of £4 Starbucks (with no refills), relentless Danish efficiency and cheerfulness, and a last view of the Marriot from our Youth Hostel. We were off on a FlixBus to Lubeck. 170 miles, 4 hours, £25, and a free ice cream at the Ferry crossing. You can’t beat free ice… Continue reading A FAREWELL TO MY LAST DANISH KRONE
COPENHAGEN – BRUS & BRYGHUS
One last night exploring crafty Copenhagen before the long bus trip to Lubeck. I didn’t really want to go back to Norrebro; it wasn’t as if I wasn’t going to be able to complete The List. But I’m very shallow. Duncan had told me; “Brus is amazing. Beer with cloudberries among 30 options” Cloudberries ! … Continue reading COPENHAGEN – BRUS & BRYGHUS
THE 3rd BEST PUB IN COPENHAGEN
Enough about Carlsberg in Southwold, here’s one of my Copenhagen highlights, and possibly the Carlsberg/Tuborg flagship. After Bakken, we popped in Jerbanecafeen on the way from the main railway station to the rather more cerebral gardens of Tivoli. “Only” Tuborg on, so we gave Tivoli beer a miss. For now. I’d just bought the family huge… Continue reading THE 3rd BEST PUB IN COPENHAGEN
MIKKELLER AT THE FUN FAIR
Denmark Day 2 – a trip up the coast to Bakken, the world’s oldest amusement park. Back in 1583, just before craft beer was invented, when the major amusement was the beating of critical pub bloggers, often called Simon. On the way we stopped at Hellerup for Experimentum, and to admire the original Tuborg plant,… Continue reading MIKKELLER AT THE FUN FAIR
LORD NELSON, COPENHAGEN
Having just told the estimable Scott that Dublin is more pubby than Copenhagen, here’s a series of reports on bars that were as good as anywhere, even if they lacked old blokes and falling over drunks. The Lord Nelson is tucked just off the main shopping streets between the Tivoli and Nyhavn, but has the… Continue reading LORD NELSON, COPENHAGEN
THE HARVEY’S DRINKING WELL IN COPENHAGEN
Having survived war-torn Hamburg (reports to follow), I should have been prepared for a trip to Latitude near Southwold. Nothing can prepare you for the horror that is Waitrose-in-a-field. “Sod Mikkeller, try the cask in Charlie’s Bar” wrote Scott, the Dutchman with his finger in the dike, trying to keep out the flood of cask.… Continue reading THE HARVEY’S DRINKING WELL IN COPENHAGEN
