A Genuine Look at the Copenhagen Craft BeerWalk

When we think about exploring a city, it’s often the stories and local flavors that stick with us the most. That’s what makes this Copenhagen Craft BeerWalk stand out. It’s not just about drinking beer; it’s about hearing stories from the breweries and the neighborhood—a chance to connect with Copenhagen’s beer scene while enjoying the city’s streets.

The tour is straightforward: meet outside the BeerWalks shop, where your guide, dressed in recognizable attire, will take you on a 2.5-hour journey through Vesterbro, one of Copenhagen’s coolest districts. As you walk, you’ll stop at four breweries, each with its own personality and story. Expect tastings from Mikkeller, Amager Brewery, ÅBEN Brewery, and Too Old To Die Young—all highly rated Danish breweries.

The tasting part is thoughtful but not overwhelming. You get six samples—enough to sip and savor—and a tasting glass you get to keep as a memento. The guide will tell you about each brewery’s history, brewing philosophy, and what makes their beers special. Plus, you’ll hear about the area itself—Vesterbro, a neighborhood known for its vibrant, eclectic atmosphere.

The experience is designed to be fun and educational without feeling hurried. It’s a social experience, not a pub crawl, which means you won’t be dashing from bar to bar. Instead, you’ll enjoy a relaxed walk, with plenty of time for conversation and taking in Copenhagen’s street life.

What’s Included and What’s Not

The cost of $57 per person seems quite reasonable when you consider the quality of the beers and the local knowledge packed into those 2.5 hours. Included are the six tastings from premium Danish breweries, a tasting glass to keep, and the stories that make each sip more meaningful. The guide’s humor and storytelling add to the cozy, HYGGE atmosphere.

What’s not included are food or snacks, so plan to eat beforehand or afterward if you’re hungry—this isn’t a meal tour. Also, tips for the guide are optional but appreciated, as with most tours. The tour is outdoors at all times (except for toilet breaks), so dress according to the weather.

How the Tour Works

Meeting outside the designated BeerWalks shop, you’ll spot your guide easily—they wear recognizable clothing. The tour runs in all seasons, rain or shine, which makes it flexible but also a reason to check the weather forecast. Since it’s outdoors, be prepared for Copenhagen’s unpredictable weather, whether it’s sunshine or drizzle.

The tour is conducted in English and Danish, catering to a broad audience. It’s not suitable for children under 18, pregnant women, or those with mobility issues, given the walking nature and outdoor setting.
