Drinking outdoors / real ale in Denmark

About 15 years ago I was in Fredrikshaven on a Saturday. The Swedish ferry came into port & a vast number of young Swedes came into the town & drank themselves into a stupor on Spirits. An hour before the ferry set off for Sweden they came round the town with a cart, loading the drunken bodies on to it & pushed them on to the Ferry. I have never seen anything like it in my life. It just shows what happens when you try to keep people away from Alcohol!

Hello loobyloo,

There are four pubs in Denmark where cask-conditioned real ales are served.. The two of them are "Cask Marqued".

Don't stop! :) Where are they?

Yes.

Yes.

No.

I have no idea what real ale is, but there is a brewpub and small pub with a huge selection of beers, in the city centre.

--------------- As far as I know there are no laws in Denmark against drinking in public .That is as long as you can take care of yourself and don`t bother anyone else. There are particularly two streets in Aarhus lined with a lot of pubs: Skolegade and Aaen. Not sure what different kinds of beers they offer, but most likely it will be some variety of Carlsberg or Tuborg.

The contact person in Denmark has all the details + more info on what's brewing in Denmark!

Can't speak about Arhus, although aformer colleague of ine works there. Copenhagen ceratinly has some decent beers (e.g. wheat beers). Take plenty of dosh, though. Beer was typically a fiver a pint in central Copenhagen earlier this year, and the cheapest palce I found cahrged about three quid.

This is the problem. Even my ultra-budget youth hostel is costing almost 40 quid a night. I might have to...no...surely not...stay off the beer for a couple of days!

Many thanks to everyone for their helpful replies. I might not try the drinking in public act. I don't want to cause any offence or do any more damage to the image of Brits abroad.

You could stay off the hostel for a couple of nights instead ;-)

"Real ale is beer brewed from traditional ingredients, matured by secondary fermentation in the container from which it is dispensed, and served without the use of extraneous carbon dioxide."

Thanks Jesper, I think I've found them - the brewpub in Cerea Alle sells Ceres, and the Risras pub

That wasn't the ones I was thinking about. The small pub is on the corner of Sankt Clemens Stræde and Maren Smeds Gyde (and signs on the outside indicates the presence of rela ale). The brewpub is on Bispetorvet. But it's a bit of an upmarket place.

As for Ceres Alle, that is the home of the Ceres brewery, which is a large one. I think it's the second largest in Denmark after Carlsberg.

Thank you again Jesper. I will investigate these in February!
