Breweries in Copenhagen

The Apollo Brewery
About 50 meters from the main entrance to Tivoli on Vesterbrogade, Apollo is found, the oldest Danish micro brewery, which was founded in 1990 as a house brewery and restaurant. The brewery always has its own brew in the taps. The standard beer is pilsner, brewed according to the German principal of purity. So all it takes is hops, yeast, malt, water - and time!

The beer of the month is a special brew to fit the season created by the brew master. Henrik Damgaard is good at experimenting and this results in many surprising brews!

Open: Monday-Thursday from 11:30-midnight, Friday and Saturday from 11:30 - 02:00 and Sunday from 15:00-midnight
Vesterbrogade 3, DK 1620 København V, Tlf. +45 33 12 33 13

Jacobsen The House Brewery
Although you may not be interested in digging into the past history of the Carlsberg breweries, you could pay the Visitors' Centre a visit. Buy an admission ticket which includes two glasses of well-poured beer in the House Brewery bar. From the large room, you can overlook the production below.

The choices of beer include Jacobsen's special brews, the Semper Ardens products and a large selection of both Carlsberg and Tuborg products. If you are lucky, you can get to taste the Jacobsen's Limited Edition house brew straight from the barrel (as the name implies, there are times when it is be sold out).

Open: Tuesday - Sunday, 10:00 to 16:00
