Mark asked the other day about his planned drive from Hamburg to Århus. Any good brewpub stops along the way or places where I could pick up some good Danish microbrew?
I don’t know the scene first hand myself, so I asked the Danish crew at ratebeer, and they gave a quick response.
South of the border there are a fair number of breweries:
Hansens in Flenburg
Asgaard in Slesvig
Husums Brauhaus in Husum (detour)
Kieler Brauerei in Kiel (detour)
Ricklinger in Rickling (warmly recommended)
Possible detour to Neustadt in Holstein, Eutin and Lübeck.
So, on the Danish side:
Sønderborg (detour): Brøggeriet
Kolding: You’ll Never Walk Alone
Havnens Vin og Tobak i Vejle is a recommended bottle shop, and there are two brewpubs in Vejle
Horsens: Horsens Bryghus
Århus: Cockney Pub, Thorups Kælder, Universitetsbaren, Sct. Clemens and Fair Bar – and a couple of supermarkets with a good selection.
If you prefer to avoid the motorway, there are other options:
Esbjerg: Dr. Louise
Ølgod: Ølgod
Herning: 2 brewpubs
I think you need more than five days, Mark!
Follow that car!
Thanks Knut! I really appreciate it.
It looks like there is plenty to choose from.
Ah! It’s so good to read some familiar names at last!
Best brewery on the german side of the border: Ricklinger Landbrauerei, although it looks somewhat like a chickenshed.
And, being born and bred in Schleswig, I highly recommend the Schleswiger Brauhaus, Asgaard is the name of the beer, nice beergarden next to the firth.
Finally, since I’m now living in Flensburg, great food and beer at Hansens Brauerei; I should go there more often.
Enjoy your trip, Mark!
Ps: Don’t miss Brøggeriet in Sønderborg!
