When at Nørrebro the bar Ølbaren is a must. The longest serving craft beer bar in Copenhagen – founded in 2001. Not created by a style-conscious interior designer, but the cosyness is unbeatable, the bartender is a legend and the selection of beers is still picked with a fine steady hand, a charming blend of classic brews and crazy craft.

Nearby you find the lively and big BRUS with 32 taps. Besides being a hot spot for beer lovers BRUS houses a brewery, brasserie and bottle shop. The brewery To Øl is the mastermind behind this house of beer.

On your way to the bar Himmeriget, you will pass the Belgian bar 1420, which specializes in sour beers, and Ølsnedkeren, young guns brewers, who normally brew strong, juicy and complex beers, but haven’t forgotten the art of brewing classic brews too.

Close-by Himmeriget is also Kølsters 12 Haner, the brewpub of the brewery Kølster, which is organic and uses local produce including herbs and fruits.

Himmeriget is where the beer nerds thrive. Not only the beer nerds from Copenhagen and the rest of Denmark regard this place as a temple. When Himmeriget once a year release the most hyped beer Cantillon Blåbær Lambic, beer enthusiasts from e.g. USA camp in front of the bar to get hold of the blueberry sour beer from the Bruxelles brewery Cantillon.

But the crown in the jewel among the beer bars at Nørrebro is Mikkeller & Friends, Mikkellers flagship bar in Copenhagen. Fourty taps with rare and handpicked craft beer from Mikkeller and his friends. Next door neighbor is Koelship bar with Belgian sour beers galore.

If you want to explore the beers from the around 5000 home brewers in Greater Copenhagen, you have a great bar a stone’s throw away from Mikkeler & Friends. Brewers Inc. always has home brews on their 16 taps.
