Beer Festival

The Beer Festival is returning to TAP1 for three days of sampling the finest ales on offer (200kr for ten). 

Hosted by the Danish Beer Enthusiasts, the 14th Beer Festival in Copenhagen will, as usual, give the guests the  eagerly awaited opportunity to sample a great variety of beers with the organisers promising several novelties never before presented in Denmark.  

The main attraction is the beer itself: 70 exhibitors and around 800 different beers are ready to be served up at the festival. These include traditional ales as well as more exotic fruit and chocolate beers.
