<\/a>P\u00e5skebryg or \u201dEaster brew\u201d is a seasonal beer in Denmark. Notice the words \u201dkylle kylle\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0referring to the p\u00e5skekylling\u00a0<\/strong>[Easter chicken]\u00a0(Photo courtesy of mroach at Flickr<\/a>, CC License.)<\/p><\/div>Jeg stormed ud og k\u00f8bte \u00f8l \/ ja vintrens gamle stive f\u00f8l \/ f\u00f3r ud p\u00e5 gr\u00f8nne enge\u2026 <\/b>Once you get it, you\u2019ll see that only in Denmark would anyone sing<\/a> about springtime k\u00e6rlighed<\/b> (love) with the words: I rushed out to buy beer \/ yeah, the old, stiff winter foals \/ darted out to green fields<\/i>\u2026<\/p>\n \u00d8l <\/b>(beer) drinking in Denmark goes back to the Viking ages, and southerners are still shocked by the barbarous amounts many Danes are able to b\u00e6lle i sig <\/b>(swill)! \ud83d\ude42 But if you take your time to sk\u00e5le<\/b> (touch glasses) with a Dane, you\u2019ll find that they\u2019re not so closed at all. Remember, noone is expecting you to drink anything you don\u2019t like \u2013 what matters is hyggen<\/a> <\/b>and samv\u00e6ret <\/b>(being together) that the \u00f8l <\/b>helps to create. You can always ask for a sodavand <\/b>(mineral water).<\/p>\n Next to LEGO, beer from Carlsberg <\/b>is probably the most famous Danish export to the world. Another huge bryggeri<\/b> (brewery) is Tuborg<\/b>. If you\u2019re a beer lover, Denmark definitively is et godt sted at v\u00e6re <\/b>(a good place to be). All over the country small mikrobryggerier<\/b> (micro breweries) are popping up, so there are really many special\u00f8l <\/b>(special beers) to discover.<\/p>\n Traditionally, Danes have been drinking light \u2013 and maybe a bit bitter \u2013 bajere<\/b> (lagers). Now people in Denmark enjoy beers from all over the world, including ales and darker stuff. Maybe that\u2019s why v\u00e6rtshuse <\/b>(pubs)\u00a0 often have two varianter<\/b> of fad\u00f8l<\/b> (draught beer) to choose from \u2013 almindelig<\/b> (normal) and classic<\/b>, which is s\u00f8dere <\/b>(sweeter) and a bit m\u00f8rkere <\/b>(darker).<\/p>\n Be on the lookout for seasonal beer! \ud83d\ude42 The day when the jule\u00f8l<\/b> (Christmas beer) is launched is a major event (\u201dj-dag\u201d<\/b>) in many cities; om for\u00e5ret <\/b>(in spring) you\u2019ll often be asked if you want p\u00e5skebryg<\/b> (Easter brew)\u2026<\/p>\n Here\u2019s a little dialogue to get you started:<\/em><\/p>\n Turist: Hej, jeg vil gerne bede om to \u00f8l. <\/b>(Hi, I\u2019d like to ask for two beers.)
