Aarhus Craft BeerWalk

Aarhus Craft BeerWalk: A Cozy Brew & Storytelling Experience in Denmark

Imagine wandering through Denmark’s second-largest city, Aarhus, with a guide leading you on a 2.5-hour outdoor walk filled with local craft beers and lively stories. For $57 per person, this guided BeerWalk offers a relaxed way to explore Aarhus’s vibrant streets, tasting world-class Danish beers from breweries like Mikkeller, ÅBEN, and Ebeltoft Gaard Bryggeri, while learning about the city’s culture and brewing scene.

What we love about this experience is how informal and friendly it feels—no rush, no crowded pubs—just a cozy stroll with stories and good drinks. Plus, the kept tasting glass makes for a charming souvenir. On the downside, since it’s outside, you’ll want to dress appropriately for the weather, and if you’re more interested in a sightseeing focus, you might wish for a bit more sightseeing commentary. This tour suits beer enthusiasts, social travelers, and curious explorers who enjoy a relaxed pace and local stories.
