An Edible Voyage

October 2019 Kodbyen, or meatpacking district, was once a run-down industrialised part of town, but no longer.  Trendy restaurants and craft beer halls have moved in to the derelict warehouses, food trucks roll up every spring and summer weekend, doling out a tempting array of world cuisine, and the area buzzes with the chit chatter of locals and tourists alike. At Kodbyens Fiskebar, beautifully presented plates of the freshest fish and dainty desserts are served alongside more low-key newspaper cones of fish and chips and balls of sourdough, warm from the oven. Go to Kodbyen if for no other reason for the atmosphere and grab a beer (if you can ever choose from their wall of beer taps) from Warpigs Brewpub whilst you peruse the variety of tantalising food establishments. 

October 2019 Copenhagen is one of my favourite cities for sampling craft beer - such variety from some great breweries.   The tartness of seabuckthorn means that Gamma Brewing's Piquant sour ale is a little sour even for my liking, but the Plastic Brain session IPA is easy drinking. From Mikkeller, I loved the idea of the Waffle Breakfast - an oatmeal stout with coffee, cinnamon and maple.  Whilst it was delicious for a mouthful, all of the flavours came through very intensely so I found the whole can somewhat overpowering.  Find these at Tapperiet Brus where you can drink in or take away from their enormous selection of draft beers, cans and bottles.  They also serve food.

September 2019 Beerbliotek brew some tasty and unusual beers at their craft brewey.  This passion fruit and ginger sour ale was fruity, spicy and tart all at the same time. Find it at the Beerbliotek Tap Room in Gothenburg.
