Join Brew Your Own magazine in Denmark next year for seven full days of beer and bicycling as we sip and pedal our way to pure hygge! From May 16-23, 2027, don’t miss this unique chance to experience Denmark’s vibrant beer culture from the beautiful coastline of northern Jutland Peninsula all the way to historic Copenhagen (and we’ll even jump over to Sweden for a quick beery day trip!) We’ll visit a dozen breweries - from the well-known to hidden local secrets - and meet the people behind the beer. And as an added treat, we’ll attend the annual Copenhagen Beer Festival to explore Denmark’s best craft beers. Since this is Denmark we’ll even climb aboard a recreated traditional Viking boat to sail a fjord plus lots of scenic bike rides through coastal villages and countryside. We hope you can join us in Denmark for a really special week - but don’t wait, there are only 5 spots left before this trip is sold out. Skål!

Join Brew Your Own Magazine and Zephyr Adventures on this active Denmark brewery and beer adventure with professional guides.

The beer world lost a bit of nostalgia as it was announced this week that Schlitz, “The beer that made Milwaukee famous,” would no longer be brewed. If you missed out on getting some before the shelves emptied, you can always brew your own version! Years ago we ran this Schlitz clone from the 1960s when Schlitz was the largest brewery in the world.
