Vesterbro, Copenhagen’s dynamic former red-light district, serves as the backdrop for the Beer Walk by Politically Incorrect Tours, a stirring blend of urban history, local brews, and unfiltered humor. This 1.5 to 2-hour outdoor walking tour guides participants through a neighborhood that has transformed itself from a troubled past to one of Denmark’s trendiest areas, offering an engaging experience for those who appreciate culture served with a cold pint.
Beginning near Copenhagen Central Station, the tour navigates through lively streets that once bore the weight of illicit trades and gritty street life. The route includes key stops such as Istedgade, known for its complex history of prostitution and street culture, and Sønderboulevard, where tales of local bodega culture and iconic brews like Tuborg Classic come alive. Along the way, guests savor nine distinct Danish beers, roughly totaling one liter, each paired with stories about their origins and the brewers behind them—including insights into pioneering gypsy brewer Mikkeller.
The final destination is WarPigs, a vibrant brewpub in Copenhagen’s revitalized Meatpacking District. Here, the tour’s politically incorrect humor culminates in an energetic atmosphere where heavy metal meets American-style brews. The mix of unapologetic storytelling and unique beer selections sets this tour apart, delivering much more than your average tasting.
Politically Incorrect Tours offers a singular perspective on Vesterbro’s evolution—from poverty and vice to the heart of Denmark’s nightlife and craft beer scene. Their unabashed approach to storytelling ensures an honest, entertaining visit that peels back the layers of Copenhagen’s cultural shifts.
