First grocery store for me in DK, didn't know this was a ratebeer place. Definitely interesting if you haven't had too many Danish beers yet, but it's mostly macro or widely-distributed stuff, I guess. I managed to find some interesting ones, especially my long-time want Carlsberg Porter, some local Hvide Sande and even a few US beers. Good for picking up some beers by the start of your holidays, but nothing to go out of your way for.

As the name suggests, a web shop mainly focused on lambic. Great selection with several specials from the big names but also gems from smaller brewers and blenders. Compared to other web shops, the prices are still reasonable, considering what lambic costs in general nowadays. Shipping is a bit slow, but it was worth waiting. Highly recommended!

Good web shop for mostly classic German beers and brands but also a few craftier ones. Easy navigation, very quick shipping, solid packaging, recommended.

Rather small, but extremely well-sorted bottle shop near 'Vrijthof'. I thought I could go for some locals but the shop is all about high quality craft beer from all over the world. Lots of big beers available within an astonishingly large lambic section (Vigneronne, Hommage, Framboos etc.). Staff spoke English, not even Dutch, and you have to ask for every price as there are no tags (is this even allowed?), but even this takes up quite some time. Almost about half of the beers are stored in a fridge, mostly cans and hoppy stuff, of course. Great place to stock up on some top notch beers, definitely worth a detour.

Medium-sized restaurant which is located in an almost historic cellar of former town hall. I have already been there as a child but can't really remember the look of it. I also never visited 'Hopfen & Salz' in Dortmund. The Hagen location is a welcome alternative to the rather boring gastronomic offerings around, especially since it's focusing on beer. Well, they do have 26 taps, most of them are macro or close to it, the most exciting ones are a NEIPA from De Molen, an IPA by Brooklyn and a Pale Ale by BRLO. Fortunately, they offer a tasting tray of five 0.1 l glasses, beers can be chosen by the customer, the most expensive ones are excluded though. During my visit, the glasses for the trays weren't available though, but that's due to having opened just recently. This is much more than offered in any other place in Hagen. Food is decent, rather hearty and classic, but also with a few twists like beer jus or beer coating. Prices are just okay, staff still needs some time to get used to the beer menu I guess. A promising venue for sure, but still with room for improvement. I wonder if Hagen is ready for 26 taps, I hope so, but time will tell.

Zlotta (7004) reviewed Radler Alkoholfrei from Flensburger Brauerei 2 years ago
Appearance - 4 | Aroma - 5.5 | Flavor - 5.5 | Texture - 4 | Overall - 4
0.33 l can, canned in March 2021. Hazy, pale golden yellow with a medium large, slightly fluffy, slowly diminishing, white head. Sweetish, a little sourish, rather fruity aroma of lemonade and light grains. Fairly sweet, a little sourish, quite fruity taste of lemonade, some lemon juice and light grains, followed by a short, slightly tart finish. Thin body, slightly astringent and gently effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Solid NA Radler, really not bad for what it is.
