Beer is the third-most-consumed liquid in the world (after water and tea), but not long ago it was still surprisingly hard to find a decent beer bar in Los Angeles. No, not an ultra lounge cordoned off by velvet ropes and cologne-soaked bouncers or a high-end speakeasy specializing in retro cocktails. A bar. One that serves craft-brewed beer.
This is a trend I can get behind.
In Copenhagen, we have Charlie's, a tiny English pub with 18 excellent (and often changing) brews on tap. But Charlie's is so small and crowded (think Tokyo subway at rush hour) that your enjoyment of fine brew is clouded by the (friendly) jostling and unavoidable spillage.
And you can forget about having a remotely private conversation. Ask a friend how they liked the new James Bond film and everyone within 3 feet (that would be anywhere from 11 to 15 people, depending on girth) will chime in.
So a dedicated beer bar... with space... great cask ales... a knowledgeable staff (Charlies bartenders know everything about beer, but haven't the time to talk) would probably go down well here in Copenhagen.
