Denmark, via Carlsberg, played an important role in the popularity of lager beers. This has been immortalized by the name given to the bottom fermentation yeast: Saccharomyces Carlsbergensis. The domination of lagers has left few place for the old traditional ales, mostly of english origin.
The danish market is largely dominated by Carlsberg (owner of Tuborg and 5th biggest brewer in the world) at 80%. In second position comes the Danish Brewery Group (Albani, Faxe, Maribo, Ceres, Tauras and Thor). Despite the (former) relatively small number of breweries and the modest diversity of styles, people of Denmark are the third bigger beer consumers in the world. During the last 10 to 15 years, a number of new microbreweries have opened. If you can, try to get your hands on beers from Brockhouse, Norrebro, Herslev, Mikkeller, Raasted and Svaneke.
I was in Copenhagen in 1990, visiting the Tuborg brewery. My thanks go to Adam Jarolics for bringing me some interesting beers in the nineties, to Jeppe "BierKönig" Bjergsoe and Henrik Papsoe for wonderful rare beers.
The most boring beers of Carlsberg, Tuborg and Ceres are well represented in Switzerland. Since november 2000 Carlsberg is owner of the Feldschlösschen-Hürlimann Holding.
