Here's a pub-crawl cleverly disguised as a shore excursion. It's designed to please the most discriminating beer palate and, of course, is also suitable for those who are along strictly for the purpose of cultural enlightenment.
Danes consume an average of 23 gallons of beer per person annually, which places them firmly in the top ten of European beer-lovers. Although Aalborg is most famous for its production of Akvavit, there is little doubt that the locals love their beer too. Pubs, bars and cafés are generously represented in the tableau, and Aalborg is famous throughout the land for Jomfru Ane Gade (Virgin Anne Street) -- a whole street dedicated entirely to establishments where adult beverages are enthusiastically consumed.
Discover Aalborg from a beer-lover's perspective with a guided stroll to three of the most popular local watering holes. Starting out on foot from the pier, you will not have far to walk in order to find the first oasis. Step inside and learn about the specialty beers carried here -- or in some cases brewed right here on the premises. Meet the barkeep and enjoy the first of a total of six 5oz beer tastings included in the tour. Your beer is served in a special Aalborg Beerwalk logo glass, which is yours to keep at the end of the tour.
As you stroll from pub to pub, your guide will show you the Old Town of Aalborg and share stories from the colorful history of this northern town. Guests who wish to stay in town to shop or explore independently are welcome to do so, but must make their own way back to the ship.
Please note: Minimum age is 18 years.
