Funen and Surrounding Islands

Beer is the cornerstone of Danish beverages, and the local brewery Albani, located in Odense, produces lovely lagers and darker varieties. For even better microbrewery beer, look for the brands "Vestfyen" brewed in Assens, "Refsvindinge" brewed in the town of that name and "Midtfyns Bryghus" brewed in Brobyværk on menus and supermarket shelves. The bar Christian Firtal in Odense serves these and other local products as well as English cask and bottled ales, Belgian and German beer.

High quality spirits are also available, and aquavit is traditionally a part of Danish lunches in general. Only few brands are locally produced, though, and these are not widely available. Most are imported from the rest of Denmark.
