These Scandinavian breweries are among the best in the world

The Scandinavians have a lot to be proud of when it comes to our fine beer. But this year perhaps more specifically the Danes. Danish Mikkeller takes the top spot as the best Scandinavian brewery in the world by the site RateBeer.com.

According to the site, the winners represent a small portion of the top 1% of brewers worldwide.

“All of us in the RateBeer worldwide community are very pleased and grateful for the artisanal contributions of these leading breweries.”

All in all, six Scandinavian breweries made it on to the list of the top 100 brewers in the world. Among them was Swedish Omnipollo, which was voted among the top 10 best beers in the world in 2018.

Norway’s contribution to the list was breweries Nøgne Ø and Lervig Aktiebryggeri.

?45 Days Organic Pilsner ? . The slower the fermentation, the better a pilsner tastes. We took no risks and decided to ferment and mature our pilsner no less than 45 days. It would be a sin to rush it after all. . Enjoy all the crisp complexity that belongs in the golden lager we all love, and enjoy it more knowing it was made only with the highest respect and admiration for the style. .
