Brewpub and restaurant in Nørrebro, Copenhagen
BRUS
Twenty Metres From Tank to Glass
To Øl is one of the best known names in Danish beer, and BRUS is where it started brewing. The big brewery now lives out in the countryside at Svinninge. BRUS keeps a foot in the city: a brewpub in a former iron foundry and locomotive works on Guldbergsgade in Nørrebro, 750 square metres of raw concrete, tanks, a bar and a kitchen.
The house brags that beer travels less than twenty metres from tank to glass, and the tap list backs it up. Brewers Tom Pyke and Emil Rosendahl run the small kit on site under the To Øl CPH name. Recent boards have carried a Bohemian-style pilsner, a Copenhagen best bitter, an Irish dry stout called Waning Gibbons, a California common, hazy IPAs and a saison, alongside To Øl favourites like Whirl Domination. Pours come in small, large and by the pitcher. They also make their own tonics and sodas with hops and yuzu, so the non-drinkers are looked after.
The kitchen cooks from scratch, with lunch until mid-afternoon and dinner from half past four. Go for lunch on a weekday and drink the pilsner. If you want to learn, book the tasting with a tour of the mini brewery. There is a cinema next door if you need an excuse to leave.
