Nordic Brew Festival 2026: Nordic Beers in Frederikshavn

"Up in the far north of Jutland, Frederikshavn makes its case as a beer destination with the Nordic Brew Festival. Organised by the local branch of Danske Olentusiaster, the Danish beer enthusiasts' association, the 2026 edition takes place at Arena Nord over the weekend of 23-24 October, opening on the Friday afternoon.

True to its name, the festival puts the spotlight on the Nordic region: a broad selection of specialty beers alongside spirits and delicacies from breweries, distilleries and producers across Denmark and its neighbours. The arena setting gives room to plenty of stands and an easy flow between them, so you can sample widely and chat with the people who made what is in your glass. It is run by volunteers who know their beer, which keeps the tone knowledgeable and welcoming.

For anyone exploring the top of Denmark, gateway to the ferries across to Norway and Sweden, it is a fitting regional celebration to build a weekend around. Entry is ticketed; check the organiser for session times, the full exhibitor list and travel details before you go.
