Mikkeller's airport outpost is the craft beer lover's answer to the sad-terminal-beer problem. Located airside between Gates A and B in Copenhagen Airport's Terminal 2, it pours around 20 taps of Mikkeller's own brews and guest selections — a genuinely good pint before you even leave the ground. Open daily from 5am to 11pm, it's equally suited for a pre-flight toast or a post-landing celebration.
Twenty taps of genuinely good craft beer airside at Copenhagen Airport — the rare airport bar you'd happily visit even without a flight.
It's airside — you'll need to clear security first. Head between Gates A and B in Terminal 2, and go early morning or late evening to avoid the pre-flight rush.
Craft beer that actually makes the layover worth it
Let's be honest — airport bars are usually a last resort, a place you tolerate because there's nowhere better. Mikkeller CPH Airport flips that script entirely. Sitting airside between Gates A and B in Terminal 2, it was the first business to open in the airport's expansion back in June 2018, and it's been pouring quality craft beer to travelers ever since. You'll find around 20 taps featuring Mikkeller's own brews alongside guest selections from breweries they respect — not the watered-down airport fare you'd expect. The setup is simple: order at the bar, grab a stool or settle into the seating area, and enjoy a genuinely well-made beer while waiting for your flight.
The Google reviews clock in at a solid 4.6, and the French reviewer's take — "très bon bar à bières, avec leur propre sélection" — pretty much nails it. You can sit inside or on what passes for a terrace in airport terms. Service is order-at-the-bar, which keeps things moving, and the staff are friendly if not hovering. Prices are what you'd expect for craft beer in an airport — not cheap, but not the gouging you might fear. BeerAdvocate reviewers noted the same: decent value given the context. They also do food — toasties and breakfast items — which is a nice touch if you're there at 6am. The bar even runs fun promotions; for its 8th birthday, beers were 8 kr at 8am and 8pm. If you're flying through Copenhagen and you care about beer at all, this is your stop.
Soyons honnêtes : les bars d'aéroport sont généralement une option de dernier recours. Mikkeller CPH Airport change complètement la donne. Installé airside entre les portes A et B du Terminal 2, c'était le premier commerce à ouvrir dans la nouvelle extension de l'aéroport en juin 2018, et depuis, il sert de la bière artisanale de qualité aux voyageurs. On y trouve une vingtaine de pompes avec les propres brassins de Mikkeller et des invités — loin de la bière insipide qu'on attendrait dans un aéroport.
Les avis Google affichent un solide 4,6, et un reviewer français résume bien la situation : "Très bon bar à bières, avec leur propre sélection ! On peut s'installer aussi bien en terrasse qu'à l'intérieur." Le service se fait au bar, ce qui garde les choses efficaces, et le personnel est sympa sans être envahissant. Les prix sont ce qu'on attend pour de la bière artisanale en aéroport — pas donné, mais sans l'arnaque que l'on pourrait craindre. Ils proposent aussi de la nourriture — toasties et petit-déjeuner — pratique si vous êtes là tôt le matin. Si vous transitez par Copenhague et que la bière vous intéresse un minimum, c'est votre arrêt.
