Hvide Lam

While traveling, I love those little coincidences that bring me to cool places. This was one of them. I had been walking past this little basement bar and decided to stop in because they had been advertising their traditional Danish sandwiches. They were all out. It didn’t matter though because I stayed for a beer. They had a bunch of more crafty beers like Jacobsen made by Carlsberg. I had a light wheaty one.
The bar was filled with locals in intimate chats with each other, some of whom were smoking. The bartender and I started chatting after I ordered my beer. The conversation steered towards beer and bikes (two topics I am big fans of) and he dropped a little line about his uncle starting the Larry vs. Harry cargo bike company. I freaked out a little because a few of my friends ride BULLITT bikes, shipped from Copenhagen. I added visiting the bike shop to my list for the next day. In addition, the bartender knew I liked craft beer so he said I should visit this one cool craft beer bar. He wrote it on a napkin. I shoved it in my purse and pulled it out the next day. It read «Mikkeller». I had totally forgot Mikkeller was made in Denmark. I also went there the following day.
Hvide Lam is worth a visit if you are looking for a good beer, an intimate space and some good lunch food (I heard it was good anyway).
