At Charlie’s Bar Copenhagen we have 6 cask ales permanently on hand pumps, fed from our own unique design and hand built refrigerated controlled Cask Cooler Room, plus 12 Danish, German, Czech and Belgian keg draught beers. In the Winter months we always have a cask of Old Ale stillaged on the bar and gravity poured traditionally and we often serve Real Ciders this way too. The pub is only 62 square meters!

The Wharf, Aalborg, Denmark

The Wharf is located in Denmark’s third largest city , our customers can choose from an ever changing range of up to 18 cooled gravity poured cask ales and ciders from our own designed and built Bar-Cask-Cooler System (You don’t have to ask “is it cask?” You can see it is!). Presently, between the two pubs (Charlie’s Bar also) we average over 100 different firkins monthly and have served to our customers well over 200 different cask ales since we began our crusade in 2002 and are currently working closely with 35 British cask ale brewers and both our pubs have the Cask Marque Award.
