Greenlandic Beers, Burgers And Samplers

OVERVIEW

Sample a selection of beers of a local microbrewery in downtown Nuuk, followed by a lunch of grilled burgers made with local seasonal meats. It won’t take long to reach the brewery, which produces dozens of different beers. The main ingredients of grains and hops are imported from abroad, as Greenland does not grow these ingredients primarily because of the extensive ice sheet covering 80% of the land. However, Greenland boasts the most pristine and fresh water as one of the secret ingredients, along with unique seasonal herbs that grow from the fjords in some of its beer concoctions. You will sample several characteristic beers. They may include a malt-forward ale, a smoked porter and a spicy Belgian-style beer. Beer tasing and lunch will be served at the brewery café, where you will snack on small burgers, better known as sliders, and other specially prepared in-season specialties. The burgers will be prepared with unique Greenlandic ingredients such as reindeer meat, musk-ox, or lamb, depending on seasonal availability.
