The Danish breweries export primarily to the Baltic, Poland, Russia and Italy. The main part of the Danish beer sold abroad is produced under licence, and is therefore not included in the export figures.


Danish brewers produce more than 700 million litres of beer annually. They sell more than 7.000 million litres of beer worldwide; employ more than 30.000 persons worldwide; supply the Danish government with more than DKK 1.400 millions of annual revenue, alone from taxes on beer.
