While wandering around the streets of Copenhagen, we unintentionally ran into the meatpacking district. This particular block was a huge U shaped building with dozens of bars and restaurants.
There was a huge variety, and all looked pretty cool. I wasn't in CPH long enough to know if this was just a cool part of town, if it was Danish Hipster, or perhaps we were just mesmerized by the coolness of it all. We actually stopped at Hija de Sanchez (see other review) first, then made our way to Warpigs.
The first thing I noticed about Warpigs was the name, the logo, and a bunch of happy people standing outside, beer in hand.
Even before entering, some local guys out front turned and welcomed us. I inquired about what their suggestion would be for beer (always good to ask locals what they like, if you want to try homegrown stuff), and not only were they extremely helpful, they ALL said "here, try mine"! Talk about aloha spirit, alive and well in Denmark! That was super cool of them. And not only did I sip their drinks, one of the gentlemen said "this one was named after me. I'm Kenn Lee". This meant nothing to me at the time, but as soon as I made my way inside and saw the massive list of beers on tap (22 of them), sure enough number 22 was Kenn Lee's Revenge!
I was browsing through all 22 on the board, and the moment I saw number 16, I knew I had to have it. Nowhere else on Earth can I go somewhere and order a "You Really F#%ked Me Up, And I'm Really F#%king Furious". The name alone sold me! Luckily, I'm not a picky beer drinker, and like imperial milk stouts, which this was. It didn't taste like a traditional imperial milk stout, it was stronger, similar to a harsh barley wine. I enjoyed it, yet it did give me a strong buzz, living up to its name. A few more of those and I do think I would be yelling it's name out loud- unsure if I was ordering or accusing.
They also had a neat collection of in-house bottles, each with cool graphics on the label. I got a chuckle from the border crossing Mexas Ranger. Unfortunately, I stuck to draft beer though, and did not sample the bottles.
Warpigs is actually a BBQ joint / brewpub. We had just eaten twice before arriving here, so I had zero room to try some BBQ, although I would have loved to. It looked delicious. This gives me the excuse to go back again, which I one million percent will, when I'm in CPH again. This place truly was great, in all aspects.
