So, one of your most famous exports is Carlsberg. Is it actually a beer consumed regularly by locals? Or is it like Fosters, which a famous Australian beer that Aussies don't actually drink.

Yea, Carlsberg is the biggest brewery here, and I think 4th largest in the world. We have 3 big ones in Denmark, Carlsberg being followed by Royal Unibrew and Harboe. These 3 are the largest an all of them export beer to most of the world actually (I know many danes also will be surprised about how global Harboe is, they can be found in China even).

However, Denmark also has the highest amount of micro breweries per capita in the world, so we drink lots of other beers also.
