According to the founder of Copenhagen Gin festival, Jakob Rosengren, the popularity of gin is due its widespread utility, as he said in an interview with Danish newspaper Jyllands Posten:

“Gin is popular as it can be used for everything, and new taste variations are launched all the time. 12 years ago, there were 300 brands globally, today there are more than 5,000.

In Denmark, micro distilleries are growing, just like the microbreweries did some years ago.

Copenhagen Gin Festival takes place from 21 to 22 February 2025 in TAP 1 on Amager from 11:30 to 23:00. Location: Raffinaderivej 1, 2300 København.

With the new location an even larger number of visitors (in 2024 at the former venue 8,000 came) can gain access over the two days, so if you want to go, booking tickets in advance is recommended.

Once you have bought your ticket at DKK 285 (giving you access for 3 hours) there will be free tastings at the more than 50 booths, representing about 280 different gin and tonic brands as well as stands where visitors can buy different gin and tonic drinks as well as food.

This year, different brands of vermouth and whisky are also presented.

Get your tickets in advance and choose the time slot that fits with your plans for the weekend. With your ticket you get a sample glass goblet to use at the different booths for your free samples of gin and vermouth and for more than a sample you can buy drinks/cocktails at all stands at prices from 60 DKK.
