I make it 64 different types, though, of course, some of the distinctions are somewhat arbitrary. It does, however, give an impression of the diversity of Danish brewing, especially amongst the micros. I doubt many countries could match it. An outstanding achievement for a nation of only 5 million.

You can see full details of the breweries and beer on my Danish brewery website, freshly updated and (I hope) fully comprehensive:
