Beverages

Greenlandic coffee is a popular after-dinner drink. It typically features hot coffee, whiskey, KahlĂșa, Grand Marnier, and whipped cream. Served in a bordeaux glass, the coffee is set on fire before drinking.

Ice beer, that features 2000-year-old natural Arctic ice harvested from glaciers, was pioneered by the Greenland Brewhouse in Narsaq. Currently, the Godthaab Bryghus, in Nuuk, and Icefiord Bryghus, in Ilulissat, brew with glacial water. Both crowberries and angelica are brewed into ales at the Icefiord Brewery.

Until 1954, alcohol sales were heavily restricted in Greenland, so homebrewing is widely popular.
