the idea is, we have to choose the right Bamse. In Denmark we only have good Bamser, so it is not that easy. I think perhaps it is to do with the singer Bamse, since surely, Bamse from the childrens book does not drink beer - or have I missed something. Would Danish parents allow their children a taste of Danish beer?
So, I think the saying must refer to:

BUT that does not make it any easier for me to chose the right beer - it is such an individual thing, isn't it - that feeling of "snapping" the "cap" off a beer. So, if you would just kindly kindly let me know which of the many Danish words for beer, I should chose to transfer the feeling you get, when you hear the sound that takes place, when you snap the cap of a cold beer that you have pulled out from the cold water in the deep blue sea on a hot Summers day, I would be very grateful :-) Which beer is it the Danes drink to keep them so happy?

I agree - especially if this is for a children's book - I doubt children are aware of the many different Danish beers - or at least they shouldn't be!

Hello Lisbeth, now I am intrigued. I'm not sure who is most confused, you or me! Øl = beer. The questions of whether Danish beer is the best in the world, the various names for beer in Denmark, the number of brands available in Denmark and which one Bamse prefers are surely irrelevant in this context?
