Subtitle, back in business again!
Visited the brewery of Carlsberg while on a visit to Copenhagen the other week. The beer bottle collection was interesting, there were rows and rows and even more rows of beer bottles, truly a sight to behold! just under 17,000 bottles of beer, a world record, they had a certificate from Guinness on the wall which I naturally found amusing.
There are these giant elephant sculptures carved in stone with what appears to be a swatika on the side, but the elephants were in place long before the Nazi’s stole the symbol. It was on their beer label before also, but has been discontinued for obvious reasons.
All the traipsing around the brewery was thirsty work, so we got stuck into a few beers in the brewery bar after the tour. You got two complimentary beers with the entry ticket, there were some discussions from certain members of the group that several entry tickets be bought and then go directly to the bar, the people at Carlsberg may look innocent, but it was not the first time that stunt was attempted. The beer tasted good none the less.
now THAT’S what i call touring! if you are going to visit museums and collections, why not make it about something important… like BEER!
glad to see you up and running mate.
Congrats on the move.
Don’t worry about the swastika on the elephant - it was a Christian symbol long before the Nazi’s took it over.
