It's high summer in Europe.

The Guardian newspaper reports on a new initiative in the Danish musical epicentre of Roskilde to make festivalgoers aware of the intimate link between them and their beer: the festival organization coined a new word "beercycling" which means nothing more than recycling the valuable nitrates from music lovers' urine through a near-by barley field, and then transmogrifying said barley into golden mjød (actually pilsner beer in the current project).

According to the newspaper, the Roskilde festival (established æons ago in the hippy era) has a reputation for its ecological awareness.

    And as for mainstream beer I'm prone to enjoy one too many Tuborgs. And we should all raise a toast to Carlberg's role in inebriating many a legendary Physicist.
