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.

    I'm enjoying a refreshing Lagunitas Czech Style Pilsner.

    But I'm sure I could be convinced to drink some barley urine.
