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.

    You clearly don't know beer. America is almost the only place left in the world that brews good beer.

    Name me some beers outside the US if you don't believe me.

    America brews good craft beer.

    Disregarding craft beer, the best domestic you're gonna get is Sam Adams, and that's not saying much.

    Bartender: Hey dude, I recommend Batch 19. [gianteagle.com] It was, like, this old recipe Coors found in the basement under a broken pipe or something, and they decided to roll with brewing it.

    Me: I'll try some. *sip* *cough* Ghyauughh, there's a reason why they kept that shit in the basement all those years.

      Sorry, I read your comment to apply to all American beer.

    Staying with the Danish theme, they're really taking off: http://cphpost.dk/news14/news-news14/danish-microbrews-taking-off.html [cphpost.dk].
     
    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.
