The Brewing Network and Ølfabrikken

According to Brewcaster J over at The Brewing Network (TBN), Christian Skovdal Anderssen (on the right) from the Danish microbrewery Ølfabrikken (‘Olfabrikken’ = ‘The Beerfactoty’) was to appear on their show. Unfortunately he apparently cancelled. This was one show I would have loved to hear. Christian is an extreme brewer who dare making beer that are true to style and pushing the style to the limit. I would claim that Olfabrikken is different than all the other Danish micro breweries in the field right now. Olfabrikken has really been influenced by the American craft brewers community. Heck, they have even made beers based on recipe from American craft brewers. Not in the typical covert way – but giving the original craft brewer credit.

So this post is ‘reporting’ on something that did not happen, which is kind of strange. Olfabrikken, however, is probably the most interesting breweries in Denmark right now. It is not a coincidence that they got the two awards: ‘Beer of the year’ and ‘Brewery of the year’ among many other recognitions. All in all it would have been very interesting to hear that programme.

Any Danish micro brewery would be exiting to hear about on TBN, then it would truely be brewers from all over the world, as they say in the intro of the programme.

Anna is a bot, and I am a brewer

I admit it. I am somewhat of a geek. I do computer stuff for a living and brew beer. Time and again I find examples of geeky subjects entering pop culture. Take the hit "Boten Anna" about this guy on IRC chatting away with poor connection the the analouge world.

When will there be a monster hit about this guy trying to brew a beer and finding the source to something great?

There IS beer related music in danish and in Denmark, but that absolutely sucks. While I wait for some popular beer music, you can see and hear the music in question. Thank God that beer is analouge!

While the lyrics really stinks - people do party hard to this music!



I know a bot,
her name is Anna, Anna is her name
And she can ban, ban you so hard
She cleans up in our channel
I wanna tell you, that I know a Bot

I know a bot,
her name is Anna, Anna is her name
And she can ban, ban you so hard
She cleans up in our channel
I wanna tell you, that I know a Bot

That always watches everyone here
And makes us out of trouble
There is no Take-over that succeeds
Remember that it's I who know this Bot

The bot that no one else can beat
And she kicks even if she shouldn't
She gets rid of everyone that "spams"
Yes, nothing can beat our Bot

(Ready for take off)

(Are you ready?)

And then came the day I didn't think was real
The channel was out of control
I never thought I would be so wrong
But Anna wrote and said
"I'm not a Bot,
I'm a really beautiful girl"
Which is, unluckely, now very strange to me
But nothing needs to be explained
Because for me you will always be a Bot

Her name is Anna, Anna is her name
And she can ban, ban you so hard
She cleans up in our channel
I wanna tell you, that I know a Bot

And makes us out of trouble

And she kicks even if she shouldn't
She gets rid of everyone that "spams"
Yes, nothing can beat our Bot

Guinness dart

So now you can remeber the dark Guinness from draught when playing on the new dart board. I like semmless design, and do not mind that this board is advertising. There is plenty of room for intellegent advertising - hopefully pushing some of the bad ones away.

Relax - have a Guinness
