Waiting for it

This Guinness advertisement is imaginative and tells the viewer that the product is worth waiting for. The video is both original and able to sell me a pint.

Guinness advertisement

Ten points for originality. The video below just did not make me thirty for a Guinness.

WTF? Westmalle Tripel commercial

If the video below is used to sell beer, then I am president of the world. The beer itself is great, but this commecial kills it.

I guess that it is so bad, that it is good - I just posted it right?

Brew house out of the box (perfect gift?)

"Brew house out of the box" aka. "GourmetTurnkey"

GourmetBryggeriet is now installing the first Turnkey brew house on Iceland.

The equipment arrives in a container and gets installed on site. The lucky owners of this new brewery is Ölvisholt Brugghús.

The project in it's third week and the equipment has been installed, and all piping done. Within one week the first brew will be made.

The perfect gift for the rich lad that has everything.

Samuel Adams Utopia - bigger than ever

The release of Saumel Adams highly anticipated 2007 release of Samuel Adams Utopia.
It ia an uncarbonated beer with a rich, complex flavor and 25,6% alcohol by volume.

Utopias is a handcrafted beer featuring a blend of brews, some of which have been aged for up to 13 years. The 2007 release of Samuel Adams Utopias comes in a collectible brew kettle–shaped, numbered bottle and will have a limited release of just 12,000 bottles worldwide.

The 25,6% makes it bigger than ever.

The Danes are number seven alcohol drinkers in the world

We are in the 7th place, even though we have high taxes.

Forbes reports that: "Taxes are apparently just a small piece of the picture. When Denmark turned to higher alcohol taxes a decade ago, the result was only a limited drop in demand. The country still ranks seventh in per capita alcohol consumption worldwide, at 11.5 liters per year."

Making mead (melomel)

Making a big old batch of mead with blackberry, strawberry, blueberry, raspberry and recurrent. The honey comes from bies living in Ejby Mose.

Almost 4kg berries went into the batch right away. Now the hard part begins; the waiting. Fermentation is going on strong, and will continue for 2 months, before the bottleing and aging begins.

Pure gold!
