Beerfestival in Copenhagen 2010

It bears the imprint of it, the notebook, it has been filled with small words on great beer and is almost about to burst. Last week there was only one of the best festivals udi beers ever. There was also opening of a bar that will pull Copenhagen into the world league of beer in bars. And MOUTH-FULL helped both events, so long as we could keep it going.

Mikkeller Bar
First opening Mikkeller Bar, how can a beer bar get world class? Possibly when the man behind the brew of some of the most experimental beers in the world. Perhaps when he has contact with almost all of the leading other breweries around the world. And possibly, for the opening alone, there is brewed in the neighborhood of 28 new hop gems.
By offering one self as toiletcleaner and bottle boy, where we present a few hours before the opening and it is a pure pleasure to have problems like where one sholud find space for DarkLord, Cantillon Rose de Gambrinus, Dolle, Brewdog, Jolly Pumkin, Dubuisson and then some. The candles were lit in the window and then toppled the congregation inside, who spent the following hours to go in through one door, get a beer and then go out on the street again. So many we were. It was cold, but for those who held it out, it was one wonderful fluid after the other. To describe Mikkel brew work would be like describing a beech leaf; simple idea, brilliant execution. Mind you in every launched brew. We want instead everything good in future.


Beer Festival in 2010, how to maneuver Mon among many thousands of beer to a festival?
You make a list. Then you do not stick to it and spend more time trying to meet new and old friends than to taste around the beer. SOLNESS was the festival and it was fantastic. By divine roads, there was also an exhibitor bracelet and we could be in Tap 1 when there was totally crowded.

We missed too much; Raasted, a few exciting from the Belgian house and all specials at saturday. There was also a bock from Thisted, we would have had and  17 to 18 pieces from Mikkeller. But it does not matter, when the tasted beers, was great stuff.

How Revelation Cat gets the crazy idea that tørhumle lambik, exceeding our sense, but when the result will be the best refreshing, friskfyragtige sour beer ever, it's just alright. Brewdog is that Mikkeller (Texas Ranger,  thank you), a brewery, which like shooting sparrows with cannons and disappointed either.

The Danish breweries were present in great style. Carlsberg exile in serving the world's most expensive beer most of all reminded of a clear syrup. Horn Beer had also been experimenting and produced a misleading fermented liquid that tasted of rotten, smoked bacon, of course, beer is not just beer anymore. Nor at Aarhus Brewery, which laid up the goodies with a eisbock, which turned out to taste of brown, flat cola; Damn.


Among the more pleasant experiences, must surely include Croocket Moon, who had a smoked porter, which must have been to the sale of brew's soul to the devil. With Nørrebro Brewery we got messy for us so very well from the 20 taps that it was not to leave the stand until well after closing time. Viking Oud Bruin, Blonde from the Ardennes and Fanoe the Rav, and Grass Roots DIIPA was just in the closet. Lund Engineering beating awfully liver pate and tastings at an ESB and a Wit, which was 17 days old and tasted of much more. We knew more about brewing, we could have followed more in the technical explanation of the small miracle. Herslev had a low aspargesøl, it was damn 'too good, we saw white fish, new potatoes several asparagus, wild garlic and rhubarb for the inner eye, while beer slid down. At mads past is Djævlebrygs nightmare, with its acidic and smoked form, including exciting we think Herring buffet and smoked mackerel.


Svaneke who shall we dælmig on tour again soon. When you're thirsty in germany, drink Mon Keller Bier and pitchforks from the Bornholm was not to be mistaken for gannet it tasted of summer. The names began to be hard to pronounce, the light sometimes sharply and also took photos with bananas in the nose, a beer festival featuring more than hops, water, yeast and malt. There are more, but we keep here in your notebook, or it is just too hard to read ...
