Greetings From Copenhagen
A photographic tour of my trip junket* thus far.
(More after the jump.)

*This trip paid was for by the Carlsberg Foundtion--basically entirely. They didn't pick up the tab at War Pigs, but assume they paid for everything else.

| Arrival. |
 |
| At War Pigs, a joint venture of Mikkeller and Three Floyds. |
 |
| Impromptu tour of War Pigs. Note the hat. |
 |

 |
| Growing barley indoors. |
 |
| An 1883 bottle from which... |
 |
| ...yeast wranglers like this cultured viable cells. |
 |
| And made a beer we were all there to taste. |
 |
| Stan Hieronymus and Evan Rail tasting the beer. |
 |
| One of the four oldest (1847) lager cellars beneath the brewery. |
 |
| Bottles I discovered rummaging around one of the old cellars. These probably date to the 1920s or '30s, according to our guide. Update: probably earlier (see comments). |
 |
| More cellars. |
