The museum itself was quite interesting, you got a lot of information you would at any brewery, but you could also see how they used to brew Carlsberg in the "olden days". Another thing worth mentioning is that, to this day, Carlsberg has produced over 4.000.000.000 bottles of beer in 2010 alone!
There was also a "smelling room" where you could smell the various aromas used in any of the brewery's beers. Some smelled rather awful, where others smelled delicious. You received a list, and you could tick boxes indicating which aromas you liked. This helped you in the next and final "part of the tour".
The tour ended where you would expect from a brewery... in the bar! The 40 DKK entrance fee covered the museum itself, as well as two drinks from the wide range of beers brewn by Carlsberg or it's daughter breweries (incl. Tuborg) - And this is where the smelling from before comes into play, using the aromas you indicated, you could choose which beer fit your tastes best! Quite ingenious!
Class again tomorrow, and I'm looking at an early night to catch up some sleep!
Saint Patrick's Week starts tomorrow! Woohooo!
