Ølfestival København 2011

During Michael's visit to Danmark it just so happened that the Copenhagen Beer Festival was taking place. Since I had already been planning to go with Ole and Birgitte it only made sense that Michael would also attend. In the United States we hold a special awe for European Beer Festivals, so it was fantastic that one with 79 brewers and hundreds of different beers was taking place during Michael's stay.

Every beer enthusiast or brewer I have met in Danmark has been extremely friendly, and the Beer Festival was an extension of this. With everyone talking and laughing together it truly has an ambiance of spending an afternoon with good friends.

Clothed in our Real Hoppy Ale shirts, Michael and I arrived at the Beer Festival around 3 pm on Thursday the 26th. Ole and Birgitte were already there, with Ole being the official photographer of the event.

Despite what many may believe about Beer Festivals, there is quite a lot to do. From foosball tables, to live bands, DTU students making ice cream with liquid nitrogen (pictured below), and catching up with old friends, it is not easy for one to become bored at a beer festival.
