The Vikings Are Coming!

I love my beer. Everyone thinks Carlsberg’s the most popular Danish beer, and it is around the world, but not in Denmark – Tuborg has that distinction. An interesting side note though is that Carlsberg, a successful brewer for the past couple of hundred years, sponsored the researcher who identified the species of lager yeast which differed from the usual ale yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae – the lager yeast was named Saccharomyces carlsbergensis.

As for Danish culture, there’s only two beer brands available in Canberra, Carlsberg and Tuborg, and the Tuborg we get here is brewed in New Zealand.

They’d probably support another go at the civil union laws for same-sex couples, given they’ve been legal in Denmark for almost 20 years.

They might also like to get involved in the Steiner/Waldorf community here – I understand that this is a popular thing in Denmark.
