I will relate here an event that is a bit old news, but worth his weight in peanuts anyway ;-)
As you probably know, the countries of northern Europe are big beer drinkers. Denmark is the 8th largest in the world, with almost 90 liters per year per capita. France is the 38th largest and the first are the Czechs, with 157 liters (!!!) And in these countries, we drink and we also manufacture. The two most famous Danish brands, you probably know, it's Carlsberg and Tuborg (except that it is more or less same brand, one bought the other).
Well just imagine that in April, the Carlsberg factory workers went on strike five days because because management decided on April 1 to no longer grant that only one free bottle of beer a day for employees, against three previously. And eat at lunchtime only. According Point , drivers ensuring deliveries would continue however to enjoy the right to consume three beers a day outside of meal times. I do not know how the conflict ended, unfortunately.
Note that there was a another strike in May, this time for wages. She really threatened shortage the entire country, because it is by far the most consumed brand ...

There are of course also panels with a little history, where we learn that the brewery was founded in 1847 by JC Jacobsen certain that the name "Carlsberg" means "hill of Carl," Carl is the name of his son ... In short, the life of the founder and brand. I was somewhat surprised to learn that Carlsberg is also still the 4th global brewer, as you might have suspected you?
Hop, go outside. There are statues in the garden, because the founder was also a patron.
This one may well be a model, she finally almost the size of the true
Hey, I liked the old vehicles which used to deliver beer
But what is the most sudden, the tour, the tasting is offered two beers to choose from in the catalog, with explanations of the different flavors to boot. Considering the price of the ticket (65 kr), we found it laaaargement :-).
And in fact, as I am launched on the subject: if you're really a madman of ale, it surely amuse you to go on the Tuborg Boulevard ...
... somewhere in the northern suburbs, to admire the giant bottle of Tuborg who sits proudly:
