Derk Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 (edited) Beer being a regular item in this forum, the following news might be interesting: at the Carlsberg breweries in Denmark workers went on strike because they were no longer allowed to drink beer all through the day. At many places in the factory there were refrigerators where the employees could have free beer all day long. The management has now decided that drinking beer is only allowed during the breakes a couple of times during the day... Maybe Henrik could confirm this hot news ?? Conclusion: 1) WHAT a good reason to go on strike and 2) I have been working in the wrong places all my life..... Hou doe Derk Edited April 9, 2010 by Derk Quote
TX3RN0BILL Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 In Portugal, Beer pays taxes like other booze over their alcohol content. Recently, companies have reduced the alcohol content of beer so that they won't have to pay so much in taxes, but the end consumer price of beer has remained the same. Conclusion: You'll have to drink more to get the same "hit" you got before... more cash for the beer-selling companies! Quote
+hgbn Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 I haven't seen or heard anything on this in the danish news. So I can't confirm it But it could be plausible. Brewers along with shipyard workers are some of the most frequent on strike. Or at least it used to be that way. Then it's lucky I don't drink Carlsberg or Tuborg ( same brewery) My usual brand is Slots Classic from Maribo Bryghus Good Beer Quote
UnknownPilot Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 I never much cared for beer. Just something about the taste, I've tried several and never really liked any of them. But then I saw this, and it pretty much put me off beer - http://www.spike.com/full-episode/season-2-ep-6/28707 Quote

Derk Posted April 9, 2010 Author Posted April 9, 2010 Holy Grail, anyone? http://thatguywithth...hons-holy-grail Next time in the UK I'll give it a try . As a Monty Python / Holy Grail fan I guess it's compulsory.... And for Henrik: it was in our Teletext news.... Hou doe, Derk Quote
+hgbn Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 Wonder if it this smells like a news blackout here to avoid panic in Copenhagen Quote
ONETINSOLDIER Posted April 11, 2010 Posted April 11, 2010 until a while back, workers at the coors brewery in golden colorado were allowed to drink beer at lunch, until some meathead wrecked a company truck, and in trying to be politically correct, the management banned the practice, Quote
