Derk 265 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.....

TX3RN0BILL 3 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+hgbn 91 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UnknownPilot 33 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
