Århus

I just returned from the small beerfestival Århus at Aarhus Bryghus. While not that big, it was quite cosy place with both the large Ceres brewery and the smaller regional breweries like Odder Bryghus and Raasted Bryghus. Also a nice touch to hold the festival in the middle of a real life microbrewery. Michael wrote a bit a bit about our stand and beers with some pictures as well. Have a look at his site.

Top-rated brewcast

Just a quick note to add some more data to Justins lies, damn lies and statistics to mention that lunch meet certainly is the #1 show amongst homebrewers between 30 and 35 years old in the eastern Jutland area in Denmark, who work at an ISP. All two of them. Listen to last weeks episode to get the joke.
