As I was strolling through Tivoli Gardens today, I noticed a group of guys handing out samples of something. Naturally, as a poor college student in Europe, enticed by the idea of getting anything for free, I went to investigate. It turns out that it was a group of guys from the Danish Technological University who, for a school project, created an environmentally friendly beer.
Apparently it takes a lot of energy to create beer, but they found a way to make it with less. Everything they were explaining to me was way over my head, but it sounded like a project that could easily be adopted by beer manufacturers.
With my very novice understanding of what a good beer tastes like (I'm only 11 days into being 21 ;-) ), I think this project has a lot of potential. Go to www.bryghus.dtu.dk to learn more about "Enzym Pilsner," which is the name the students gave their beer (they clearly do not have any Marketing Classes at DTU. Despite the unappetizing name, environmentalism is probably one of the best reasons to drink that I've ever heard.
Skål Til Det!!
