Giant Shiny Tanks
Turns out there's a lot I didn't know about Carlsberg beer.
The brewery's history, and that of its brews, is lovingly retold in the great exhibition at the old brewery here in Copenhagen. It's all been updated recently with new audio and lighting trickery to help tell the story, and here and there some smells thrown in for good measure. The whole thing is staged within the original brewery buildings themselves, so there's plenty of photo opportunities of big old tanks and barrels, pipes and the occasional unconvincing mannequin (but more on that later).
The tour wraps up with a beer tasting in the bar above the active Jacobsen boutique brewery, which has plenty of shiny new copper tanks in active use.
