Carlsberg: Probably the Best Beer in the World
So, this past Saturday my friend Luke and I decided to go to the Carlsberg Brewery. It turned out to be well worth our time. The architecture of it was amazing, which surprised me quite a bit. For instance we walked through what is called the elephant gate for obvious reasons as you can tell. 
We did a walking tour of the museum which was inside the old factory. We saw there huge collection of bottles that they sell around the world and found out as of 2000 they were the fifth largest beer company in the world.
The best part of the tour though was the two free samples at the end of it. And I definetely agree with their slogan, it probably is the best beer in the world. The beer tasting was good because of the beer, but there were also a lot of people in the bar area from all over the world. When we first got there we had no place to sit, but then soon some people moved and we took up seats next to an old couple. They didn't have much to say, but gave us one of their free drink tickets. It always pays to sit next to nice old people. Once the old people got up three people about 20-22 year olds from France sat down next to us.
We didn't quite know this at first until we asked the guy if he spoke danish so he could translate our chip bag for us. I had some suspicion that they weren't from Denmark because I could understand some of the words they were saying. Turns out he speaking French, but we had a great conversation with the three of them. They had some great tips for when we're in Paris, since that is where they are from. It's amazing the things that will bring people together from all over the world. It was a great day between great beer and great conversation.
