The Carlsberg Brewery

On Saturday afternoon (day one), we headed to the Carlsberg Brewery.  Hmmm....can you tell we've been in a dry country for months now?  Haha.  The brewery tour was intended for the beer-drinkers on the trip, but all members of the tour managed to have a fun time anyhow (Nory and I included!).  We signed up for the "Christmas Time Tour", which included some bonus beers at the end, along with a sampling of traditional Danish foods.  The food was a little disappointing (we're talking pickled herring and the stinkiest cheese known to man), but the dining area was wonderful and Nory and I were able to explore.  Here are some pictures:

One of my rare "outside" pictures.  Most of the tour took place outside (a surprise to us!) and I felt like I was going to freeze to death at points.  Hence, the limited number of estate pictures.....

The massive bottle collection.  HEY GEM!!!!!!!!!!!

Told you it was MASSIVE.

An indoor area that seemed to be just as cold as the actual outdoors!  But it was pretty in here.  And it felt like magical things went on here at one point in time :)

The malt display.  Who knew there were so many different kinds?!

Playing around with reflections while the others consumed their servings of beer.....plus MY servings of beer.  Did I tell you that they got two each PLUS four Christmas beer samples?  Because they did.  And they were LOVING LIFE.  Haha.
