Beer: Mikkeller evening

A friend visited and while playing PS3, talking camera stuff and such, we ended up having quite a few Mikkeller beers which I haven't posted here before:

Mikkeller - All Others Pale is a nice, fruity IPA. Another very nice beer from Mikkeller. Easier to drink than many other Mikkeller beers. Probably a good place to start if you're not that big a fan of the extreme kind of beers that Mikkeller is famous for.

Certainly nice, but it's not as interesting as many of the others from Mikkeller.

Another lovely IPA and as with most other of their beers, I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again.

A Christmas Porter from Mikkeller. Certainly one of the best porters I've had and I wouldn't mind drinking it again even though Porters still isn't my favorite.

We ended the day with a Mikkeller Black Hole - certainly a strong but happy ending :-)

Email policies at the White House...

Pretty amazing article about how email is handled there:

Steven McDevitt's written statements, placed on the public record at a congressional hearing, asserted that a study by White House technical staff in October 2005 turned up an estimated 1,000 days on which e-mail was missing.

And as if that weren't enough:

_Until mid-2005 the e-mail system had serious security flaws, in which "everyone" on the White House computer network had access to e-mail. McDevitt wrote that the "potential impact" of the security flaw was that there was no way to verify that retained data had not been modified.

It also sounds like it came as a surprise to them that a new email system would actually cost money to implement:

Payton told Waxman's committee she canceled the new system in late 2006 because it would have required modifications and additional spending. An alternative system is under way, she said.

Danish women

No wonder I can't find a girlfriend.

Beer: Ølfabrikken - Porter

Another day, another porter. This is a another really good Porter. I'm still not a big fan of porters, but this is pretty good. As with the Kaffeporter though, I would probably still prefer a good stout.

Beer: Ølfabrikken - Kaffeporter

I have never really liked the porter style of beers, but then again, I wasn't a big fan of stouts a couple of years ago, but that has certainly changed so maybe I'll end up really enjoying porters too. This one might be the start of this, though this being a coffee porter, I had hoped for stronger coffee taste. Still, this is certainly a good beer. Would I buy it again? Maybe, but I would most likely buy a good stout instead.

Beer: Brewpub København - Atlantic IPA

Resonably bitter aftertaste, but I'm not that impressed by this beer, don't think I'll be buying this again. I'll be looking for what else they offer - always looking for interesting beers :)

Frozen Grand Central

Pretty cool "stunt" - over 200 people freeze in place on cue in Grand Central Station in New York:

Beer: Nøgne Ø - #100

This is a very bitter beer, but I'm not sure whether I would buy it again though. I like bitter beers, but I don't particularly like the taste of this one. Still love the Imperial Stout and I have 2 in the fridge :)

Nøgne Ø - Saison

Another nice beer from the good Norwegian brewery. As they say though, I would probably enjoy it more a nice summer day. I did enjoy it today and I'm sure I would enjoy it even more if I find it somewhere sometime this summer.
