Beers: Aarhus Bryghus and Fur

Aarhus Bryghus - Stout 2008: A resonably okay stout.

Fur - IPA: They say the water up on this little island makes their beer something special. Their beers do have a characteristic taste - sadly not one I particularly like.

Beers...

A friend visited the other day and we had quite a few nice beers while playing GT5 Prologue + Ratchet & Clank on my PS3. I took pictures of most of the beers I think, though some of them wasn't really interesting or it was beers that I already had pics of.Anyway, here it goes in random order:

BrewDog Hardcore IPA: Haven't tried beers from this brewery before and they certainly aren't cheap either (small bottles - prices...not so small), but those we tasted were certainly good.

BrewDog Paradox Grain (Batch 007): Very nice Imperial Stout.

BrewDog Riptide: Another pretty good stout.

Orkney Dragonhead Stout: Not really that impressed by this beer.

Duelund Knark Imperial Stout III: First beer I've tasted from this brewery as well and this is a very decent Imperial Stout.

Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Märzen: A smoked beer. I've had this beer before and I like it, though it's not something you'd drink more than one of and forget about impressing any ladies afterwards :p

Mikkeller Monks Elixir: As usual, Mikkeller delivers! A fine tribute to the great trappist monks of Belgium!

Brewpub København Cole Porter: A good porter, though as usual, porters aren't my favorite.

Raasted Triple IPA: A very good IPA.

Beer: Ølfabrikken - Brown Ale

Another brown ale, this one is better than Nørrebro Bryghus.

Beer: Nørrebro Bryghus - King's County Brown

Not really that impressed by this beer, but I'm not that big a fan of brown ales either.

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 :)
