Message VsXsV P beers 5000 º places 92 º 01:33 Mon 5/16/2016 Originally posted by VastActiv Has to complain about one thing: I heard some Danish beer guys talking about Scandinavian Bar and how there is not Finnish Breweries because organizers think that Finland is not part of Scandinavia! First of all that sounds very stupid and secondly I really hope that we will someday see Finnish brewery in CBC. Well, I don’t mean to be a dick, but Finland usually isn’t included in Scandinavia. Sure, it’s a Nordic country, but Scandinavia is just Sweden, Norway and Denmark.

Message cgarvieuk P beers 37692 º places 457 º 02:58 Mon 5/16/2016 Yeah , Definitly we (me and wife) both enjoyed it more, but struggling to work out why. Definitly there were less Impossibel queues, Other than Dark lord in session 4, and oddly Omnipollo seemed to be the one with a queue every session Liked the hall, but did think it was too crowded. Esp as there was a section sheeted off that some more could have been given over so moving through crowd was easier But the vibe just felt better and really enjoyed it. In hindsight turning up at 8am for a 10am opening was maybe a little overkill. But its always fun to hang with people. So really just added to the fun of teh day oh, and whoever VsXsV is with in that photo, is looking good

Give us 3-4 years more.

Scandia = Nor/Swe/Den Nordic = Scandia + Fin/Ice/Fae Some people (me included) would push for Nordic to include Estonia too.
Message rickgordon beers 3878 º places 41 º 10:19 Mon 5/16/2016 I wasn’t there but here are some pics http://www.pikore.com/tag/copenhagenbeercelebration2016 Originally posted by joet Loving all the pics coming back. If you have any please post here. What were the highlights for you? What aspects of the festival improved?

Message Inbreak beers 9959 º 02:50 Tue 5/17/2016 Originally posted by rlgk Better venue, less crowded even if there were more people attending. No beers were running out very fast, maybe since there were so many amazing breweries gathered. I hope they keep it like this for many years to come. :) AleSmith ran out of Hawaiian Speedway VERY fast, if they even had it? I didn’t see AleSmith run out of anything last year, and only that one this year. And quite a few beers ran out closer to the end of each session.
Message Inbreak beers 9959 º 02:52 Tue 5/17/2016 Originally posted by Theydon_Bois Queue for rare barrel ??? Go to the brewpub and quickly get bored of OK but overly acidic and samey 3.5/3.6 rated sours !!! Rare barrel and SARA very often had a long queue. Loved the acidity in most rare barrel beers, and to me rare barrel was in a league of their own compared to SARA and de Garde.
Message Inbreak beers 9959 º 03:06 Tue 5/17/2016 The main thing they should fix, is having the name of the breweries up in the air. At some stands you basically had to wait in line just to see what was in the front because of the crowd. The same thing at the check in, a simple sign above the entrance for pink and session. So little to make it all so much easier.
