Next question they will ask is "Where's Denmark?"

It's where the beautiful women and the best beer in the world comes from.

That's the reason why we're holding it in Denmark.

wouldn't it be cool to actually be hosted by a cg character as gollum and a normal person? (gollum being on a big screen on the stage)

think of the possibilities people!
Think of the hilarious sketches it could result (gollum not wanting to open the envelope, becouse it was 'His precioussssss'

*giggles*

i think i am missing something here. the two beers that come to mind when i think of Denmark are Carlsberg and Tuborg. these are definitely good i don't think i would classify them as "the best beer in the world" but perhaps there are other brands?

*ahum*

i will try not to take offense..

Anyway.. best beer.. Belgium. Although, had I been able to go to Denmark I wouldn't have hesitated to go for the local flavour;)

But. No such luck:(

Any country that's big into beer will claim to be the homeland of it;)

'Tis funny how this thread has evolved from a "CG News" piece into a "Our Beer is Better Than Yours!" debate. Cool!


Isn't the 'homeland' of beer Egypt? It was either China or Egypt that started producing beer. Then Germany and England perfected it into the tasty beverage that it is today.

And Canada arguably make the best beer in the world- especially at the micro-brewery level:p

If you come to Denmark, you should try the Carlsberg Master Brew. The best of them all. 10% alc. sweet and smooth...

There is also an Carlsberg beer election on at the moment. You can vote for 4 candidates. My favorite is the Capo.


CHEERS :beer:






Best regards Morten

Its that man again...just ignore him! He roams the industry claiming to be the head of some SFX company. Don't look him in the eye and just back away slowly...

...I mean, c'mon! Would the real Jason Schleifer - a true celebrity - attend some back-alley get-together without body-guards?;)

the best beer in the world comes from wyoming: the snake river brewery. as for women, walk down the westheimer strip in houston tx on friday night and you will see the most beautiful women god ever created. hands down. i am sicean. i have spoken. this discussion is now over.

Everyone knows the Czech Republic brews the finest beer, hands down. Hey, why else would such a small country have the world's largest beer consumption annually? (Yes that is true, twice as much as Germany, which falls in 2nd place).

Drink up! :beer:

South Africa DOES have some gorgeous women... it's just that they all turn insane when it comes to relationships. (2 ex's and counting)

So tread with caution, those looks have a price...
