The last stop in a very long day of sight-seeing was to visit the Carlsberg Brewery. They had a really neat visitor's center where they talked about the history of Danish beer (which they date beginning in 1370 BC), working conditions through the years, as well as the process of beer making and how it has changed through the ages.
They had a bottle collection of beers from all over the world--thousands of different varieties!
Workers at the brewery were originally given food to eat during their 14-15 hour work day and were also provided with all the beer they could drink at work and two small kegs to bring home. I doubt that that practice is still in operation!!
They had about a dozen Jutland dray horses and various fancy wagons that they use in parades and such. They're really beautiful horses. Very powerful with lots of long hair.
I think that Jared really wanted this hat, but I had a feeling that he'd never wear it in the "real world"!
