Århus

I just returned from the small beerfestival Århus at Aarhus Bryghus. While not that big, it was quite cosy place with both the large Ceres brewery and the smaller regional breweries like Odder Bryghus and Raasted Bryghus. Also a nice touch to hold the festival in the middle of a real life microbrewery. Michael wrote a bit a bit about our stand and beers with some pictures as well. Have a look at his site.
