Harboe Stout (#68) and Carlsberg Sort Guld (#69)

The last two Danish beers from Copenhagen trip turn out to be quite interesting. With just three more episodes to go I am starting to wonder how to bring this show to the next level. Any ideas? Meanwhile enjoy this episode.
PS. Sorry about the light setting.

Black Magic Woman (#59)

As announced last week I went to Copenhagen. A lovely city where more people ride bikes than drive cars. It's amazing. However, it's not the bikes that I am interested in. I wanted to try some Danish beers. So before taking the trip I asked Jan Johansen to give me some tips on where to find good Danish beer. He prepared a very long list of Danish beers that I might like.

I ended up going to a very cool beer store called Barley Wine. I talked with the owner - Jan Filipe - and he agreed to shoot an episode of Girl Likes Beer podcast in his store. We tried a very nice Danish stout - Black Magic Woman.
