There are many reasons for workers to strike, British Airways workers recently struck for pay and conditions, the English school I used to work went on strike because the management hadn’t paid us for two months, etc. etc. but…striking for beer? That’s a great one.

Apparently workers at Carslberg’s warehouse and factory in Denmark have gone on strike because the boss’s have taken away their beer coolers and the right to drink beer whenever they wanted throughout the day.

Now they’re only allowed to drink at lunchtime.

Previously they could drink at work but

could not be drunk at work. It was up to each and everyone to be responsible.

said the spokesman Jens Bekke.

Well, the workers didn’t seem to take to this new restriction very well and walked (staggered?) off the job on Wednesday and Thursday.
Not sure if the disputes been resolved yet, but Power to the People!


Any excuse for a John Lennon song. 笑

Related posts on MoIppai]]> As requested by Harvey, after my Style Free Lager reviews, I’ve bitten the bullet and tried the Kirin “Strong Seven” and Suntory’s “The Straight”.

Have to say I was quite surprised, not as bad as I thought they would be. My memories of extra strong lager like Helden Brau Super from my university days still give me a hangover. Like liquid treacle without the pleasantness.

Related posts on MoIppai]]> Recently I went to my local off license and discovered a very nice German beer called Kulmbacher Gold. The sell by date was running out so they were selling it for 99Yen (usually, imported beers like that are about 300Yen).

I bought one to try it, took it home, loved it – nice, crisp refreshing, corona style lager – and rushed back to the shop to buy a shed load more….they only had one left! doh!
