Scandinavian needles and beer


Excellent half-pint of a collaboration beer made by Wylam (Newcastle) & Fuerst Wiacek (Berlin) called "Like Robots", a pokey 6.8% double dry-hopped IPA juice bomb, really nicely balanced with complex hop depth; drank overlooking a tattoo bar in Copenhagen. We spent a good hour gawping at some bloke having a tattoo done on his arm, wincing every five minutes as his legs (which were all we could really see) twitched in spasm as he was obviously being painfully jabbed with the tattoo needle. Eventually he came out with his arm wrapped in cling-film, he seemed happy with himself and after a couple of scoops of this beer I was quite happy too! Fortunately watching this prickly experience didn't put us off a hearty dinner at a restaurant nearby called øl & brød which means "beer and bread" in Danish - the food was fabulous, but the restaurant empty, which was surprising considering how good the food was (I suppose it was a Tuesday night?) Anyway, below is a shot of the starter we had, unfortunately I didn't take any more foodie-snaps the entire evening, that's how good it was!
