My experience in the Copenhagen Beer Celebration (PARTE UNA) We back for an awesome weekend in Copenhagen and now is time to summarize how was the festival and why I think that is one of the best beer festival ever that I have been. Firstly, I freaked out when I see the amount of raters and people taking notes about beers. The smartphones and social media are hopping mad with all the check-ins and ratings. I've never seen something like this before but I have to say that is a positive thing. The venue Good location being pretty close from the main railway station of Copenhagen and close from the Warpigs bar and Fermentoren (where the party usually continues there after the festival) Probably not the most beautiful but was very practical and I didn't feel, despite some isolated cases, some burden. In fact, it had areas where you had a lot of space (like the Scandinavian bar zone). The unpredictable danish weather can be a problem if you are not prepared, and at some points, was really hot inside of the building. Probably, a better ventilation would be helpful. The queues Around 30 minutes of waiting to get the wristband and the glass. Once you get it, and if you are going to all sessions, the queues are much shorter when you are going to entry again for the next session. I have to say that before going to the festival the idea to be out two hour waiting for the next session seen stupid, but I think that was a good point to rest and have some food. I didn't do any queue and I could taste all the beers that I want, but expected beers like the "Dark Lord by 3 Floyds", some stuff of Hills Farmstead, Bokkereyder or Omnipollo, you had to make queue between 10 and 30 minutes. The glass In all the beer festivals that I have been in the UK, the glass is a pint glass here was around 8, 10cl and the guys usually fill your glass around 5cl. WHAT? Yes, just 5cl but I must say that is the perfect size if you really want to taste all the beers that are in your session. Even with this glass's size, taste all the beers are quite difficult but at least you can taste all of them and you can repeat if you want :-). Also were several points with fountains to clean your glass although the water was running out frequently, the staff used to change the corny quickly

My experience in the Copenhagen Beer Celebration (PARTE UNA)

We have recently returned from an awesome weekend in Copenhagen and now is time to summarize what the festival was like and why I think that is one of the best beer festivals that I have ever been to. Firstly, I freaked out when I saw the amount of raters and people taking notes about beers. The smartphones and social media were hopping mad with all the check-ins and ratings. I've never seen something like this before but I have to say that is a positive thing.

The venue

Good location being pretty close to the main railway station of Copenhagen and close to the Warpigs bar and Fermentoren (where the party usually continues after the festival)

Probably not the most beautiful but it was very practical and I didn't feel, despite some isolated cases, any burden/uncomfortable. In fact, it had areas where you had a lot of space (like the Scandinavian bar zone). The unpredictable Danish weather can be a problem if you are not prepared, and at some points it was really hot inside of the building. Better air conditioning would have been helpful.

The queues

Around 30 minutes of waiting to get the wristband and the glass. Once you get it, and if you are going to all sessions, the queues are much shorter when returning. I have to say that before going to the festival the idea to be waiting for two hours for the next session seemed stupid, but I think that it was a good point to rest and have some food.

I didn't have to queue and I could taste all the beers that I want, with the exception of beers like the "Dark Lord by 3 Floyds", some stuff by Hills Farmstead, Bokkereyder or Omnipollo, you had to queue between 10 and 30 minutes.

The glass

In all the beer festivals that I have been in the UK, the glass is a pint glass. Here it was around 8, 10cl and the guys usually filled your glass around 5cl. WHAT? Yes, just 5cl but I must say that this is the perfect size if you really want to taste all the beers that are in your session. Even with this glass's size, tasting all the beers is quite difficult but at least you can taste all of them and you can repeat if you want :-). Also were several areas with fountains to clean your glass although the water was running out frequently, the staff used to change the corny quickly


Grammar Notes 

1. Try to stick to one tense, don't write in the present when talking about the past ("I freaked out when I see" - "I freaked out when I saw")

2. To be close to

3. I understand that 'to make queue' is a direct translation of 'hacer cola,' but the correct translation is, ' to queue' or 'to queue up.' 


Good job, keep up the good work! :)
