Copenhagen Beer Festival 2010

crayoncrisis — Sun, 29 May 2011 14:53:21 +0000

The Danish Beer Enthusiasts are the hosts of an excellent beer festival in Copenhagen. With around 70 exhibitors and a range of 700 beers, this is an excellent opportunity to taste som amazing craft beer. I didn’t get the chance to go this weekend, these are from the 10th Beer Festival last year.

Mikkeller 黑 is a wonderful imperial stout with a cool label. 黑 means black, in both Chinese and Japanese.

The poster and program cover is designed by illustrator Mads Berg. Talented guy, go check out his work!

The festival took place in the former Carlsberg Brewery.

Awesomest Mikkeller Bar was newly opened at the time.

Metro station typography with a font designed specifically for DSB by Kontrapunkt.

Behind the elephants. A street name referring to Carlsberg’s giant elephant statues.

…and then we flew to London for a KISS-concert on the way home.

Roskilde in July 2010 was my 7th year at this wonderful festival in Denmark. Lots of music and lots of beer, not so much photography. But here are som snapshots anyway.

The green alien is a Roskilde legend.

Dusty boots that once upon a time were new.

Budapest

Summer of 2006: After Warsaw and Kraków, the night train took us to the Hungarian capital. We saw lots of Budapest – like cobblestone & castle hill, the Danube, Széchenyi thermal bath and an Italian place (last image) with the totally awesomest pizza and largest dessert portions I have ever seen…

Kaleidoscopic Kraków

Summer of 2006: After Warsaw, we hopped on a train to venture further south in Poland.

Kraków has Europe’s largest medieval town square: Rynek Główny, and a lovely Old Town. More wandering around Wawel Castle and the Jewish Ghetto, one of Nazi Germany’s main ghettos during WW2. We had Polish ‘peasant grub’ at Chłopskie Jadło and stayed a night at Nathan’s Villa.

Relentless Reykjavik

I went to Iceland in June and took loads of pictures of signs and lettering. And then some more. But here are a couple of non-typo photos from Reykjavik and Iceland. Pøbel is a Norwegian street artist, that has also done some amazing work together with Dolk.

Tanned in Thailand

March 2009: 2 1/2 weeks at Hat Choeng Mon on Koh Samui and three days in Bangkok.

Ang Thong Marine National Park with kayaking, snorkelling and cool scenery!

The Emerald Sea is green from limestone, not from photoshop.

Testing the beach at Koh Pha-Ngan, the island hosting full moon parties. *waving back*

The sun is setting on Hat Bo Phut and the Fisherman’s Village.

I was on Thailand for three weeks, but didn’t really do all that much photographing. This trip had a different main focus, which is well documented on the two following photos.

Using up the nations supply of sun tan lotion…

Holiday reads were The Blood of Flowers by Anita Amirrezvani, Tett inntil dagene by Mustafa Can, Kineseren by Henning Mankell & the inspiring travel book by Torbjørn Færøvik Buddha’s Children – A Journey Among People. Færøvik is a wonderful storyteller who shares loads of facts about Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand and Burma. Not only does he manage to make you want to learn even more, he also makes you want to travel the world.

Chinatown in Bangkok, where we stayed at the amazingly cool Shanghai Mansion.

Bangkok is one of the few places in the world where nobody seems to mind if you set up a bar or restaurant on top of a skyskraper.

Cocktails at the Moon Bar at Vertigo with a jaw dropping view from the 61st floor. I really recommend doing this, but remember to dress up and leave the sandals behind for this.

Memorable Malaysia

After a couple of days in Singapore in October 2008, I took the train in to Malaysia.

I didn’t seem to get too many good photos from the two weeks I spent there. I guess I was too busy having a really good time at the amazingly relaxing Pulau Pangkor, as well as in Melaka and of course Kuala Lumpur — with spring rolls to die for at Sao Nam.

Welcoming Warsaw

Summer of 2006: I travelled around Eastern Europe on a short interrail. With only 2 weeks, 3 train rides and 4 cities, we called the trip a Minirail™. The first stop, flying in from Bergen due to lack of time and ridiculously cheap plane tickets, was Warsaw.

The Polish capital boasts scientist Marie Skłodowska-Curie, The Poster Museum at Wilanów and the best youth hostel I have ever stayed at: Okidoki Hostel.
