I have had a few of those and will look for the others. I hope you did not come away with the thought that I actually liked Carlsberg... The article was aimed at making fun of the slogan. It has always struck me as funny, although I did not know it was that old a campaign. As for the comment of Carlsbergensis yeast, you are correct, but it seems these days the official designation for the yeast is the alternate "saccaromyces Uvarum" Why? I don't know...

I heard about it on Paul Harvey's noon newscast yesterday, and found some information online this evening. Just what the world needs--more macro-brew. Blue Moon and Killians are OK, though.
