     Gamle Carlsbergs Øl har alltid intresserat mig, icke blott genom sina utmärkta egenskaper som øl betraktadt utan kanske mäst såsom motorn till en stor del af Köpenhamns andliga framåtskridande.

     Old Carlsberg's Beer has always interested me, not only because of its excellent qualities as a beer but perhaps more so as the driving force behind a significant part of Copenhagen's intellectual progress.
