Beers, beatniks and a barbie

Warpigs Brewpub opening party
April 10, 15:00; Flæsketorvet 59, Cph V; warpigs.dk

Two acclaimed microbreweries – Mikkeller in Copenhagen and 3Floyds in Chicago – have joined forces to give out 1,000 litres of beer accompanied by a Texan-style smoky barbecue at the opening party of their new brewpub, Warpigs, in Kødbyen.
That’s a litre for each square metre of the building that houses the pub.

Some 22 taps will offer six house draughts alongside 15 experimental brews all produced on site. Warpigs has the capacity to smoke a tonne of meat every day.

A new analysis from the Workers’ Union’s Business Council suggests that internationals rarely join trade unions – but if they did, it would generate better industry standards.
