Nørrebro Bryghus

This afternoon, all of the international business students went on a field study to Nørrebro Bryghus, a craft beer brew house and restaurant in the Nørrebro district of Copenhagen. We met with the founder of the brew house and discussed the company’s beginnings, development and expansion, product innovation, and international pursuits. I always love to hear success stories of entrepreneurs who turn their passions into thriving careers. The lecture was both informative and inspiring. During our visit to the brew house we got to sample four of the company’s craft beers, one of which was brewed with fresh raspberries (and is my new favorite beer)! I left the field study feeling a little tipsy.

Also, I got my CPR number in the mail today! A CPR number is the Danish equivalent of a Social Security Number; it is a government-issued identification number issued to citizens and people with a Danish visa who will be living in Denmark for more than three months. My CPR card (“yellow card”) functions as my health insurance card and library card while I am in Denmark. The really cool thing about CPR numbers is that they are issued for life. If and when I come back to Denmark, I will still have the same number and card. Thus, I am officially registered as a card-carrying Dane. Not exactly citizenship, but still pretty cool!

I leave tomorrow morning for a three-day study tour to Jutland. More on my adventures when I return!

Love,
