Nope. Not Carlsberg. The only Carlsberg I can get here is the stuff made here under
licence. It is not as good as the stuff from Denmark, but I can get Tuborg, Faxe and
Girafe. For some reason it is no more expensive than our domestic beer which now runs
about $1.50 per bottle. The Danish beer sells for about $2 per 500ml can, 25% more
cost for 30% more beer.

side.
