Curious facts
About Red Beer: Red Erik, a lager brewed by Ceres Bryggerierne from Denmark has this peculiar colour. Why? The true reason is uncertain. I have heard that it is a remembrance of some ancient beer recipes which employed hypericum (St. John's wort), whose infusions take a reddish hue when exposed to sunlight. If so, this fact must be lying in the mists of unconscious, for an explanation from the Ceres' customer services was rather more prosaic; according to this, it was a commercial reason: just because the public liked it red.
Other curious details heard are that it was originally tainted by using an artificial pigment, then the times of the fondness for 'the natural' came and consequently a period in which Red Erik lost its peculiar attribute ensued; eventually, it recovered this tanks to the use of wild berries extract which in addition to colour imparts an interesting bouquet.

Pubs with charm
Champion of the Thames: A small classic pub in Cambridge (UK), which seems to keep its original build from yesteryear and where you can taste some currently hard to find traditional ales served by romantic systems (hand pump and barrels with taps inserted), don't expect to find, however, one of those modern industrial pubs built for tourists with fake ancient-like decorations. Some interesting people among the regulars bring this place a savoury atmosphere.
An Irish pub in Seville: Interesting site to taste some types of Irish beers and whiskeys. It is curious that there are plenty of foreign customers--well, birds of the same feather flock together. Even if they are spending a mere week abroad on holidays!
