I’m not sure whether to weep or celebrate: beer from the melting ice-caps of Greenland.
The first-ever Inuit micro-brewery is at max production as orders are starting to come in from all over Europe for the new better-tasting beer that uses water from the melting ice-caps of the Arctic and Greenland.
It is claimed that the Greenland beer, officially launched in Copenhagen on Monday, has a softer, cleaner taste than other beers, because of the ice cap water.
I’m assuming we won’t be drinking this stuff in a few decades. We’ll either stop global warming or Greenland will melt away into the ocean.

when people are drinking this beer, will they realise that it’s thanks to global warming that we can enjoy such beverages!! – probably not, and that’s sad.
