Global Warming Brews Up Ice-Cap Beer


My God. I must have some of this. I love the taste of impending doom.

A brewery in Greenland is producing beer using water melted from the ice cap of the vast Arctic island.

The brewers claim that the water is at least 2,000 years old and free of minerals and pollutants.

The first 66,000 litres of the new dark and pale
ales are on their way to the Danish market. The beer from Greenland – a semi-autonomous Danish territory – costs 37 kroner (?3.40; five euros) per half-litre bottle.

It is the first ever Inuit microbrewery – located in Narsaq, a hamlet 625km (390 miles) south of the Arctic Circle…

Beerme.com states there are only 2 breweries in Greenland. And one of those is planned as of 3/14/06.

I wonder…
