Hey HBF,
I am Knox, I used to work as a professional brewer back in Denmark before making the grand decision of going back to Uni to get my degree in Brewing & Distilling Science at SETU, Ireland.
My background is in Production Technology and Management and I ended up in beer by sheer coincidence as I took on a project for a small brewery and that sparked my interested. I finished my diploma at Denmark's second largest brewery 'Royal Unibrew' before finding myself a brewer position at Bryghuset Møn, a regional brewery. I stayed in that position for about 3 years before taking on my newest challenge, getting my honors. My aim is to open up a brewery, but that is at least a decade down the pipedream.

Other then my professional background and goals I volunteer every summer at a medieval living museum in Denmark as their local brewmaster. Here I brew interpretations of beer from the 1400-1500 to the best of my ability with the historical treaties I can find. I also used to homebrew back in Denmark and I hope to start again here in Ireland, but my SO told me politely that the apartment is a no homebrew zone... :( So I hope to find a homebrewer or homebrew club nearby who might have room for a jazzy Danish brewer to come by and make a few brews.

Oh! I am also on the American version of this forum where I primarily translated some Danish recipies from Danish to English. If anybody is interested I can share a link.

Looking forward to interacting with you all!

Best Regards,
Knox
 
Velkomst! Would definitely be interested to read more about some historical Danish recipes.

The National Homebrew Associaiton is the umbrella organisation for clubs in Ireland - https://www.nationalhomebrewclub.ie/

Think there's a few clubs in Dublin depending where in the city/county you are.
Hey YeastFace,

Thank you for the warm welcome, let me find that link for you. Here it is. There are more recipes and discussion on that thread. Plus the original creator of that thread also had some interesting material from an old household book.

Thank you for the link, I tried to look into the various chapters but I simply get an 404 error. Don't know if I need to be an member to get access to them or the website links are dead.
 
It looks like their next meet-up is tomorrow:
Location
Underdog

Date:
Thurs 29th August 2024

Start time:
7.00pm

All new members welcome

If you have some brews for tasting, bring along ~1 Litre of each.

To show some thanks to our hosts for allowing us to drink home-brewed beers in their pub, it is customary to buy some drinks from the house.

Oh! I will go there tomorrow and introduce myself. Thank you YeastFace! Much appreciated for the work you did there for me. :)
Welcome to the forum
Thank you Baron!
Hello and welcome, you hail from a wonderful part of the world, i think i mean i love Denmark
Heh, I hail from the southern islands which are beautifully empty, if that makes sense. But I must admit, I like Ireland more. I used to travel to Poland as a kid (and still do) to visit my family there and we would always do trips to mountains. Something Denmark heavily lacks. If anything, Denmark has the opposite to mountains, with most of the country being under the water level. Here in Ireland I can go hiking and enjoy some elevation. With Co. Kerry taking my breath away! Fell in love with it. Same thing with Wales, I loved Brecon Beacons, St. David and Aberystwyth. Absolutely beautiful places.

Any recommendation for hiking places on both isles are much appreciated, btw. I want to explore the country I moved to and it's neighbor :)
