Niels Bohr would have approved of this. After all, he lived in a house which was linked to the Carlsberg brewery across town by his own private beer pipeline as well. The house -and lifetime supply of beer- was offered to him by the brewery after he won the Nobel prize in Physics: http://www.forbes.com/sites/alexknapp/2012/11/28/for-winning-the-nobel-prize-niels-bohr-got-a-house-with-free-beer/ http://www.forbes.com/sites/alexknapp/2012/11/28/for-winning...
- thret 12y agoThis is so cool, why haven't I heard it before? I'd expect to have seen it in an ad somewhere.
- walterbell 12y agoExcerpts of two comments on that article: "In the past, there were two big Breweries in Copenhagen. Carlsberg and Tuborg. Carlsberg supported the sciences and Tuborg supported the arts. So, if you were a well known scientist, Carlsberg gave you free beer and if you were a well known artist, Tuborg gave you free beer." --- "The house that Niels Bohr lived in was called the Carlsberg Honor Residence (Carlsbergs Æresbolig), and was the home of people deemed worthy from 1914 to 1995, of which Niels Bohr was the most well known (he lived there 1932 to 1965). Before Bohr it was the home of Danish philosopher Harald Høffding (he lived there 1914-1931), and after Bohr it was the home of the archaeologist Johannes Brøndsted (1963-1965), astronomer Bengt Strømgren (1967-1986), and professor in East-Asian languags Søren Egerod (1988-1995). Egerod was the last person to live there, and it is now the Carlsberg Academy."
