When the truth comes to light: a turn in the history of the Danish brewery and its hidden face

by David Martín Rius
written by David Martín Rius

The long road to transparency: the story they did not want to tell

After months of silence and denials, Mikkeller, one of the most recognized breweries in Denmark, has left the closet of serious labor problems. What began as a series of serious accusations of harassment, intimidation and dangerous working conditions became a tense public recognition process and search for solutions.

From the shadows: the initial resistance and a key moment

It all started almost four years ago when Megan Stone, a former employee, raised his voice in San Diego. He tried to alert management on inappropriate behaviors in the work environment, only to meet closed doors and institutional silence. The situation seemed forgotten, until a few weeks ago, figures like Mikkel Borg Bjergsø, founder of the brand, decided to give statements that tried to minimize the crisis.

Change of tone: admission and transformation promises

On October 16, the official profile of the Brewery on social networks dressed in a new tone. Without surroundings, they admitted that in their facilities ‘serious problems’ had occurred, including harassment and sexist attitudes. They acknowledged that the culture in the place had not been adequate and assumed responsibility, promising that they were in a crusade for a genuine change.

The dance of meetings: dialogue or light show?

Despite those words, the attitude of management remained a roller coaster. Last week, the same challenging reaction of the founder generated doubts about whether they were really ready to listen. However, the address has taken concrete steps, such as hiring communication experts, to improve their relationship with old and new employees and show a more empathic position.

Who tells the truth? The bewilderment between the parties

For former employees like Megan Stone, who saw how the brewery failed them for years without response, official words still leave a bittersweet taste. The way in which dialogue invitations came, through messages, without even a previous conversation, it generates distrust. She insists that these meetings should be held in neutral places and in the presence of an expert mediator in labor and diversity issues.

The emotional weight of the story and what follows

Although the company tries to project an image of repentance and change, the wounds are still open. For Stone and other former employees, the stories they shared were a way to put an end to silence, but now they yearn for negotiations to be private and respectful, far from the cameras and a scenario that could trivialize their experiences.

What this story reveals goes beyond a simple labor crisis. It is a reminder that many times the repair and learning process is slow, and that the true transformation requires more than beautiful words in social networks. Only time will say if Mikkeller manages to transform that harmful culture into an example of authentic resilience and commitment to equality and respect.

What does beer and other fermented drinks in the Mediterranean diet give us? Surprises and recommendations!

by David Martín Rius
written by David Martín Rius

Sometimes, the history of food and traditional drinks is mixed with beliefs, myths and scientific discoveries that surprise. Today, we immerse ourselves in how a moderate consumption of fermented drinks can be part of a healthy and balanced lifestyle, from a more confident and casual perspective, without forgetting the importance of scientific evidence and popular culture.

A different look at the liquid tradition of the southern Mediterranean

The famous Pyramid of the Mediterranean diet not only bets on fruits, vegetables, olive oil and cereals, but also leaves a space – a well weighted one – for fermented drinks. This inclusion is not accidental, but has deep roots in traditional customs and knowledge that science now begins to validate.

The nutritional and cultural role of beer and wine on the table

Experts in nutrition and food culture note that, in controlled quantities, these drinks provide valuable compounds: group B vitamins, fiber, minerals such as calcium and magnesium, and a series of antioxidants. All this, without forgetting that in many cultures, beer and wine accompany celebrations, meetings and everyday moments with tradition and meaning.

Why does moderation matter so much?

What differentiates a glass of wine or a beer from a problem is mainly the dose. Science supports that responsible consumption – a cup a day for women and up to two for men – can be integrated into healthy lifestyle habits, as long as the beliefs and values ​​of each are respected and physical activities do not take off the road.

Science confirms what tradition has been saying centuries

Recent research, such as that led by Dr. Ramón Estruch in Barcelona, ​​show that those who moderately enjoy these drinks also adopt food patterns typical of the Mediterranean diet: more vegetables, fish, legumes and olive oil. In addition, they usually maintain active lifestyles and exercise regularly.

Mitifying the Breice Batter

One of the biggest fears is to gain weight with each drink. But research denies this idea: to consume beer in moderation, within the framework of healthy eating, not only does it not fat, but also avoid alterations in body composition and the abdominal perimeter, provided that it is accompanied by physical activity and an active way of life.

The perfect balance: drink well, live better

At the end of the day, the secret is to understand that these drinks can have a place on our dish – and in our lives – if we are responsible and conscious. The key lies in enjoying in moderation and complementing with a regular exercise routine and a food rich in the essential. The culture of moderation, the one that has accompanied us for centuries, continues to demonstrate its worth.

Love to the first mass! Secrets and flavors of a good homemade bread

by David Martín Rius
written by David Martín Rius

The art of transfiguring simple ingredients into perfect bread

Making a bread that raises any of your chair not only depends on the recipes that you follow to the letter, but also to understand how the magic of fermentation can transform basic ingredients into a masterpiece. From the exact proportions to the little secrets of yeast, each step is an act of love and science.

The yeast: the latent heart of your bread

What really is yeast? It is more than an ingredient, it is a living microorganism, known as Saccharomyces Cerevisiae, which has been the silent hero in the elaboration of bread, wine and beer for centuries. When we provide the proper combination of sugar and starch in the dough, this tiny creature begins to work, generating carbon dioxide bubbles that make bread inflate and have that light and spongy texture that we all love.

Living conditions for happy and productive yeast

What do you need to prosper yeast?

For the yeast to fulfill its role as mass sculptor, it requires a series of ideal conditions. First, food: flour and sugar are your favorite menu, providing essential nutrients for reproduction and fermentation. Then, moisture: without water, their pores remain sealed, preventing you from accessing your food. It also needs oxygen, which obtains from the air during kneading and fermentation, helping to breathe and multiply. Finally, the temperature is key: between 20 and 40 ° C, with a sweet point around 25 to 27 ° C for multiplication and more degrees for active fermentation.

The heat that activates its magic

At too high temperatures, yeast stops or dies, as is the case at 55 ° C or more. That is, fermentation is a delicate process, where heat and time must dance in harmony. The Zimasa enzyme inside converts glucose into alcohol and co₂, producing that feeling in the dough we call loyal, that airy texture that we all yearn for.

How to create the perfect condition for your yeast

Prepare the yeast correctly makes the difference. Dry and fresh yeast have their own activation rituals. Dry needs to be dissolved in warm water for five minutes and stirring it with patience. The fresh, meanwhile, crumbles in a bowl, mixes with water and beats to form a homogeneous paste. The water temperature, ideally around 37 ° C, must be moderate, because neither too hot nor cold will allow your little microbial friend to work enthusiastically.

Practical tips for an unleashed without surprises

To prepare the mixture, you can use a combination of cold and hot water to reach the perfect temperature. A useful trick is to use a thermometer to make sure the liquid is right in the activation range. Patience also helps: once activated, yeast should be allowed to stand for a few minutes until its size bubbles and double. This is the time to add it to the dry ingredients, and start the Leading party.

In short, understanding and caring for your yeast is like growing a friendship with great potential. With those little attention and a touch of attention in temperatures, you can create breads that fascinate those who have the pleasure of trying your work. The magic of fermentation is available to your hand, you just have to listen to nature and let the dough speak in silence.

Divorce without drama? Here we tell you how

by David Martín Rius
written by David Martín Rius

The rise of divorce and its brilliant resolution

In 2021, the statistics of the National Institute of Statistics (INE) surprise us with a 12.5% ​​increase in divorces in Spain. The striking thing is that the vast majority, an amazing 79%, decided to opt for a ‘divorce by mutual agreement’. But why has this approach become so popular among the spouses?

Why choose the path of understanding?

Divorce is not exactly the funniest experience in the world, but choosing to do it as a mutual agreement can transform it into a much less painful process. The dynamic here is to avoid stress and conflicts that often accompany a separation, turning what could be a battlefield in a nice negotiation between adults. And to complicate less things, there are already law firms that offer free forms, further facilitating the process.

A teleworking alternative

In addition, with the imminent evolution of technology, many offices allow to start this path in a telematic way. Imagine to start the divorce process without leaving home, in pajamas and with a cup of coffee in hand. No complaints, without fights. Only you, your partner and a form to join forces before separating.

The process: short, economical and friendly

In general, a divorce by mutual agreement tends to be more agile compared to contentious alternatives. While the latter can lengthen and add time and costs, friendly divorce is solved quickly. In fact, the INE indicates that in 2021, 68% of these procedures closed in less than three months.

Zero drama, only agreements

If there are children in the middle, this approach becomes even more attractive. By prioritizing respect and dialogue, agreements that minimize tension can be reached. A divorce does not have to be synonymous with crisis, but of new beginnings.

The economic factor: save and celebrate it

An aspect that many do not consider is that a divorce from mutual agreement can be significantly cheaper. By reducing deliberation time, costs are also reduced. From the possibility of processing it before a notary to more accessible rates by specialized offices, as with divorce. With prices that start at 150 euros per spouse, it is almost like a bargain. A real investment to close a chapter of your life!

Final reflections: a brighter future

So, although the path to affective separation is not easy, it can be more bearable. The tendency towards the divorces of mutual agreement shows us that communication and respect are key to closing cycles and opening new doors. Who knows? Perhaps a friendly divorce can be the beginning of a new chapter full of brilliant possibilities.

Catch your jug! What you didn’t know about Oktoberfest

by David Martín Rius
written by David Martín Rius

The birth of a beer tradition

The story of Oktoberfest dates back to 1810, when Prince Louis I of Baviera invited the entire population to celebrate his wedding with Princess Teresa of Saxony. For five days, joy reigned in the streets, promising ‘drink for everyone’. However, it was not until eight years after the beer made its premiere on this festive occasion, marking the beginning of a tradition that still endures, with only 24 interruptions in more than two centuries, mainly due to wars and epidemics. Every year, Munich becomes the mecca of beer lovers!

Only the best, but local

Consumer to taste: only local brands have the honor of filling the jugs in Oktoberfest. From the honorable augustintner, the oldest, to the newest and most global Paulaner, the attendees enjoy beers that go beyond the flavor, each making a special version known as Oktoberfestbier. With an alcoholic content superior to that of the usual beers, it is an invitation to responsible fun … If such a thing exists in this context.

The delicious gastronomy of the party

Hungry stomachs do not have to fear in the Oktoberfest. The show star, the weisswurst sausage, is well accompanied by its relative the roast chicken and the pretzel. And if yours is sweet, you should prepare for a sugary feast with target nuts and chocolate -bathed fruits skewers. Remember to leave some space for the temptations that are formed in each corner of the festival!

Reserve or risk your belly

If you want to ensure your seat at this beer festival, do not forget to make your reservation in advance. An unreserved table is like a forgotten beer jug: it leads to disappointment. Most of the time, a simple carelessness in this aspect can mean one day without beer, something that nobody wants to experience. If everything fails, the logistically challenging option is to queue early, between 6 and 7 in the morning, if you dare.

The magical opening moment

The mayor of Munich has the honorary task of officially opening the festival with a shout of ‘¡O’sapft is!’. This celebration begins after breaking the barrel in the Schottenhammel tent, starting the debauchery day where golden fluid flows and attendees enjoy the party. And here is a advice: the liter of gold can cost around 9 euros, so prepare!

An inclusive party

Contrary to what could be expected when talking about a beer festival, Oktoberfest is also a place where families can enjoy. Children are more than welcome, since the festive atmosphere is complemented by typical attractions, theater and music. The bright lights of the night add magic to the experience, turning this event into a celebration for all ages.

Be careful with your belongings

If there is a lesson to learn in Oktoberfest, it is the need to remain alert. The cheerful consumer can lose sight of his belongings between the crowd: passports, bags and even postpage dentures are objects that are usually lost between these festive walls. However, do not worry: the police usually find even some strange objects, from a Segway to a tombstone. Who needs that at a beer festival?

Oktoberfest around the world

Not only Munich is the queen of beer. Throughout the planet, different cities have adopted the tradition of Oktoberfest, such as Blumenau in Brazil, where a festival that rivals the famous Carnival is planted. But perhaps the biggest competitor is the Chinese city in Qingdao, with an Oktoberfest that expands the experience in 20 hectares. Who would say that the Bavarian spirit could feel that far.

Close the jug and throw yourself to the party

Whether you seek to drink beer in the company of friends, enjoy good dishes or simply lose you in the holiday bustle, the oktoberfest awaits you with open arms, full jugs and a smile. Be sure to be part of this event that, for more than 200 years, has united people from everywhere under the same motto: The joy of beer!
