Guess you should have been studying it instead of drinking it.

Jeez, if you are so smart, how come you didn't figure it out before? JEEZ.

I don't think i've ever seen a spoilt beer, i usually drink 'em long long before that ever happens

I hope that technology will be used here in denmark too, and that the cost savings will be reflected in the retail prices. Not that beer really is that expensive anyway. We pick up our danish beer in germany after it's been exported, to avoid the danish vat - and ironically also avoiding the german bottle deposit (since we can't be expected to bring the empty cans back).

"This means beer can be shipped quicker to retail and operation costs could be significantly reduced."

Give that woman a PhD in Beerology!

Who cares about the beer? Seriously. She took an interesting angle for her paper, did the research, and then chose to stick with a career that benefits everyone, not just alcoholics. Good for her.
