Amager Julebryg 2011Amager Bryghus
Brewed at Ørbæk Bryggeri
Kastrup, Denmark Style: Amber Ale | Ratings: 60 | Winter Seasonal | Alcohol: 6.8% Danish: Som faste læsere af Amager Julebrygs etiketter vil vide, hedder julemanden da slet ikke Nikolaus men derimod Kurt. Kurt som var gartnerimedhjælper ude på Tømmerupvej. Men Kurt blev skisme fyret i år. ”Efter for 33. år i træk at have haft en eksorbitant fraværskoefficient i det meste af december måned, ser vi os desværre nødsaget til dette træk”, stod der i fyresedlen. Det tog hårdt på Kurt. For Kurt knokler jo netop i december, men det forstod de ikke på Tømmerupvej.
Nu er Kurt blevet lagerforvalter her på Amager Bryghus – eller hipster-domptør, som vi kalder det. Vi fik ham med løntilskud. Han skal prøve at holde styr på alle de der Vesterbrotvillinger og pomadedrenge, som hele tiden kommer rendende i deres fancy sikkerhedssko, og som ikke er til at komme i snak med, fordi de hører Peter Bellis ”Istedgade” i loop på fuldt knald på i-pod’en. Det er sgu’ ikke let siger Kurt, men det går. For under pomaden og de trætte øjne er de alligevel flinke folk, mener Kurt.
En mandag vi mødte ind på bryghuset, havde Kurt søreme brygget sin egen øl. Han må ha’ luret os lidt over skulderen må han. Øllen er mild – akkurat som Kurt. Og så er den stærk – akkurat som Kurt. På Vesterbro siger, de at stærk nu om stunder hedder imperial. Så vi kan forstå, at Kurt har brygget en ”Imperial Mild”. En øl brygget af Kurt Julemand, den skal lige godt være vores juleøl i år, tænkte vi. Og sådan blev det.
Vi synes den er både rund og rar – akkurat som Kurt. Nyd den – og nyd julen. Kurt Julemand siger skål.
