Interesting read: https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/t...beer-for-winning-the-nobel-prize-2408041.html
I have heard that another famous award gives out specially cooked chicken dinners, but the winners don't know about it until they get there. Oh, damn... what's it called? Oh, yeah - the Pullet Surprise.
Seems he did get free beer from Carlsberg but the pipeline bit referenced in the OP article is likely fantasy https://beerena.com/the-myth-of-niels-bohr-s-beer-pipeline/1069/ “The story of Bohr’s beer tap is an urban myth or at best a joke of some of his contemporaries,” Dr. Christian Joas told Vinepair magazine, adding that he knows something about Niels Bohr. Namely, Joas is the director of the Niels Bohr Archives and an associate professor in the Department of Scientific Education at the University of Copenhagen. "In the 1930s, beer that passed through pipes of tens of meters or more would certainly have a bad taste, and we can say with certainty that such a pipeline did not exist, but it is true that Niels Bohr received a life annuity from Carlsberg Brewery in the form of kegs, bottles and crates of beer, which were delivered to him from 1932 until his death in 1962. "
That's pretty cool. I remember learning the Bohr model but I never knew he had a direct pipeline of beer to his house. It's too bad the article isn't longer.
Reminds me of the beer flowing under the streets of Bruge from De Halve Maan. Anyone who donated a large sum to the original crowdfunding campaign receives an 11-ounce bottle of Brugse Zot every day for the rest of their lives. https://www.trafalgar.com/real-word/bruges-beer-pipeline/
