Day 2- Flensburger Brauerei part 1

Here is the Flensburger Brauerei. Eight different varieties of beer are made here: Pilsener, Gold, Dunkel (dark), Weizen (wheat), Radler (50/50 mix of Pilsener and a 7-up-type beverage), Malz, Frei (both alcohol-free beers), and Kellerbier (a new organic beer).
Behold some of the 5000 kilometers of pipe in the Flensburger Brauerei.
The Flensburger Brauerei is famous for the bugelverschluss, a hinged ceramic and rubber stopper that allows the beer to be opened and re-sealed. When opened, the bugelverschluss makes a distinctive "Plop" noise that is often featured in advertisements for Flensburger beers. The Flensburger Brauerei is the world's largest bottler using this type of bottle cap.
