Scientist Niels Bohr had a never ending supply of beer... A simple pipeline from Carlsberg beer company to his home... Sweet...

Niels Bohr is considered to be one of the greatest scientists to ever live. The Danes adored him, during the short stint he was in Copenhagen. After clinching the Nobel Prize in 1922 for his investigations into an atom’s structure and early works on quantum mechanics, Bohr was to receive a gift hamper that many would salivate at the mere mention of. Carlsberg, one of the largest beer brewers in the world, gave him a house next to the brewery.Carlsberg-honors-Niels-Bohr

The house was furnished with many worldly possessions, but this was a different house from any other, the world over. Apparently, Carlsberg set up a beer pipeline from their brewery to Bohr’s house so he could get some free booze whenever he felt like it. One of the reasons for the move by the beer maker was perhaps their interest in things science as part of the company culture. In fact, they had a lab dedicated to better beer brewing.

The subsequent inebriated nights led to even greater discoveries by Bohr. With the help of Carlsberg and the Danish government, Bohr founded the Institute of Theoretical Physics in 1921. For the decade that was to follow, he worked with physics to lay the foundations of quantum mechanics principles.
