Do you want beer for life?

Become a Nobel Prize Winner! Niels Bohr (the man who refined the idea behind the atom) won a Nobel Peace Prize in 1922. He said that the Atom had a nucelus at the center of it, with electrons revolving around it. Carlsberg Brewery gifted the Physicist a house with a pipeline directly to the brewery, allowing the house access to their brew whenever they wanted it. Kind of cool, huh?

Free and maybe I could get away with selling some of it?

Is that cool? What if the physicist is like me who is an occasional drinker only? Maybe I can hold a party every night.

I was thinking that he could have made a profit by selling some of it. Now there would be laws against such a thing, but he might have been able to get away with it back then.

Well, maybe. But, maybe not. His work would have been very important and would have probably caused him to want to keep his sobriety.

He either won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry or Physics. He did not win a Peace prize.

Yes, I did some research on that myself and realized I was tacking on "peace" Un-necessarily. I've heard more about the Peace Prize than I have any of the others.

@Ladanger I would probably sell some of it, if I could get away with it.

There was a reason for that, Carlsberg had a passion for science. They had a laboratory that was the first to isolate the species of yeast used to brew pale lagers.

Yes, I read a little bit about that. I think they also had a Foundation that helped Niels Bohr create his own institution for furthering science.

@LadyDuck Yes, I am sure that his nobel prize was talk of the town when he first received it.

@ScribbledAdNauseum Yes, they were surely proud because he was born and lived in their same city.
