Rust is a quite a nice club and venue in Copenhagen, or rather it was. There was a fire in the wardrobe a couple of months ago and it’s been closed ever since, forcing a lot of bands to either cancel or reschedule their tour dates.

They recently announced that rebuilding work was starting and the place would reopen in September, which is good news. Unfortunately they had the small problem of 1,200 litres of ‘useless’ alcohol taking up space in their basement. On Thursday lunchtime they declared it would all be given away free at a little gadefest (street party) outside.

The concept of ‘free beer’ quickly spread around the city and by 10pm there were around 2,000 people there, blocking up most of the area around Sankt Hans Torv. The free drinks went quickly and so did the supplies of several local kiosks - much to the delight of their owners (I witnessed one waving his hands in delight shouting “my fridge, my fridge, it’s empty”). A strange sight for a quiet, balmy Thursday evening.
