Daniel Klusman is the genius behind this idea from across the Rhine. The computer consultant in his thirties, had the idea when he was studying in Finland.
‘It’s very well-known and popular in Finland. When I was at one of these events, there was about 4,000 people taking part and everyone was wearing the same thing: a jumpsuit. The different colours corresponded to what they were studying. For example, red was for sports students – I was very impressed,’ said Daniel.
To get this degree, you have to pay 5 euros to join and you can drink one glass for 2.50 euros minimum. One glass in a bar gets a stamp, when you have 10… congrats! You have a beer degree.
Are you even more ambitious? You’ll need to drink six beers, six shots in 12 different bars, and you’ll get your Doctorate, and can start being called a doctor… of beer!
Please drink responsibly
