TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:

Super clean Taiwan Beer. Interesting history of this beer. It was originally set up by Japanese during colonial rule. Then when that ended and the Japanese brewers left, Taiwan sent people to Germany to learn brewing, when the style shifted from heavy and malty to light and crisp lager style. 1/
