Craft is Art: November 2014

CRAFT BEER casual chat in 中文 and ENGLISH contact:- cttai@hotmail.com. Tuesday, November 25, 2014. WEEK 35- WHAT's in a name? 首先,要承认自己是BEER SNOB,也是GEEK。 SNOB是因为已经好几年不碰普通大厂啤酒,也有时候不喝一些自觉不是心目中那杯的“轻量级”酿品。(不是指LAGER或PALE ALE- -比较多是看酿酒师/品牌/产地). 说了这些,其实这一期写的只是玩笑性质,没有什么需要认真的。 无论是NEWBIE也好,SNOB.GEEK或NERD都好,重要的只是要欣赏好的作品。就像听歌那样,有那么多不同类别音乐,虽说每个人口味不一样,可总是会有一两种或以上是对味的。 喝CRAFT BEER- -讲究的是对味。 This is more of a jest than anything serious. As for nicknames- -it's just a play.nothing serious. NEXT WEEK- -craft in BKK. 这期来点...

CRAFT BEER casual chat in 中文 and ENGLISH contact:- cttai@hotmail.com. Sunday, January 25, 2015. WEEK 42- A few "craft-terms"(Part 2/2). Some say there's no such thing as "palate building"- beer is just beer- just drink- what so complicated about it? Of course some would say yes- there's a period of "palate building" for every newbie- that your taste bud/senses need some time( few months to a year or even longer.) to get use to/get around the different "stimulation" generated by different beer styles.

Craft is Art: recap---WEEK 49---Like Minded Sharing

CRAFT BEER casual chat in 中文 and ENGLISH contact:- cttai@hotmail.com. Thursday, July 16, 2015. Recap- -WEEK 49- -Like Minded Sharing. This is a backdated weekly column update- on the topic of sharing- which is nothing new to geeks who love to share- -for newbies this could be something worth exploring- and a much better way to move forward on the road to finding more better beers. 之前因为出游延迟了上载- 基本说的是分享:——. 逐步进入撞意啤酒世界的朋友会发现一件事,浩翰啤海,实在很深很宽阔。 圈子中也有品酒会,同好会,分享会这回事。 很多新朋友刚开始来到很多不同类别或不同酿坊啤酒选择的专卖吧或瓶子店时,表情几...

CRAFT BEER casual chat in 中文 and ENGLISH contact:- cttai@hotmail.com. Friday, February 27, 2015. The story of MACRO and Micro( part (2/2). Craft beer started essentially because someone long ago felt bored with whatever the big boys were supplying to the market.the lack of choices( or some would say taste) started the idea of home brew- micro brew. While at times there's simply too many different types/brand of craft beer- -the craft community just know for a fact that not all beer that is a micro brew o...

CRAFT BEER casual chat in 中文 and ENGLISH contact:- cttai@hotmail.com. Sunday, June 29, 2014. WEEK 13- -chit chat with TOBIAS- TO OL- PART 1/2. 本地能喝到的不只是TO OL不同类型瓶子,也不定期会以“鲜啤”姿态通过啤酒泵出现。 撇开被普遍视为MIKKELLER得意弟子的直观,TO OL的啤酒是有趣,好喝的。 最近在新加坡啤酒节喝到他们的春酿BLOSSOM,是低酒精易喝淡啤中有丰富口感的类别,非常可口。 通过酿酒师之一TOBIAS的言谈可以稍稍了解,酿酒,卖酒,出名这些事对TO OL并不会造成什么捆绑或负担。。对他们来说,酿自己喜欢喝的酒还是最主要的事。 KL is a sort of small desert when comes to craft beer choices. THIS is the chit chat ( part 1 of 2) with TOBIAS. The name can come up as an idea and then we f...

SAVING THE WORLD"- -1 year AFTER- from Rochefort 8 to FFF. 那时候PO了一瓶自己蛮喜欢的ROCHEFORT 8,写了开场白。 最初只想写个完全以中文为主的BLOG,因为每次去CRAFT BEER BAR 总是看到洋人饮客/朋友居多,就有点想 “拯救世界”的- 觉得是不是可以开一个随意聊撞意啤酒的中文BLOG,或许这样可以有点帮助到本地CRAFT BEER文化的散播。。 后来觉得,或许应该写点英文(文法不好也不管了),这样可以认识更多同好,也好让不懂中文的朋友/受访者了解到底有没有被乱写。。 东南亚撞意啤酒市场还在起步,大家都多点动起来,多些分享,多些喝好啤酒。。。 有人说“喝酒是有固打的,别浪费在无谓/难喝酒精饮料了”。 So obviously the plan of doing a 100% Chinese writing did not go to p...

WEEK 17- The Bad Boys from Aberdeen- part 1/2. 在撞意啤酒的世界中,有很多酿酒师都是因为同一个原因开始自酿,然后把小小的自酿发扬光大到很多不同城市去。 尽管很多人对“酿狗”(BREWDOG)有各种不同看法,有一个情况是不容置疑的,那就是他们不按牌理出招的方式很大程度上掀起了英国本土撞意啤酒界的变革。 熟悉'酿狗“故事的会知道这期说的其实都是一些”陈年旧事”,不过,作为了解一个品牌的起点,“温故知新”一下也不错。 下期有跟“酿狗”灵魂人物之一JAMES WATT的简短聊天记。 This is the story of 2 guys and a dog. Here's some QUOTES from the weekly column :-. THESE were some labels associated with them:-. 4) the hands that cha...

WEEK 22- "Naked Island"- chit chat with KJETIL. 8220;裸岛”是很多朋友都认识的北欧撞意啤酒品牌。 因为跟大马的渊源,主创酿酒师KJETIL来过吉隆坡几次,也有过“酿酒师见面会”活动。 作为北欧撞意啤酒其中一个佼佼者,KJETIL一点都不掩饰美国酿酒师们的“领先”地位。。。近年发展来说,某些程度上,他觉得“美国在领先,欧洲在追赶。。。而亚洲酿酒师有点不知道是要走哪个方向(是学美国那样豪迈?还是学欧洲的传统?)。 听起来有点争议性,不过,作为单纯喝酒人的话,酒来自哪里不是决定性因素,最重要合口味。 This week we talk to Kjetil Jikiun, the man standing tall on "naked island". Here's some QUOTES from the weekly column:-. Sayur Manis, Ika...
