little trouble in Big Tokyo

我最近在东京遇到一点点“麻烦事”

不是什么不好的事情。

是跟CRAFT BEER 有关。

简单说，有点不懂应该怎么选择才好。

去东京之前做了点功课，也谢谢TOKYO BEER DRINKER的BLOG，帮了不少忙。（有兴趣的请上去看看，已经在我的BLOG LIST）

去之前的计划是想要去5-6间看看。

去了的第一天，结果就计划赶不上变化，完全被第一家BAR的魔法冰箱迷住了。

到最后只是去了三家，单单第一家BAR就来回去了4次！

简单的总结，东京的CRAFT BEER选择比这里多很多，单单只是我很喜欢的第一家BAR的冰箱就有很多非常厉害的藏酒（大多数是美国大师级作品），而且这家还有很不错的啤酒是已经上了TAPS的。

我在东京的“麻烦事”只是解决了一小部分，因为那么多的佳酿，短短几天不可能试得完。

今天算是简单开个头，接下来的BLOG文比较详细的把赏味过的佳酿分享。

I was in Tokyo recently and faced with a little trouble.

Nope, not of the unpleasant or any Yakuza related kind, just craft beer related.

you see, I did a bit of home work prior to the trip to Tokyo looking for craft beer places.

and yes, thanks to the smaller world on the net, I found a very helpful blog Tokyo Beer Drinker which is listed now for everyone's reading pleasure.

so what was the little trouble i faced in Tokyo?

well, it was SELECTION problem.

imagined you are the manager of a football club and you walk into a dressing room full of players like Messi, Ronaldo, van Persie, Rooney, Falcao, Edison Cavani for a slot of two strike partnership...who do you choose? who to leave out?

there are many craft beer places in Tokyo, apart from those which concentrate on Japanese craft brews, I've basically singled out about 5 craft beer places in my "go visit" list.

But, right after my visit to the first bar, little trouble seem to have gotten much bigger----the reason? because the fridge that housed all the bottles in that particular bar is already way more than I could drink during my stay even if i go Everyday, and I would love to try most of them if not all...!!

I shall be writing in more details about beers tasted during the trip in following articles, for now, in summary, the 5 places i have listed as go visit were 
1.Craftheads, 
2.Goodbeer Faucets 
3.Devilcraft
4.Brasserie St.Bernardus 
5.Popeye (as well thought of going to Delirium cafe Tokyo)

In the end, I only went to 3 places, which are Craftheads, Goodbeer Faucets & Brasserie St.Bernardus.

Out of the 3 places, i ended up going 4 times to Craftheads，the reason? all the awesome bottles in that magic fridge! never mind they still have good ones on those taps.....

It really was a beautiful little trouble, which on hind sight, would never be solved with just a week or so time, in the end, the trouble was only partially solved...

More visit is needed.....

to be continued......
