Meeting Adam---First visit to Craftheads


我在东京发现了ADAM。

ADAM来自美国OREGON。(当然ADAM不是人,是瓶子。)

寻寻觅觅终于找到心目中第一家必须探索的东京CRAFT BEER BAR---Craftheads之后,踏入酒吧的时候有点像小孩子进到糖果店,虽然这家店的藏酒只是安静的在有点暗的吧台角落冰箱收着。不过,对于知道这些都是怎样的佳酿的有心人来说,这其实就是CRAFT BEER 爱好者的小小天堂。

第一次到访藏在繁忙涉谷中很安静的神南小区Craftheads, 我简直有点像到了图书馆那样,开始认真的查看当天的LIST,大概5分钟过后才决定喝什么。。

当晚喝到的佳酿:-
1)1) Stone's Sublimely Self Righteous Ale(Black IPA)
Ratebeer :-http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/stone-sublimely-self-righteous-ale/96858/
(这是ON TAPS的。。接下来2,3,4才是瓶子)
2) Adam--- by Hair of the Dog(Traditional Ale)
 Ratebeer:- http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/hair-of-the-dog-adam/568/
(个人最喜欢的瓶子。非常好喝)
3) Toxic Revolution---by Three Flyod(Stout)
Ratebeer:-  http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/three-floyds-toxic-revolution/204867/
  (虽然是ADAM之后才喝的,完全没有被压倒。)
4) Fred----by Hair of the Dog(Barley Wine)
Ratebeer:- http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/hair-of-the-dog-fred/570/
(应该说自己味觉已经有点疲惫,被前面三个酒盖住了,所以不能很公正的感觉到。当然FRED还是很不错的。)

能在Craftheads这样并不太大的BAR找到这么多美国“摇滚级” 的佳酿是有点难以置信的事情。当然最大的问题还是佳酿太多,几天时间肯定喝不完。不过,贪多嚼不烂,也不符合赏味佳酿的精神。

所以,就慢慢喝,这次没喝到的,下次再来喝过。

ABOUT Craftheads shibuya:-

I found Adam in Tokyo.

Adam is from Oregon, USA.( of course Adam is a bottle!)

Brewed by Hair of the Dog( what a name..), Adam is the first bottle(but second drink of the evening) on my first ever visit to Craftheads recently. 

Stumbling my way to find Craftheads unassumingly tucked in a quite corner in Jinnan area within busy and bustling Shibuya shopping district, i was both relieved and excited to have found this little craft heaven in big Tokyo. 

First 5 minutes at the bar was indeed a little bit "overwhelming" with all the magic potions in sight, chilled in two cold box just near the bar, waiting for those in the know to single them out....(what with some very good craft on taps too....)

For the record, that evening started with :-
1) Stone's Sublimely Self Righteous Ale(Black IPA)
Ratebeer :-http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/stone-sublimely-self-righteous-ale/96858/
personal note:- dark,malty,floral yet hoppy after taste.


AND then comes the bottles:-
2) Adam--- by Hair of the Dog(Traditional Ale)
 Ratebeer:- http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/hair-of-the-dog-adam/568/
personal note:- this is what i've written down about Adam right after drinking--" fxxkxxx good! beat the hell out of any hoppy after taste left from previous beer, a very pleasing beer".


3) Toxic Revolution---by Three Flyod(Stout)
Ratebeer:-  http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/three-floyds-toxic-revolution/204867/
personal note:--also written on the spot--"nice one--stand it's ground despite Adam lingers on"


The evening Ended with :-
4) Fred----by Hair of the Dog(Barley Wine)
Ratebeer:- http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/hair-of-the-dog-fred/570/
personal note:- written as " probably not doing justice to the beer because by now the taste bud and senses are not as fresh due to the 3 very good beers prior to this one" ( yes, in between the different beers a lot of cold water was consumed to freshen up the taste bud as much possible---however, by the 4th drink I supposed the body system kind of already surpassed optimum tasting point)


Looking back at the list above, it was indeed an awesome line up of beers to be consumed within one evening, to think that all these beers were all found in a not so big bar somewhere in Tokyo was both mind blowing as well as pleasing.( a hot bowl of delicious Ramen anyone..?)


But then, it was only the beginning of a few more evening with some more good ones along the way....

Will be writing some more about this very pleasant exploring trip in Tokyo craft jungle in the next few post....

Cheers。。。
