This one was a real surprise, and reflects
what I have written above about tending towards more simple styles recently. I
was going to a new place to add it to my blog. It is one of the new trend of
lower priced locations which sometimes have less exciting beers. In the
interests of ticking, I ordered this but it completely blew me away. Maybe it
was the right beer at the right time but it tasted so refreshing, and so
delicious that I still think about how great it was a few months on. Need to
try it again, to see if it was a freak occurrence. But if this the outcome of
me gravitating towards simpler beers, I am delighted that's the way I am going.

New Glarus Strawberry Rhubard -http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/new-glarus-strawberry-rhubarb/221454/
At the Ratebeer Japan
gathering I had my first taste of a New Glarus beer, an apple lager if I
remember correctly. Recently one of my friends came back from a trip to the US
with this and it was amazing. I don't like Rhubarb, but this beer was
beautiful. Really fruity, but with a touch of sourness to keep it interesting.
I was disappointed to find that they don't sell their beer outside of
Wisconsin. Guess that means I should go to Wisconsin.
#Rhubard是中药有用到的“大黄”，气清香味苦微涩，配微酸甜的草莓，味道口感应该很有趣。
Mikkeller Nelson Sauvignon - http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/mikkeller-nelson-sauvignon/115037/
When we went to the original
Mikkeller bar in Copenhagen a few years ago, this was a real standout. Back in
London for my Summer holiday, I spotted it on the bottle menu at Cask in
Pimlico. To be honest, it was a bit of an extravagance. Before I left London I
think I would have had trouble with paying £25 for a 750ml bottle of beer, but
after living in Japan, it doesn't seem so expensive. It tasted different from
when we previously had it, but was still great and worth every penny. One for a
special occasion I guess.

Partizan Big Red Saison - http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/partizan-saison-big-red/206328/
My recent trips to London have been
dominated by starting drinking ridiculously early on a Saturday morning in a
railway arch (Kernel). On my last trip there were a couple of new breweries in
the same area for me to try. This was the highlight from Partizan (although
actually, thinking about it, I think I might have actually drunk it somewhere
else). In any case, Partizan are now a brewery that I am very interested in.
The other new brewery, Brew By Numbers didn't excite me so much. The Kernel was
as excellent as it has always been, and I will be going back there as many
times as possible on my next trip.
#LIST里面仅有的英国酿制SAISON啤酒。
I am including Zinnebir to represent all the beers
that I love that I have revisited this year. I am a Belgian beer lover at heart
and a Zinnebir was always one of the best things about going to Brussels. So in
this entry, Zinnebir stands for De Dolle's regular beers, the Cantillons on tap
at Moeder Lambic, all the great Kernel versions I have drunk and many many more
things too. Maybe I am getting old, but I am enjoying spending time with 'old
friends' much more recently.
#Zinnerbir是由比利时名师de la senne酿制。吉隆坡能找到包括同门的另外几瓶不同类型啤酒。
to be continued...Part 3 of 3 will be some thoughts from Neil about beer drinking in the coming months ahead...
