Beer List 13/14--by Manu

It's the first day of 2014.

The beer list 2013/14 continues with yet another friend who has given his list of beers, this time from a Belgian  who is living in Kl since few years back.

新年第一天,2013/14尝味瓶子心得继续分享。这次邀请的朋友是在吉隆坡住了好几年的比利时人。也是本地少有的比利时啤酒进口商,MANU虽然本身很喜好比利时啤酒,生意也是跟这些瓶子有关。不过,对啤酒的喜爱超越了生意范畴,他的分享瓶子完全没有自家代理的比利时好瓶子。(也可能是避免卖花赞花香呗:)

Manu, a big Belgium beers lover and importer that brings in quite a number of nice bottles from his homeland into KL. While craft beer bottles is his business, his passion for beers is not limited to Belgium beers only, and certainly no mentioning of his imported bottles at all in his list for 2013/14.( not that the bottles are not good but maybe more of a personal and business interest separation here i guess)

There will also be no personal note from Manu on his list, so here we go:-
Boon Oude Geuze Mariage Parfait  (Its a Lambic, i know its old but i only had it in 2013 and it was awesome.)

#比利时酿法里面比较独特的自然果酸酿制啤酒。
Hitachino Nest Espresso Stout

#这来自日本茨城县的常陆野品牌咖啡黑啤

Jopen Meesterstuk 2012
#来自荷兰的黑麦啤,因为酿法没有把酒精收起,口感很快感觉到高度酒劲。

Harviestoun Ola Dubh (12 Year Old)
#苏格兰出名生产威士忌,这是用陈年威士忌桶浸泡的旧式酿法啤酒。
To Øl Black Maria
#丹麦的黑色玛丽亚是黑色IPA,丰富的口感不是只有微苦那么简单。
Revelation Cat - Dry Hop Thriller
#比较少有的,意大利酿制的美式干爽微苦口感淡啤
Mikkeller Beer Geek Brunch Weasel  
#丹麦魔术师酿制的“猫屎”咖啡黑啤
the Xmas Zinnebir 2013
#比利时酿酒师一个传统,会在每年圣诞节出限量版特酿,每年换所以每年的口感都不一样。

以上是MANU的赏味心得。值得一提的是,除了第一瓶,所有被提起的瓶子都能在本地找到,虽然是不定期出现,不过能找到。

So having mentioned all the beers above, which incidentally can all be found locally( except first bottle), what would be the beers that Manu like to taste for 2014?

The answers, not that many that comes to mind( at the time when asked), the bottles he misses would be :-

Dues Brut des Flandres( a champagne beer from Belgium)

Any others?
His answer:- not in particular but maybe any new bottles from brewers such as de la sanne, de struise, and also mikeller.


Next UP---another local guy give us his thoughts on beer list 13/14, Alvin from taps beer bar KL....stay tune.
