WEEK 16--BEERFEST 2014---some BEERS

三四天时间，400多种不同啤酒，扣除大厂啤酒，只是撞意啤酒也至少有一半以上不同类别选择，怎么喝才是？

这是在啤酒节面对的“幸福烦恼”。

三天下来，个人经验总结，喝的太少，完全不能全面客观的说喝过什么，有好多没提到的品牌啤酒都没喝到，与其说是今年新加坡啤酒节的啤酒介绍，更像是个人非常小量尝味报告。

明年啤酒节是不是应该要改变方式多点尝试小品牌，不那么盛名牌子啤酒？

This week we talk about some beers tasted during the 3 days at Beerfest Asia 2014. The beers mentioned in the weekly column were very much basing on personal taste.

The list is not a true reflection of the number of good beers available during the Beerfest as there were many other brewers beers that I did not mentioned nor tasted during the short 3 days period.

As per what's published in the weekly column, here's some of the beers tasted and mentioned:-

QOUTES:-

"Due to limited personal capacity, some beers that are available in KL from time to time, such as Hitachino Nest(Japan), Brewdog, Harviestoun(Scotland),Nogne(Norway), Mikkeller(Denmark), Rouge, Victory, Anderson Valley( USA) were deliberately skipped"

"De Molen(Holland) is a bit hard to come by here in KL, was a pleasant surprise to find  "hell & damnation" on tap---as well Blossom from TO OL(Denmark)---and low abv( 5.4%) "Punchline porter" from Magic Rock( UK).."

"Stone will be available in KL soon, selectively tasted "Smoked porter with chipotle peppers"  and "oaked arrogant bastard ale"

"Deschutes beers been made available here in KL, but not this limited edition "Mirror Mirror" barley wine---had a small sip courtesy of someone else's bottle( thanks bro)---to new friends who just started drinking craft---"handle with care" when faced with a barley wine though...."

"Lagunitas--lovely session beers---"Daytime" & "A little sumpin' sumpin'"----as for the newly introduced Heretic also from the US, tasted 2 porter---"Chocolate Hazelnut" & "Shallow Grave"--nice ones"

"it's been a long time coming that UK beers has got a reputation of being kind of dull--but this Beerfest showcase some interesting new brews from the UK...."

"Buxton's "Imperial Black Ipa" is very much comparable to the US brew's reputation of "heavy handed when using hops" , while the golden color "Axe Edge" ipa is plesant.."

"Beavertown---a bit of interesting back ground for rock music lovers---as the master brewer Logan Plant is celebrity in the UK with a even bigger name father( if you know LED ZEPPELIN--you would know who Robert Plant is)--as for the beers--"Gamma Ray" is a nice pale ale---the collaboration fruit beer"Rubus Maximus" with WILD BEER( also another new UK brew brand) is sour and refreshing,..."
