WEEK 21--BARLEY(is not) WINE--Eisbock(got no) ICE

一般人说到喝酒会觉得是在追求酒精。

特别是本身不喝的人，看到别人喝酒时会一副“唉。。喝酒不好“的表情。

本期就很浅白表面的说说两种高度酒精啤酒类别。虽说是高酒精度啤酒，一般程度还是不比烈酒那种。（虽然一些”疯狂“啤酒的酒精度也可以有过之而无不及之处）

一起尝味的撞意啤酒朋友中，有人特爱BARLEY WINE和EISBOCK，有的则不爱，也不太能受得起尝味之后的酒精作用

喝啤酒和吃东西是一样的，哪样比较合自己心意，就那样吧。

不过，对新朋友还是想说下，遇到这两种啤酒类别，记得要慢慢喝，和朋友分享喝。

Drinking beer is the same as eating, it's all about personal choices, some people like it thicker, some people like it lighter..

When it comes to "heavier" beers like Barley Wine( of course it is still 100% beer--despite the name having the "wine" word)--and also Eisbock---both are known for more intense taste, thicker body and higher abv(generally speaking).

Here in KL, the available choices for Barley Wine is a lot more than Eisbock.

Quotes:-
"the name barley wine came about with some history---that the Brits have to brew something high in alcohol to try and replace wine due to war with the French---also--that the word "wine" were used in those days to indicate High Alcohol"

"if you check both ratebeer.com or beeradvocate, the top 50 barley wine are mostly beers with more than 10% abv.."

"according to beeradvocate--there's English style & American style barley wine---but the deciding factors on final outcome of the beer depends on personal preference of a particular brewer--how thick, how intense, how much abv,,."

"If you are a believer/strict follower of "charts"---then you might like Aventinus which is rated as no.1 Eisbock on ratebeer.com"
