Let's see what else is in store in Neil's list of memorable beers:-
Don’t think they’ve made it out of Europe, maybe not even out of the UK. Another beer consumed on a trip home. Reminded me a lot of Shiga Kogen’s House IPA and given how much I love that beer, that must be a good thing. There’s now a whole host of breweries in the arches under the railway lines in Bermondsey, but I think I’ll stick with just Partizan and Kernel for the time being as I’m not really convinced by any of the others yet.
PARTIZAN是NEIL老家--英国的品牌，很可能只是在英国本土或最多一些其他欧洲城市能喝到，是KERNEL之外，NEIL在众多英国新晋撞意啤酒酿坊中的另一心水选择。
Another low alcohol/high flavour combination. Another London trip highlight. Nice and cheesy. I like that in a beer. Also like that in a cheese. Nice to see something other than an imperial stout in a barrel too. And Kernel are just always great.
属于低酒精度/口感丰富的佳酿，经过桶陈年处理，接近芝士味道。KERNEL的啤酒一直是上选。
India Brown Ale, and it definitely is brown rather than black. Tried this again recently and was blown away by it. Nihonkai Club beers are made at an isolated brewery in west Japan by a Czech brewer. His pilsner is also great. As is his Weizen. As are most things I try by him. If you can make Pilsners and Weizens that really stand out and that are totally memorable, then you must be doing a really good thing as there’s a hell of a lot of these styles being made in Japan.
日本海是一位捷克酿酒师的品牌，酒是在日本西部一家小型酿坊制作。让NEIL惊艳的是“印度棕啤”，而且这家的其他类型，特别德式风格淡啤更是出色。
Best beer name of the year. The beer was very nice too.
丹麦品牌的酸啤酒--好喝之外，NEIL选为年度最佳啤酒名称。
Westbrook - Bearded Farmers Hughey & Taylor
Two big bottles of Saison that I drank by myself at the very start of the year,
and I have been yearning for Westbrook beers since then. Nice to find a US
Saison that hasn’t thrown the whole herb and spice cabinet in. Subtle,
refreshing and delicious. Must try some more of their stuff when I have the
chance.美国酿坊的可口“凉茶”，非常爽口好喝，让NEIL念念不忘的瓶子
De Leite - Cuvee Soeur’ise/Cuvee Jeune Homme
My January trip to Belgium started badly when I realised on the train
that I had booked my hotel for the wrong week. It soon took an upturn when I
had these two great beers in Leuven. It was almost a year to the day that I had
my first De Leite beer, Cuvee Mam’zelle at Cafe Rose Red in Bruges. Belgian
beer is still my beer of choice, and that’s because of beers like these. They
are dignified, subtle, fascinating and delicious. NEIL今年初在比利时尝到的两支美味果香/果酸啤酒，让当时因为把订错酒店日期（人到了，可是酒店是订到下周！）而懊恼的旅程愉快起来。
I’m also really enjoying drinking
Yorocco beers, just wish that they would make it to Tokyo bars or shops, but
completely understand their ‘local beer’ slogan, and it gives me a reason to
take a trip out of town.
NEIL也喜欢位于神奈川逗子市的YOROCCO啤酒，并希望这家很当地的啤酒坊可以把啤酒输送到东京。
Fujizakura are still very nice and I’ve had some very
nice seasonal from them this year. And they are another brewery who always seem
to be available in Craft Beer bars. And Loco too. Haven’t liked everything I’ve
had, but have had some very pleasant surprises from them. Their Scottish Light
was really great.
另外,NEIL今年也尝味过好些富士桜高原麦酒的季节特酿，是他喜欢的日本酿坊之一。另一家是位于佐倉市的LOCO酿坊，特别是轻度苏格兰风格淡啤。
And, I am in the very fortunate position that possibly my
best beer of the year could be yet to come. I have a bottle or two of special
stuff stored at my parents’ house waiting for me to open soon after a 12 hour flight and have with my Christmas dinner. Very much looking
forward to that!
圣诞期间,NEIL会在英国老家，等着他的是“可能会是今年最美味的啤酒”---冰柜中有一两瓶特别啤酒等着圣诞晚餐开瓶！
ct's note:-
MERRY X'MAS to everyone---have some nice beers but don't Fxxx up your palate.....:) ....cheers.
