CBC---Copenhagen Beer Craving---SIDE NOTES

CBC 2015 is over--yet memory still alive & kicking--this one is more of a personal note-- of beers tasted in Copenhagen--before, during CBC,.
去了哥本哈根出席CBC2015， 啤酒庆典是重点之余，几家酒吧当然也是要去要看的。。这期比较是个人的寻啤记录。写写找到什么，喝了什么之类的。。看图或看酒单就很清楚，就不多写中文版本了。

Looking at the little black book i was carrying through out the 2 days--4 sessions CBC--though tasted some awesome beers, but miss out on a lot more.... 

Before CBC-
Arriving on 28th April---the day when Mikkeller Viktoriagade was having THREE FLOYDS tap takeover-- simply no missing out on this one...

Dark Lord + Zombie Dust+ Dark Lord vanilla bean--talk about triple fisting

Warpigs brewpub is still spanking new in every sense of the words--lots of geeks who descended on Copenhagen end up here....

ALSO--A little bottle share session at Mikkeller bar(thanks Rob)

The day before CBC---found these two delights at Mikkeller and friends

Somehow ended CBC 2015 with a bottle found in Amsterdam which i shared with some new found friends---perhaps the name of the lost abbey beer is just a nice conclusion to a wonderful beer trip....Angels Share....

If were to count the number of beers tasted--it's really very little as compared to total available--but it's ok, for me CBC is not just about getting as much beers possible...and I really enjoy having coffee, cold brew, sausages and cheese in between chasing beers...

整体来说，喝到的佳酿不少，当然要是算数量的话就喝的不多，反正个人感觉良好就可以，那么多不同高手酿酒师的佳酿，如果胃口饱和了，勉强为了喝而喝反而是种不尊敬。
