2017 MOST MEMORABLE LIST by Samuel(SG)

Today is  Boxing Day, few more days to go before we say goodbye to the year 2017--has it been a good one? so so one? not so good one in terms of craft-findings?  we all would have different encounters/discoveries whichever cities you might be in, as customary of this blog, let's look at some list from geeks/friends around Asia, starting with a list from Samuel from Singapore.

一年就快过去,是时候回望一下过去12个月遇到了/喝过了什么样的啤酒/蜜酒--这次打头阵的是来自新加坡的朋友SAMUEL。去年哥本哈根啤酒庆典认识的,今年他又去了,从酒单中可以看出几年再去丹麦的收获。
Samuel is an engineer by profession, never met him during my early days of going to SG for beer, but met in Copenhagen during 2016 MBCC beer week, with very few of us from KL & SG among the handful of geeks from Asia who ventured all the way to CPH just for beers, it was easy to get to know each other.

The list from Samuel showed a deep influence of being at MBCC this year--which he went again after last year--in a way also showing what those of us who did not make it to MBCC this year missed out on....
