craft beer can be confusing/complicated to some newbies but if one were to spend some time & efforts then it can be quite simple, here's some observations:-
1) beer is NOT what most consumers think what it seems to be --that's a quite laughable stereotype--of course it's not true.
1）啤酒并不只是（绝大多数人以为的）啤酒那么简单，那是太片面太刻板的看法，而且有点可笑。
2) craft beer is the TRUE world of beer---but NOT all which label itself as craft beer is of high/higher quality--there are bad ones too---how to pick out the good ones from the bad ones/below average ones require some work--that's part of the fun of craft drinking.
2）真正美味啤酒世界是craft beer，但不是所有冠上craft beer称号的就一定是好酒，如何逐步提升眼界味蕾鉴赏力择优汰劣是啤迷功课也是乐趣之一。
3) BEER is NOT only about MACRO LAGER---varieties of beer styles/choices is what beer can be and should be.
3）啤酒当然不是只有大众认知中的大厂LAGER类型，多样化不同风味口感选择才是啤酒世界应有面貌。
4) One can find sour/sweet/bitter/spicy/umami in a beer--in fact much more than that.
4）酸甜苦辣鲜基础风味都能在啤酒中找到，当然还有更多其他风味等待新朋友去发现。
5) Beer is not about gulping down ice-cold one--in fact the proper way is to let a beer warm up after pouring to enble flavours opening up for better tasting experience.
5）啤酒肯定不只是冷冷大口牛饮单调无趣酒精饮料，实际上优质啤酒更多时候需要开瓶入杯後等待回温慢啜细品才能嚐出不同美味层次。
6) Finding out taste profile possibilities in a beer via brewing techniques/adding adjuncts/soak in used barrels is the primary motive of beer geeks.
6）对啤迷来说，喝啤酒最纯粹追求是探寻并尝试了解啤酒是如何通过酿造手法/添加食材/吸收其他酒类木桶精华等方式碰撞出不同美味层次。
7) In the big wide world of craft beer there will always be more than 1 beer which is bound to be your kind of beer--if you have yet to meet--you sure WILL.
7）要绝对相信，浩瀚啤海中一定会有适合不同口味要求的类型风格啤酒存在，还没碰到意味着迟早一定会遇到。
8) Don't ever say 'craft beer is nothing" after 1 or 2 try---always know this--the word of craft beer is much bigger/wider than imagined.
8）绝对不要因为第一次尝试但喝到不对味啤酒就断定craft beer不过尔尔。要记住，啤酒世界远比个人想象中更辽阔更有趣更美味。
9) Please understand that in the world of craft beer tasting--there is such a thing as palate appreciation level---meaning at times if you think a beer is not good or even bad---it could well be a case of not the beer--but drinker's palate is not up there yet to truly appreciate what that beer really is.
9）必须理解喝啤酒完全有味蕾鉴赏力高低这件事，意思是有时候不是酒不好，而是个人味蕾还没准备好接受新感知新冲击。
10) New to craft beer? can always start exploring like food--go with familair taste profile first--then slowly expand to more unfamiliar territory.
10）喝啤酒和吃东西一样，可以先从个人喜欢类型风格口味开始/入门，然后再慢慢探索其他较陌生口味类型。
11) Part of the fun of craft beer tasting is exploring different beer styles/taste profile--being open minded to go outside of comfort zone is necessary & a plus.
11）喝啤酒乐趣在于探索不同类型风格啤酒风味，放开自我设限尝试味蕾舒适区之外风味很多时候是必要的。
12) The reason/s why people drink beer can be same or very different---but " no drunk no home" like what was depicted in a movie scene is just a movie scene---it has nothing to do with craft beer tatsing.
12）喝啤酒动机可以有很不同，但“不醉无归借酒消愁”都只是电影烂桥段，跟真正慢啜细味啤酒美味层次完全没关系。
13) Need to repeat this again and again---NEVER drink on empty stomach--even when drinking what majority people think "just 'easy/harmless" beer'.
13）无论如何都绝对不要空肚子/空腹喝酒，就算是大众认知中觉得只是啤酒“的啤酒。
14) If you are new to the world of craft beer--then beer is not only about 5-6% abv---there are a lot of beers with much higher abv-->10% closer or even exceeding 20% is nothing new.
14）在craft beer世界，不同类型风格啤酒并不只有5-6度或以下酒精，而是有很多可以随时超过10度或20度的选择。
15）喝啤酒需要合适杯子（绝对不是冰冻结霜那种），拿着啤酒瓶直接怼嘴喝只是拍电影做样子（除非像Heady Topper那样鼓励直接从罐子喝），基本酒入杯才是正道。
16) BEST beer in the world---is there such a thing? some believe yes some not so sure--anyway this is a tricky question since no one can conclusively say so with absolute certainty.( of course not even RB or untp)
16）真有世界第一/世上最佳啤酒吗？不少人觉得有，但很难取得一致客观共识，更没有哪个权威个体可以说了算。
17) It's very likely when a beer is being touted as the best beer that it actually is a nice beer or an awesome one---end of the day it's all other's opinions---finding what's more suited to one's own taste is probably more important.
17）所谓世上第一/最佳啤酒很可能是顶级好酒，但基本都只是别人意见，不必太较真，找到合适自己口味的啤酒比较重要。
18) Beer is about actual drinking and tasting--only then one can have an idea of how beer A or beer B taste like--however also always remember that palate appreciattion level has an importnt role to play---because if someone can't even differentiate good from bad--then even if given the best beer in the world---he/she would not know what is what.
18）啤酒是不是对味/好喝只能自己嚐过才知一二，而且要看个人味蕾鉴赏力而定，意思是，如果不懂得欣赏，就算喝到世上数一数二好酒也可能觉得难喝或不知道喝了啥。
