WEEK 223--BARS which have dissappeared
上期说起在哥本哈根啤酒庆典的三次啤酒天堂经历,其中一张照片是每次到必定会去不只一次的重点酒吧Himmeriget,不料就在专栏见报前一天收到啤迷朋友发来消息说这家酒吧I已无预警宣布结业,突如其来消息让人意外/惋惜,因为这是一家无论啤酒泵上选酒或只能店内开喝瓶子清单都会让啤迷感觉开心兴奋的“精品店”。

WEEK222--MBCC 2024--which i did not go....
MBCC 2024 was held mid of May this year--of course I was not there to participate--in fact it's been quite a long while since i last set foot in Copenhagen --since 2018 to be precise.
In 2020, there was a plan with 3 of the KL tasting group guys to go MBCC again--but as we all know the plan was put into an abrupt halt as Covid paused the world into various stages of lockdown. And somehow since then the urge to revisit MBCC has sort of died down among the few of us.
1) During Covid time--somehow some breweries which usually unavailable online for non-members (or those not staying in say USA) have "miracurously" appeared online and let geeks living in Asia a chance to try and buy something--also when master brewery like Cantillon also made occasional online sale(though it's still very hard to get a chance to buy a pack)--things has somehow changed for the better for geeks like us who live in KL where top notch selections are basically not available in the market. With the help of geek friends who managed to secure some long wanted bottles/cans--the need to fly out for beer has somehow reduced. It's true that when one can enjoy some really nice brew directly flown in from overseas with fellow geek friends locally--hence all the factors/costs involve when flying out for MBCC will become something to ponder.
3) Yes i did went to Copenhagen 3 times purely because of beer--2015 was my first trip--back then it was still being called CBC(Copenhagen Beer Celebration)--later on renamed as MBCC to better reflect who's running the show. Having been there 3 times--I was happy to have been there when Hill Farmstead took over entire Warpigs bar + outside additional taps for a never before( and perhaps never will be?) epic event--also was there when Bokke was still using the name Bokkereyder and did a really mini tap takeover at Koelschip & also joined the fest for the first time--both events happened in year 2016.
