2014 Memorable Beer List--Final list by YINHAI(Beijing)

2014年最有印象酒单最后一篇来自北京的朋友，从玩自酿，到在北京开了卖进口和自酿的酒吧，人称“酒疯子”的银海。

这“清单”可能会让一些朋友觉得有点争议性--因为6个啤酒都是自家酒吧的，看起来难免有宣传味。。。

跟银海的对话是这样的：-
银海“我喜欢的都是自家啤酒，可以写吗？”
回答。。“不需要老王卖瓜，都是你个人喜欢的就算都只能在你的吧喝到也没错的。。”

就那样，反正CRAFT BEER崇尚自由发挥，是宣传还是分享，见仁见智，喝过的会知道。

The final list from Beijing may seems like a PR/Promo list to some, as all 6 beer mentioned were from one brew bar in Beijing, and the guy who wrote this, a well known "beer nut"amongst Beijing craft fraternity is the owner of the bar--YINHAI.

This is how it went when asked for his beer list:-
YINHAI"the beers i love are those only available in my brewpub--can i write?”
ME"well, there's nothing wrong if all those you really like are within your bar only..."

craft beer is all about exploring, sharing and freedom of expression---if you think this is just a list to promote own bar--then yes--so be it---but if you think it's really because he had tried so many beers from other brewers and last year only love his own beers--so be it too...

here's the list :-(original copy written in Mandarin by Yinhai)

SAISON IPA--American Hops, IBU45, Belgium style saison--a mix of old new world beer styles.

OYSTER STOUT--traditional English stout infused with French oyster--with obvious hint of oyster after taste, light toast light sweetness, aromatic.

生蚝世涛Oyster Stout，传统的英式世涛黑啤加入法国生蚝，回口有微弱但明显的生蚝的鲜香，烘焙味非常柔和，略回甜，花香四溢。

FRENCH DUBBEL--using Belgium Dubbel as base, added with yeast from a famous French wine yard--fruity, red in color, smooth, perfect combo of beer and wine.

法式双料French Dubbel，以一款经典的比利时双料为基底，但却采用法国著名葡萄酒酒庄的葡萄酒酵母发酵，带来奇特的果味，加之艳红的酒体，顺滑的口感，是啤酒和红酒的完美结合。

GERMAN STYLE KOLSCH--our most simple brew--with german malts, hops and yeast--clean, crisp, direct---having tried so many beer with different styles/play of style---this one always reminded me why people drink beer( in the very beginning).

德式淡啤Kolsch，我们自酿的一款最简单，但也是最经典的一款德式淡啤，德国麦芽，德国酒花，德国酵母，德国工艺，复原了这款我个人最喜欢的一种风格，清爽，干净，直接，喝过这么多各种花式的酒，这类的酒，总是不断让我想起，也让我总是理解，人类为什么开始会喝啤酒
