2021 Most Memorable Beer List-----by Neil (Tokyo)


2021 has come & gone in a (covid disturbing) flash--pandemic or otherwise---geeks still seek out for nice taste in a beer or two--as usual this blog would always do a most memorable year list  as conclusion to a year of beer sampling---to kick start this time around is my "old beer buddy" from Tokyo---Neil been writing about beer scene in & beyond Tokyo for many years on his blog http://tokyobeerdrinker.blogspot.com/

HERE in his own words --Neil's thoughts about 2021 :- ( with Chinese transcript by me)

As 2021 was another year when international travel wasn't really happening, my list for the year is all Japanese stuff. Sure, we get alot of imports here and I enjoy them from time to time. However I am a big believer in the drink local concept, so naturally when I'm not travelling outside of Japan I'm going to be drinking a lot of Japanese stuff. The pandemic hit Japan, but not as hard as many places, and we were able to travel domestically at some times last year. I can't say that all of these beers have been sampled at the source, but maybe half of them have and I've had a lot of fun drinking them. I've split this into a few themes where a few beers get mentioned side by side if I think they make sense to be written about together

去年疫情影响下国际旅游成了泡影,NEIL去年酒单是“全日式”,虽然日本也有很多进口好啤酒,NEIL也有在喝但更相信喝在地酿造,虽说日本也受到疫情困扰但还是可以国内旅游,NEIL也到访一些日本酿坊品酒,酒单中至少有一半都是在酿坊喝到的。这次酒单NEIL通过风格分类方式聊聊去年喝到的一些在地好酒:-
