SIGHTING CBC2016--awesome beers & nice people

While waiting for the newspaper column about Copenhagen Beer Week publishing this coming Sunday....here's a little photo story of CBC 2016--just some random pics taken while strolling the hall with a glass in hand/or backpack...see if you are here:-

new venue--same excitement 
long line of people before 10am local time--but it's worth the little wait..ONCE inside--that's beer heaven opening up....
There's 2 session per day--so you basically have 4-5 hours to drink all you want if you only in for 1 session--10 hours if you are on PINK ticket( all session)
The question would always be--how do you plan your drinks? do you go with the flow as you walk, or have a list ready in hand and stick to it, or have a few drinking partners to share the load? ...
of course there's always those who came fully prepared--especially those who are very active user of ratebeer-untappd-beer advocates
there's not just beers--if you fancy a tattoo--you can get it right here, or if you need some food--coffee--even do some shopping--or simply sit and chill with old or new found friends--take a break from beers--that option is available

but if beer is all you need..so be it...there's just too many to choose from

More beers perhaps?
It's been 2 days full of awesome beers--and nice people around--if you love awesome beers, and nice people--maybe you should starts planning for some CBC awesomeness come next year.....

SELF-PLEASING 25K

clicked on the blog to look for an older post this morning and was a little surprised the page view meter read 25K and growing...

From the first posting in 19th October 2013, this "craft-talk" blog slowly became part of "self-pleasing" things in life--sometimes to think that a guy who basically lives in "CRAFT-DESERT" has been able to write for almost 3 years now is quite "bull shiting"...
Of course--25k organic growth is nothing if you were to notice those International Blog/Website which easily surpassed few millions or tens of millions page view/followers within weeks of opening.

是的,自己玩自己爽--点阅率过了25K其实跟人家网红随便就几百几千万是天地之间概念--这个自知之明还是有的。
不过,都说是自己爽,那就随手PO一个吧。反正之前过10K时写过一个--那也是14年底的事情了。
既然自己爽--就爽到底吧--上次10K时候刚好遇到曼谷“米吧”有THREE FLOYDS的占领啤酒泵活动--在曼谷喝到11个FFF的鲜啤--能不爽吗?
这次25K--怎么也要算上下个月8号开始的哥本哈根啤酒庆典--也要扯上在WARPIGS专门为HILLFARMSTEAD 举行的HILLFARMSTEAD DAY--更加要扯上CBC 2016那两天疯狂极致的美好啤酒飨宴。
Yes--writing this blog and creating/updating "craftbeer_art" FB has become a way of life--if anything--the only thing i don't understand is that--did Mark Zuckerberg not know that not many craft beer business would spend on advertising? so why keep asking me( the poor blogger who actually need crowd funding or sponsorship for multiple dream trips to US/EUROPE) to advertise with FB? I don't have a reason to advertise and i don't have the Budget   :)
Bull shit aside--i guess a little bit of "self-pleasing" is ok by noting that the last time when i posted a remark about Page View was back in October 2014--when the blog first hit passed 10K mark--that was celebrated with a Three Floyds tap takeover in Mikkeller BKK.
To hit 25K 3 weeks before Copenhagen Beer Week, Hillfarmstead Day and the main evenr---Copenhagen Beer Celebration is probably the biggest self-pleasing act i could pull off....:)

Cheers to all you beer geeks out there....
