"Brew dog, five o'clock in the morning!"

"Wine dog, 100,000 volts!"

"Wine Dog, Leader!"

Stroking the bottle with his hand, he excitedly said: "Brewing Dog, a beer brand that originated in Scotland and is popular in the United Kingdom. Each model has won numerous international awards and the favor of consumers with its new, unique and strong style. ”

"There is a popular saying in craft brewing circles: If you don't like brewing dogs, you are not good punk!"

Picked up the wine bottle, pointed to a passage on the wine label, and translated: "This wine is very awesome, not the kind of low-end road goods." We don't care if you like it or not, and we don't just want to stand out from the crowd in those fading birds. ”

"I even doubt that your taste is good enough to appreciate the depth and excellence of this wine!"

"This wine is made from the freshest, highest-quality raw materials and is completely free of preservatives. If you don't care, then go back and drink your, watery lager, you're not welcome here. ”

"From Fleitsburgh, Scotland AB43 8UE – Wine Dog!"

Johnson was stunned, pretending to be so forced?

Zhang Hong laughed, slowly opened the bottle cap, leaned in front of Johnson, and said in a low voice: "Did you hear it?"

"When you open the bottle, you will have a strong hop aroma, but the entrance is bitter, and this bitterness will hit your taste buds the tip of the tongue, right?"

"Then in the middle you can feel a slight fruity aroma and a slight sourness, a little pungent in the throat, a stimulus of alcohol and some spicy taste......"

"The last aftertaste fills my mouth, and I dare to pat my chest and say: If I drink this one night, I don't need to drink anything else!"

looked at the other party's face full of enthusiasm, and sure enough, it was an enthusiast, and the gods were chattering. SC Johnson tasted it himself, and it was really interesting.

Thick tropical fruit and caramel notes on the palate, sweet and slightly sour, with a hint of bitterness in the middle and a thick and balanced taste.

I couldn't help but laugh and said: "It seems like five o'clock in the morning, I don't know if it's because of the five kinds of malt, or the early morning when you don't get drunk and don't return, at least you can really drink until you see the morning sun on the horizon in the morning." ”

"That's good!" Zhang Hong patted Johnson on the shoulder vigorously and agreed: "Isn't it a feeling of being hi?"

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the pleasure of the fellow people was this, turning on 100,000 volts, the wine was golden and slightly cloudy. The foam is delicate, rich and persistent, with a weak alcohol sensation.

The entrance is fruity, sweet and bitter, with a bitter taste of orange and lychee aroma in the aftertaste, accompanied by a little spicy. In Johnson's view, the characteristics are not obvious, the taste characteristics are not distinct, and the name is a little different, and there is no eye-catching impact.

As for the leader, the wine label is a bit distinctive, and the concave and convex feel is quite textured to hold. After entering the glass, the wine is golden and slightly cloudy, the foam is low, the fruity and wheat aromas are not obvious, and the aroma of hops is not very prominent.

In the mouth, there are aromas of lychee and tropical fruits, and the killing taste is strong, the sweetness of wheat is prominent, and the sour taste is obvious in the later stage......

Zhang Hong put down his wine glass and sighed: "The first time I came into contact with craft brewing, I learned that whether it is Heineken, Budweiser, Carlsberg, Yanjing, or Xuehua, they are all industrial goods. It's cheap, it's low-powered, it's not easy to get drunk, and it's refreshing to drink chilled. ”

"I'm sorry, I'm not targeting a certain brand, but everyone is garbage!"

"It's all light and has no aftertaste, not to mention the feeling of urine and beer after the temperature rises, so arguing about which one is better is a waste of time!"

"To use the simplest analogy, if there is a difference between 60 and 65 points between industrial lager beers, the corresponding difference between craft beer is 65 points and 99 points. ”

"Fruit, soft drinks, milk, coffee, honey and even chocolate, peppers, sour vinegar flavours...... There is no shortage of weird coffee in the world of craft brewing, there is no one who can't drink, only can't think of it!"

"You can't imagine the difference between style, taste, ingredients and alcohol in a beer. Once you try it, you don't have the motivation to tell whether it's a good beer or a Qingdao stick. ”

"Slowly get to know some craft beer lovers, and share them from time to time. In recent years, drinking craft beer has gradually become a fashionable and unusual hobby. I'll admit it's not as lofty or household name as wine or whiskey, but it's a parallel universe that you can step into at any time. ”

Zhang Hong touched the belly of the beer and said helplessly: "From blowing from a box to a small bottle and a can of slow products, leaving the limited liver for the best alcohol, and tens of thousands of styles of craft beer, is the original face of beer and the real wonderful world." ”

Johnson nodded, this is the legendary geek, obsessed, crazy focus on hobbies, why not for food?

"Craft beer isn't a deliberate act of pretending, to use a not-so-appropriate analogy, industrial beer, wine and whiskey are popular music with a wide audience and are well known. The craft beer is jazz hip-hop, more niche, free and casual. ”

"The best of wine and craft brewing is more like classical music, rigorous, beautiful, and every glass you drink, you will take time to learn because you want to taste it more deeply, and finally find the taste you like. ”

Johnson smiled: "So no one needs to look down on anyone, it is enough to please yourself, why despise it?"

"There are occasions where industrial beer really comes in. If it's in KTV, food stalls and parties, drinking craft beer will seem a bit tyrannical, right?"

"Pinting and blowing, it's really two different things!"

Zhang Hong raised his wine glass and said happily: "Incisive, let's go!"

Next, Zhang Hong began to talk about special conversations, such as what is hot in summer, drinking light-colored and low-alcohol beer, such as American lager or golden ale, which is refreshing and refreshing.

In spring and autumn, it is more suitable to drink a stronger beer or a fruity beer, mellow and warm, such as amber lager.

Bitter winter, pair with a dark, strong beer for a rich and solid flavour, such as Imperial Porter or American Stout.

What interests SC Johnson the most is that it can be paired with food in addition to pure drinks. Some of the top craft brews have appeared on the Michelin table and have become gastronomic companions like red wines.

Beer has a natural advantage over wine because it has a lot of bubbling to dilute the flavor of the food, but it's not easy to find the right pairing.

For example, barbecue belly steak VS Monk Roosevelt No. 10, one of the common wine, table and wine pairing principles is to match the wine and meat with the same attribute taste. Therefore, you can't go wrong with the combination of craft beer and Chinese food, and there are many possibilities for the same attribute, such as sweet with sweet, heavy with heavy mouth.

Zhang Hong said helplessly: "It's better to be in Beijing, there is a self-brewed beer association, with an annual fee of 200, and you can get discounts in more than 60 beer houses, and the masters are like clouds, a paradise for enthusiasts." ”

"In particular, the Cow Beer Hall is managed by Yin Hai, the founder of the association, and the temptation of hundreds of craft beers, and the 37 heads of the bar are the most in Beijing. The level of craft brewing and homebrewing is quite high, and there are often tasting activities, if you only go to one, you go to his house!"
