When I returned to Jiangnanli, I called Ding Mengyao and sent a few boxes of red wine. I was obsessed with Bordeaux winery recently and it suited me very well.

Before hanging up the phone, he asked casually: "Are there any good recommendations in Hangzhou?"

On the other side of the phone, he smiled and said, "Just kidding, do you still need the recommendation of a little girl?"

Johnson's face was full of dark lines, and Ding Mengyao seemed to remember something and said, "I am not professional in food, so I will make you laugh at it. But a friend built a bar in Hangzhou, which is quite unique."

Johnson curled his lips and said that the bars were everywhere. What's unique about it?

"Have you heard of craft beer?" Ding Mengyao seemed to see Johnson's disdainful expression through the phone, and cursed with a smile: "You have only been playing with wine for a few days, learn slowly!"

I hung up, sent the address on WeChat, and I drank a lot of beer, but I have never heard of craft beer.

I had a deep relationship with beer. After all, I used to be poor, and all I could drink was a cheap big bucket of beer. Drinking cold beer at street stalls in the hot summer is a rare luxury.

It happened to be at night, the driving destination, the bubble workshop, the bar is not big, and there are not many people, so it is indeed very niche.

I met the boss at the bar, Zhang Hong, who said he was Ding Mengyao's friend. The other party was very enthusiastic. I heard that I wanted to try craft beer, so I took out a few bottles and showed them in front of Johnson.

"With drinking, people will communicate with each other, and everyone will enhance their feelings through communication. I think this is what is called fate. Brewing wine is brewing fate between people."

Johnson looked at the unique wine bottle in front of him, smiled without saying a word, and started to show off as soon as he came up?

"As early as the 1970s, craft beer that was popular all over the world was brewing in a cultural movement against large-scale industrialization. It had experienced a 13-year ban in the United States since 1920. At that time, craft beer became popular and often took risks that both wine merchants and drinkers were willing to take risks."

Zhang Hong should have recommended crafts to customers a lot, quoted classics, and said endlessly: "Do you don't understand what crafts is?"

"The annual output is no more than 6 million barrels, and more intuitively, Yanjing's annual output is more than ten times that of this. The winery is not controlled by or less than 25% of the shares by non-craft breweries."

"There is at least one main product, or in more than 50% of sales, no auxiliary materials are used to make wine, or the auxiliary materials are used to increase flavor rather than reduce flavor."

"To put it bluntly, it is a small independent winery or beer house that cannot add large amounts of rice, corn, or even starch to reduce the flavor."

After saying that, he opened a bottle and poured it into a glass. The foam quickly spread out and explained: "Since you are Mengyao's friend, you should be a red wine player in normal times. In fact, the interesting thing about beer is that first of all, it is different from wine!"

"Wine is the grape juice that is directly fermented into alcohol, while rice, the main ingredient in beer, cannot be directly fermented into alcohol. It must be converted into alcohol after being crushed and steamed. It is a necessary process for the conversion from starch to sugar."

"So the alcohol content of craft beer is generally higher than that of industrial beer, but unlike industrial beer, its alcohol content also spans a lot, and some alcohol content is even higher than wine."

He raised the glass high and pointed it at the light, showing: "Put the beer in a clean wine glass to see from the naked eye to see if the color of the wine is clear and whether there is any disgusting and unpleasant turbid sediment."

“If you can smell the bright and pleasant aroma of beer, it is a good start for wine tasting.”

"Take a sip and feel whether the beer has a sour taste, except for some sour beers. There is no strange smell similar to rust spoilage. These may be due to expired beer or not treated with other contamination."

"Craft beer emphasizes personality more. Behind each bottle of craft beer, there is its own story and meaning given. Feeling the changes in taste with your heart will give people a different feeling of pleasure."

Johnson nodded, picked up the wine glass, took a deep breath, and could smell the fragrance of various fruits and the complex levels of caramel.

Zhang Hong smiled and said, "Try it, Aidinger White Beer, this is entry-level, with low alcohol content and light bitterness, so it is provided to friends who are just starting to try crafts."

"Edinger is the largest German beer in the world. Its wheat beer, also known as white beer, is a classic among the products of the Edinger family, and is also the best among wheat beer worldwide."

Johnson observed carefully that the wine was golden and turbid. It swayed gently and had a small amount of foam, which smelled like caramel, citrus and vanilla.

Commented: "The entrance is sweet and bitter, and the mouth is moderately damaged. After filtering, it feels more refreshing in the mouth. The malt is aftertaste, and the taste is soft and refreshing, just like the breeze blowing in summer."

Seeing that Johnson Johnson was also an expert, Zhang Hong said happily: "A bottle of 89 is not expensive. As long as new friends come, they will be recommended first, especially suitable for women."

"This is White Bear Beer, from Duwei Winery. The biggest feature is the bottle design and the back is marked with a special portrait close-up. Craft enthusiasts can upload their favorite photos on VEDETTA's official website, and use these photos as labels to print them on the bottle to make a unique bottle of White Bear, which is a magical tool for picking up girls."

"At least three friends around me use it to confess their love. Dozens of bottles are arranged in various shapes. What kind of flowers and roses are so weak!"

Johnson laughed and shaking gently, the foam was rich but not lasting. The wine was golden and slightly clear, and the aroma of orange peel was a little spicy.

"The killing taste is slightly higher, the bitter taste is light, and the fruity sour taste is. The jumping taste is a teenager's restless restlessness..."

Zhang Hong raised his thumbs up and was worthy of being a customer introduced by Ding Mengyao. He met with friends and had a few glasses of wine. He opened several bottles and said: "Bruges Golden Beer, a typical monastery beer, is characterized by the fact that the beer contains a mixture of Chinese herbal medicines."

"The second fermented Belgian golden ale in the bottle is more intense, with rich foam, but not long-lasting, and the wine is golden. Malt, mixed with fruity aroma, rich in aroma, moderate in taste, refreshing and smooth. It is also suitable for light lovers, but the overall taste is average."

"Potter wine was first brewed as an energy-supply beverage for porters who worked day and night in London's bustling market, with calluses on their hands, to pay tribute to them."

"This craft foam is rich, black wine; wheat fragrance, coffee, cocoa fragrance; smooth and delicate, plain, average, standard refreshing cold beer after physical labor..."

After a few bottles, Johnson touched the so-called craftsmanship, and his reviews became more and more accurate, quickly surpassing the entry-level level, which surprised Zhang Hong.

Take out a few bottles of craft wrapped in kraft paper from the wine cabinet, and carefully open it and said, "Give you some good things!"
