If you're an entry-level drinker for craft brewing and don't want to go to a noisy beer aunt, head to Brew Bear.
Brew Bear is a chain of craft beer supermarkets that has a similar model to Beer Auntie, except that it doesn't have as many bottles as the latter, but focuses on draft beer — with nearly 30 heads in the store, it should be said that it can fully satisfy the taste of novice craft beer lovers.
Brew Bear's three stores are minimalist, American-style, with high ceilings that make them very spacious, and some have terraces. Smoking is allowed and there are restrooms, so don't take this lightly, as the demand for restrooms increases exponentially after a few beers, but many small bottle shops don't have toilets. The liquor license on the wall of Brew Bear is displayed on six electronic screens, with a blue background and lines of liquor information, which at first glance makes people think that it is stock information on the exchange, which is a very interesting detail. Brew Bear is available in tasting, 330ml, and 500ml sizes, making it especially friendly for novices who often want to drink more craft beers. However, the training of its waiters is insufficient, and when introducing wine and beating wine, it can be seen at a glance by senior wine lovers that he "does not understand wine", especially the store does not seem to pay attention to the common sense of "different wines with different wine glasses", and is not professional enough.
Brew Bear's liquor covers most of the mainstream craft beer brands, including international brands such as Brew Dog, Russell, Tule, Headland, Dimolan, and Creator, as well as domestic brands such as Mythology and Master Gao. Trappist and Abbey Ale, which is almost the most well-known craft beer in the world, is a no-brainer to come up with in the mouths of drinkers.
Trappist is a branch of Roman Catholicism that believes in ascetic teachings, and all monks are required to live and work in separate monasteries. In the modern era, the monks of the Trappist sect who lived in the barley-growing regions of Europe would brew some beer for their daily consumption – the safety and nutritional content of beer made it a daily drink for many people under the hygienic conditions of the time. The quality of the beer brewed by the monks is very high, and the monastery also sells the surplus beer to the society, and the income is used for its own operations and social charity, a rule that has been maintained to this day. Due to the large number of counterfeiters, it was later officially stipulated that only the wine produced by the six monasteries could be called Trappist (and then these monasteries also opened factories in various countries, but still adhered to the processes and regulations of the year), and the other monasteries could only produce Abbey Ale. At present, there are five that can often be seen in China: Chimay, Roosevelt, Westmalle, Orval, and Achel, among which Zhimei and Roosevelt are the most famous. Zhimei and Roosevelt's beer content is on the high side, the famous Roosevelt No. 10 reaches 12%, the freshly bottled Roosevelt has the sharpness of alcohol, but after being placed, it will quickly become soft, the sweetness of the hops is accompanied by the sweetness of spices, malt and fruits, and the sweetness can be described as "three days around the tongue". Wisdom, Roosevelt, and The Lost Abbey (an equally classic Abbey Ale brand) can be found at Brew Bear, so you might want to try them out for a while.
