The name CBA would have given many people a preconceived idea that it was a basketball hotspot, but it's actually an abbreviation for Craft Beer Alliance. At present, there are several organizations with the same name in China, and the ties between them are untidy and chaotic. The CBA Craft Brewery Beer House can be called "simple and crude" just by naming it.
CBA founder Wang Xinran has been in the Hangzhou red wine circle for many years, and the well-known local red wine winery "Dijiu Tianwei" is his single-handedly operated. Wang Xinran, who has tasted red wine all over the world, believes that the fun and flavor contained in craft beer are not inferior to red wine, so the CBA Craft Beer Alliance Beer House on General Road came into being.
The variety of good wines is the biggest selling point of CBA, and nearly 400 varieties of bottled beer are enough to dazzle many customers. Since the taste, bitterness, and aroma of different types vary greatly, it is important to pay attention to the order of light and then strong when tasting craft beer. We recommend that first-time brewers start with a bottle of Ballose pineapple sculptu, which is an American-style IPA (IPA has been mentioned many times in the article, see below for details). It has a golden color and a bright citrus aroma. The killing is moderate, with a strong fruity flavor in the mouth, and the bitterness is not obvious. It has a slight pine branch flavor and is very clean. The overall sense of hierarchy is clear, and the alcohol content of 7 degrees can also be accepted by most customers. Castel Red is a great beer for female drinkers, and it is produced in Belgium. This wine has a deep red body and very little foam. It smells of a strong cherry aroma, and there is no strong killing taste in the mouth, but instead it is slightly sour of the cherry. The back mouth is a little astringent. Just 8 degrees of alcohol can easily make people slightly drunk.
The interior of this brasserie has a nice vibe, with warm lighting for a cosy feel. The Loft-style layout is spread over two floors: the first floor is a bar counter and several sets of hard tables and chairs. The wine cabinet is not big, but it is full of all kinds of bottles of beer. The second floor is a booth, and three or five friends drink in the posture of "Ge You Lying", which is more comfortable. The staff at CBA are highly professional, and they recommend beer according to the customer's preferences and acceptance of alcohol, and having a good time and chatting is the biggest feeling of tasting sake at the restaurant.
Popular Science:
IPA is the most well-known craft beer style in China, so many people think that IPA is synonymous with craft beer, its full name is Idian Pale Ale (Indian Pale Ale), its origin can be traced back to the 17th century: at that time, the British army stationed in India needed to transport beer through the British mainland in order to understand the addiction and survival (mainly the latter), but the distance was far away and there was no refrigerator, so quality became the biggest problem. Finally, the British distillery succeeded in extending the preservation time of beer by increasing the alcohol content and adding a lot of hops to the traditional English pale beer (Pale Ale), and by fermenting for a long time to consume sugar. This beer, which has a strong hoppy aroma, is popular in India, but it is also limited to the local area. The IPA, which is popular all over the world, originated in the United States 30 years ago. Due to the defects of the hexagonal barley in the United States, its wheat aroma is relatively bland compared with that of the European two-sided barley; But North America also has its own advantageous raw material: hops. North American hops are unrestrained, rough, sharp, and many have unique aromas (partly due to the higher copper content of North American soils), which is a new world for IPAs that incorporate hops in abundance; In addition, Americans naturally love to create, so American IPAs of various flavors came into being. The impact is direct and intense, making the American Modern IPA one of the best introductory drinks for craft beer.
