（本文是关于上一篇文章的中文注释，在此感谢我的中国朋友张显涛在完成过程中给予的帮助；同时也希望通过自己的努力，使更多的朋友真正理解和体会这些关于啤酒的文化和知识。） 我在北京这第一次与汉语媒体接触的经历可以说是喜忧参半。最近一期2010年6月的《智族》杂志有一篇关于啤酒特性的报导（包括北京一些供应啤酒观看世界杯比赛的场地的介绍）。针对啤酒还有我的博客的信息，杂志对我进行了采访，最终却仅仅是把采访我的话归为侧边栏的五条所谓“喝啤酒窍门”。唉，其中#2和#3包含重大的错误或遗漏，而#5则是一个错误的归因声明。在此，我尝试加以纠正。
(UPDATE July 1, 2010: Chinese translation now available here. Many thanks to my friend, Xiantao, for his assistance.) My first experience with Chinese language media here in Beijing has turned out to be a mixed bag. The current June 2010 issue of 《智族》(aka: GQ China) has a feature on beer (as well as venues serving beer and showing World Cup matches). I was interviewed for information about beer and about my blog, but what eventually got included into the article was a sidebar with me supposedly offering five “insider tips about drinking beer” (喝啤酒窍门). Alas, tips #2 and #3 contain significant errors or omissions, while #5 is a FALSELY ATTRIBUTED STATEMENT. Here is my attempt to set the record straight. Read more…
(UPDATE: City Weekend article here) (UPDATE 2: Beijing Today’s article, in PDF format. May 14 – 20, 2010 Issue, page 17) In late April, I was proud to showcase a few select beers for several invitees from the English-language media in Beijing. Amongst them were Annie Wei from Beijing Today, Gabriel Monroe from Agenda, and Greg Williams from City Weekend. We were also joined again by Jim Boyce and by Frank Siegel, who graciously hosted the event at the new Kerry Center location of Sequoia Cafe.
There were six beers featured, with three of them available in Beijing and the other three which I hand-carried back from the states:
(DISCLOSURE: I am currently a sales representative for DXCEL, the importers and distributors of Estrella Inedit and Rogue Dead Guy into mainland China.) I would be remiss not to mention a couple articles from earlier this year, covering the growing beer scene in Shanghai: Beer in China: Shanghai hops ahead of the (six) packShanghai Prime For A Premium “Beer Revolution”I don’t know if I personally agree with the comments that “the beer scene in Beijing is much better developed [than Shanghai]”, or that it’s necessarily a good thing for locals to ganbei (“bottoms up”) one bottle after another of a rich, heavy, high-alcohol imperial stout. But overall, some good signs for the future. |
