Assieme benchè diversissimi.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;57 è un caffè, talmente piccolo da non meritare altro nome se non quello della strada e del civico dove risiede. Bar sulla destra, tavolone unico condiviso sulla sinistra, pittura verde-bianca, lavagne: una per i cask, l'altra per i sandwich, l'altra ancora per le belghe in frigorifero. &lt;a href="http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/marble-pint/98719/"&gt;Marble Pint&lt;/a&gt; è lì a ricordarmi perchè bevo birra, 3.9 gradi di color oro saggiamente luppolato - separarsene è volersi male.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Marble Arch è invece il pub come lo immaginiamo letto in un libro: adiacente al birrificio, mosaici sul pavimento, bassorilievi lì dove finiscono le piastrelle alle pareti e iniziano le volte del soffitto, un fuoco, su uno sgabello un vecchio, forse immobile da anni, dietro il bancone lei, un po' brutta un po' antipatica, eppure con quel non so ché di affascinante. &lt;a href="http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/marble-manchester-bitter/16197/"&gt;Marble Bitter&lt;/a&gt;, in breve una Pint con meno luppolo ma più corpo e rotondità: tocca cenare con quella, quei formaggi inglesi di cui ho letto meraviglie a capodanno me li posso scordare.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.aplacecalledcommon.co.uk/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Common&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Bisogna convincersi di essere giovani abbastanza, poi entrare. Pare un edificio industriale nel quale in due giorni han costruito un bar e buttato due tavolini, due divani - al pubblico piace, forse anche per il denso calendario musicale a corredo, e alla fine anche a me convince. Spine trascurabili, ma bottiglie e cask scelti bene. La sorpresa è un piccolo birrificio locale, &lt;a href="http://redwillowbrewery.com/blog/"&gt;Red Willow&lt;/a&gt;, e una delle sue pale, &lt;a href="http://redwillowbrewery.com/blog/?page_id=1086"&gt;Wreckless&lt;/a&gt;: fruttato maturo e bello gonfio sopra un letto di malto masticabile ma non stucchevole.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://theangelmanchester.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;The Angel&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Stesso triste stradone di Marble Arch ma più verso il centro città, una casupola solitaria in mezzo ad un parcheggio sferzato dal vento. L'interno sarà meno bello delle foto contenute nel sito web, ma la batteria di handpumps e la cucina sapranno essere all'altezza dell'award Camra vinto nel 2010. Il pianoforte è all'ingresso e il camino con il fuoco al mio fianco, mentre &lt;a href="http://www.hawksheadbrewery.co.uk/more_info_extra.asp?current_id=80"&gt;Hawkshead Brodie's Prime&lt;/a&gt; scalda l'inverno senza ubriacarlo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.portstreetbeerhouse.co.uk/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Port Street Beer House&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;The big deal.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Un anno in questi giorni ma già sulla bocca di tutti, grazie ad un'offerta vasta e non meno curata. Ambiente moderno - come tende ad esserlo quello dei nuovi pub inglesi - e quindi alleggerito di orpelli, legno e luci senza per questo risultare freddo. Quindici, forse venti spine e sette cask, con&amp;nbsp;Magic Rock, Thornbridge e Dark Star sempre lì; se non bastasse, la parete di frigo sul retro saprà saziare ogni altra voglia esotica.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Bevuto forte ma non tanto da dimenticare cosa, ne scelgo una:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/marble-old-manchester/155102/" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Marble/Fuller's Old Manchester&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;. Malto ciccione, toffee e caramelloso, arancia candita e pepata che rivela la mano Fuller's, l'ossidazione amplifica anzichè togliere, l'alcol attacca ma ne vuoi ancora.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Chapeau!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2228474697059328308-2934604192940339277?l=hoppy-hour.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hoppy-hour.blogspot.com/feeds/2934604192940339277/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2228474697059328308&amp;postID=2934604192940339277' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2228474697059328308/posts/default/2934604192940339277'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2228474697059328308/posts/default/2934604192940339277'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hoppy-hour.blogspot.com/2012/01/leos-good-beer-guide-manchester-2012.html' title='Leo&apos;s Good Beer Guide, Manchester 2012'/><author><name>Leo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10420488724900024306</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zQcoI7Y2zRA/ThwAXdhpr9I/AAAAAAAAAzM/MOuMbsMY9Ps/s220/337303-huge.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2228474697059328308.post-6109412285411259570</id><published>2011-12-31T12:28:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2011-12-31T12:31:27.999+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Leo&apos;s Best'/><title type='text'>Leo's Best 2011</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Potrebbe essere il nome di una birra, invece è il &lt;a href="http://hoppy-hour.blogspot.com/2010/12/fine-dellanno-tempo-non-di-regali.html"&gt;puntuale esito&lt;/a&gt;

Cosa cambia? La birra non viene a contatto con l'ossigeno, eludendo rischi di ossidazione, e non viene sovracarbonata dalla CO2 che interviene invece direttamente all'interno di un fusto tradizionale. Non è tutto: il pub prescelto deve garantire consumi alti e costanti per poter esaurire il tank in meno di due settimane, nondimeno la pulizia delle linee di spillatura. Il sistema è adottato quasi esclusivamente da&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.pilsnerurquell.com/in"&gt;Pilsner Urquell&lt;/a&gt;,&amp;nbsp;ma&amp;nbsp;in modo meno diffuso anche da&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.krusovice.cz/"&gt;Krusovice&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.kozel.cz/"&gt;Velkopopovicki Kozel&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.staropramen.com/en/age-check"&gt;Staropramen&lt;/a&gt;. Logica conclusione, se volete assaggiare queste birre dovete puntare madre patria (un'eccezione è &lt;a href="http://www.svejk.se/"&gt;Soldaten Svejk&lt;/a&gt; a Stoccolma, che si fregia di essere l'unico al di fuori della Repubblica Ceca ad ottenere Urquell in occasioni speciali).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;***&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Quindi Praga, il giorno di Natale, perchè la misantropia verso i parenti in quel momento diventa spesso insostenibile. La città mancava inoltre da due anni, e il sapore di quella Urquell, la vera Urquell, era ancora conficcato lì nel palato: luppolo pepato, verde, grasso, un grande trionfo di malto sullo sfondo, piena, diligentemente amara, instancabile. Birra.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.uzlatehotygra.cz/uzlatehotygra.cz/Pivnice.html"&gt;U Zlatého Tygra&lt;/a&gt; è in centrissimo, ci sbatti la faccia e non hai scuse.&amp;nbsp;La mano è sulla maniglia della porta d'ingresso, mi trema un poco perchè so che appena entrato tutto diventerà difficilissimo, però chiudo gli occhi e via. Fumo, oste corrugato e perennemente di corsa, chiasso, tavolo libero sulla destra, MIO! Neanche faccio in tempo a tirare un sospiro ed asciugarmi la fronte che sbattono due mezzi litri sul tavolo.

Stesso attimo di timore reverenziale verso la porta d'ingresso e poi sei dentro: spazio vitale ridotto ad una ventina di metri quadri, volte al soffitto, un matto parla da solo e lancia caramelle, mentre dietro al banco un pornoattore teletrasportatosi dai settanta riempie bicchieri con una mano e fuma sigarette con quell'altra. Due sedie davanti ad un davanzale ci chiamano a gran voce, e senza batter ciglio arrivano puntuali due boccali - stavolta una Urquell forse meno profumata e meno amara, e comunque sempre una birra che da sola potrebbe accompagnarmi da quì alla bara.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2228474697059328308-135188070037538983?l=hoppy-hour.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hoppy-hour.blogspot.com/feeds/135188070037538983/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2228474697059328308&amp;postID=135188070037538983' title='3 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2228474697059328308/posts/default/135188070037538983'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2228474697059328308/posts/default/135188070037538983'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hoppy-hour.blogspot.com/2011/12/tankovna.html' title='Tankovna!'/><author><name>Leo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10420488724900024306</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zQcoI7Y2zRA/ThwAXdhpr9I/AAAAAAAAAzM/MOuMbsMY9Ps/s220/337303-huge.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2228474697059328308.post-5933567467834064121</id><published>2011-12-22T10:09:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2011-12-22T10:10:58.824+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Al bancone'/><title type='text'>Un nuovo Lambrate, diverso Lambrate, sempre Lambrate</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.birrificiolambrate.com/html/news.php?lang=%3C?%20echo($lang);%20?%3E"&gt;Via Golgi 60&lt;/a&gt;, non puoi sbagliare: un cubotto pennellato granata in mezzo a casermoni tozzi e grigiastri.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Lo hanno cercato da tempo questo secondo pub, da quando ormai l'affluenza in &lt;a href="http://www.birrificiolambrate.com/html/locale.php?lang=ita"&gt;via Adelchi&lt;/a&gt; era diventata insostenibile, sia per loro stessi che per tutto il vicinato.

Ambiente stretto e lungo e buio, che solo grazie ad una grande finestra in facciata guadagna quel poco di luce in più. Pavimento ligneo solcato da cicatrici profonde.

Non perchè non viva con la stessa costanza la birra, ma perchè &lt;a href="http://hoppy-hour.blogspot.com/search/label/Birrificio%20OM"&gt;un birrificio&lt;/a&gt; sta lentamente sgretolando ogni minuto libero. Sapevo Hoppy-Hour non avrebbe avuto vita longeva, ma confidavo comunque in un decesso dignitoso, all'apice della forma. Finchè durerà, sarà invece come guardare un vecchio marcio e consumato sputare le ultime parole con sempre minor forza e regolarità.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Alcuni flash sui bicchieri recenti e prossimi.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.birrificio.it/tacabanda2011.pdf"&gt;TACABANDA&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Ci torno sempre: ho lasciato numerosi ricordi e sono un nostalgico per natura, quindi niente obiezioni. Un plauso alla rinnovata scelta di allargare l'offerta birra ad altri produttori di zona, che in alcuni casi eclissano facile facile le ammiraglie di casa (vedi &lt;a href="http://www.bi-du.it/birre/birra.htm"&gt;Bi-Du Black Mamba&lt;/a&gt; - cocktail perfetto di malti e luppoli).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Schifo dell'anno: i buttafuori. Levatemeli dalla vista maledizione, non voglio avere un militare vestito in nero che mi scruta i tatuaggi mentre sono in fila per fare lo scontrino.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.birrificiolambrate.com/"&gt;LAMBRATE&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Tra pochi giorni chiudono per le canoniche ferie estive, quindi ho l'obbligo morale di passare a fare il pieno. Motivo in più, il fatto che la frenesia produttiva che li pervade da tempo ha toccato anche il faro &lt;a href="http://www.birrificiolambrate.com/0703/ita/pag/birre_montestella.htm"&gt;Montestella&lt;/a&gt;, che da Koelsch/Blonde/Golden salcazzo ha cambiato lievito diventando una bassa fermentazione: esce un po' di zolfo ma è comunque pulita, malto dolce e mieloso poi un amaro rognoso - manca però la zaffata di lievito fresco e quel sapore un po' grezzo tutto Lambrate. Dicono che ai clienti piace anche così, ma tanto chi di voi ha mai visto pinte avanzate lì al pub?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://gbbf.camra.org.uk/home"&gt;GBBF&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Un virus che ti entra dentro e non ti lascia più: tre anni di fila ormai, e la sensazione del festival al quale sai di non poter mancare. Spero di essere più cauto degli anni passati, per tentare di non finire a gambe all'aria dopo poco tempo: ho una lista di certezze (Thornbridge, Oakham, Crouch Vale, Fyne...), e un'altrà di novità del quale leggo un gran bene (All Gates, Blue Monkey, Otter...); in più mi porto Anna, alla quale delego la gestione del portafoglio e del mio celebre senso della misura.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Mentre scrivo, incoronano la Champion Beer Of Britain di quest'anno: &lt;a href="http://www.mightyoakbrewing.co.uk/mightyoakbeer.htm"&gt;Mighty Oak Oscar Wilde&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2228474697059328308-8973678675264947069?l=hoppy-hour.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hoppy-hour.blogspot.com/feeds/8973678675264947069/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2228474697059328308&amp;postID=8973678675264947069' title='3 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2228474697059328308/posts/default/8973678675264947069'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2228474697059328308/posts/default/8973678675264947069'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hoppy-hour.blogspot.com/2011/08/ultimi-singhiozzi-da-un-blog-in-fin-di.html' title='Ultimi singhiozzi da un blog in fin di vita'/><author><name>Leo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10420488724900024306</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zQcoI7Y2zRA/ThwAXdhpr9I/AAAAAAAAAzM/MOuMbsMY9Ps/s220/337303-huge.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2228474697059328308.post-1332950904122866229</id><published>2011-07-05T10:58:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-07-05T10:58:26.869+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Esperienze sensoriali'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rumors'/><title type='text'>Ho bevuto Poretti e non sono morto</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Ricevo una mail: contiene un invito per la presentazione della partnership tra &lt;a href="http://www.birrificioporetti.it/GetHome.pub_do"&gt;Birrificio Angelo Poretti&lt;/a&gt; e &lt;a href="http://www.alma.scuolacucina.it/"&gt;ALMA&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;, la firma è Carlsberg.

Luogo designato ad hoc è&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.carlsberg.it/drinkdifferentarea/"&gt;Drink Different Area&lt;/a&gt;, temporary shop allestito per due mesi all'interno di un ex-cinema in viale Monte Nero 55 a Milano.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;La cartella stampa è già di per sè esaustiva: il marchio Poretti che da tempo necessitava di svecchiamento, e che ora facendo leva sul forte legame col territorio si lega alla scuola internazionale di cucina italiana per abbracciare il nuovo rock'n'roll - l'abbinamento birra/cibo. Lasciando perdere talebanismi vari su quanto una birra industriale possa innaffiare dignitosamente un piatto gourmet, il punto è che il mondo tutto ha messo gli occhi da tempo sul fenomeno birra: se ne parla, a volte a sproposito (come il maitre di ALMA che ieri inciampava ostinatamente su colori, luppoli e profumi), ma se ne parla tanto e ovunque. Ovviamente ora sono loro gli spartiacque, grandi marchi con grandi forze economiche da dispiegare a destra e a manca - vedi Birra Moretti e Identità Golose - ma date tempo: in quanto italiani siamo dei poppanti in materia birraria ma non dei fessi riguardo al gusto a tutto tondo; arriverà il momento e il dovuto spazio per birre espressive, di nicchia, artigianali o come diavolo vogliate chiamarle.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;***&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Le birre, so che volete leggere solo quello. Le presentano con una scala: Spluegen 3 luppoli, Originale Chiara 4 luppoli, Bock Chiara 5 luppoli, Bock Rossa 5 luppoli. Il link istantaneo è stato con la scala del &lt;a href="http://www.birrificio.it/fscala.htm"&gt;Birrificio Italiano&lt;/a&gt;: un crescendo di complessità, intensità gustativa e talvolta alcolicità. La scelta infelice rimane scrivere luppolo e poi non dire quale sia, quanto sia e cosa sia, importantissimo quando per il consumatore medio potrebbe tranquillamente essere un mammifero.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Le note in foto sotto: per chi non riuscisse a decifrare le zampe di gallina, provi dopo una Elephant alla goccia, dovrebbe essere tutto più limpido.

Tutto a corredo e supporto di una cucina solida e capace, che fa della birra nel piatto il proprio punto di forza. Questo oggi così come ieri: gli si può forse imputare solo una mancanza di ricerca e rotazione per quanto riguarda le birre - ma sono cose che solo un pignolo entusiasta abituato molto bene può vedere.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Io da ieri alla Ratera ho deciso di non andarci più.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Perchè quanto scritto è purtroppo sporcato da un servizio disattento, superficiale, infantile. E per mettere a dura prova la mia pazienza bisogna impegnarsi strenuamente: una Tipopils che per essere spinata richiede venti minuti; una bottiglia che per arrivare al tavolo ne richiede incredibilmente altrettanti; quasi un'ora di attesa per un piatto di salumi, uno di formaggi e un'insalata di ceci; due giovani camerieri che corrono in lungo e in largo dimenticando puntualmente qualche pezzo. Un peccato: le penne di Gragnano con guanciale, cipolla di Tropea e ricotta salata erano disarmanti per semplicità e succulenza, ancor più buone quando innaffiate con una &lt;a href="http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/922/2948"&gt;Achel Blond&lt;/a&gt; mielosa, pepata, alcolica e prosciugante. E il petto d'anatra alla &lt;a href="http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/2304/21647"&gt;VùDù&lt;/a&gt; con fichi caramellati era abbondante, ricco, equilibrato e gordo, sfidato da un'altrettanto esuberante &lt;a href="http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/201/813/?ba=Jason"&gt;Del Dolle Oerbier&lt;/a&gt; a colpi di bacche rosse, astringenza, &lt;a href="http://www.luxardo.it/product.aspx?ID=777"&gt;Sangue Morlacco&lt;/a&gt; e bollicine.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Non so ancora dire se mi mancherà oppure meno.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2228474697059328308-2788811804848789079?l=hoppy-hour.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hoppy-hour.blogspot.com/feeds/2788811804848789079/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2228474697059328308&amp;postID=2788811804848789079' title='4 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2228474697059328308/posts/default/2788811804848789079'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2228474697059328308/posts/default/2788811804848789079'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hoppy-hour.blogspot.com/2011/06/la-ratera-un-ricordo.html' title='La Ratera, un ricordo'/><author><name>Leo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10420488724900024306</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zQcoI7Y2zRA/ThwAXdhpr9I/AAAAAAAAAzM/MOuMbsMY9Ps/s220/337303-huge.jpg'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2228474697059328308.post-3064057382931250119</id><published>2011-06-21T14:28:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-06-21T14:28:55.820+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Al bancone'/><title type='text'>Il maestro e il discepolo</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Non vado spesso da &lt;a href="http://www.brasseriebruxelles.eu/bb/"&gt;Brasserie Bruxelles&lt;/a&gt; per due ragioni: sono fortunato ad avere valide alternative a pochi passi da casa, e per quanto possa essere vaga affermazione il Belgio non è mai la mia prima scelta birraria. Belgio che nomen omen lì è di casa, dominatore incontrastato di sei spine di facile approccio e tre frigoriferi colmi di goloserie che spaziano da Trappista a Gueuze, da flemish red a De Dolle: tutte trattate con ossequio, intelligenza e maniacalità della spillatura.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Questa settimana la Brasserie offre a tutti noi incontentabili beer hunters un motivo in più per andarci, anzi tre: &lt;a href="http://www.brasserie-dupont.com/dupont/Default.aspx?Page=saison"&gt;Saison Dupont&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.extraomnes.com/saison.aspx"&gt;Extraomnes Saison&lt;/a&gt; e &lt;a href="http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/739/58235"&gt;De Ranke Saison De Dottignies&lt;/a&gt; ad alternarsi in spina. Le prime due ieri sera fianco a fianco, maestro e discepolo che per una volta si scambiano i ruoli: perchè quella Dupont è lei, pulita e precisissima, ma quella Extraomnes ti prende il naso e lo ribalta, freschissima di luppoli erbacei e lieviti speziati, secca secca amara amara.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Al tavolo, il discepolo Schigi e l'altro maestro: Kuaska. Tra una saison e una Gueuze, tu taci e ascolteresti per sempre con la faccia ebete, perchè non è il Kuaska con il microfono ma l'uomo sole-cuore-amore. Scorrono ore e scorrono storie: la Saison Dupont che in spina non esiste, la centenaria genovese che sviene dopo un limoncello, il birraio belga di duemetriezerocinque che deve arrampicarsi con la fune per raggiungere il suo letto.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Prima di addormentarmi so di essere ebbro, per una volta non di alcol ma di parole.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2228474697059328308-3064057382931250119?l=hoppy-hour.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hoppy-hour.blogspot.com/feeds/3064057382931250119/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2228474697059328308&amp;postID=3064057382931250119' title='6 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2228474697059328308/posts/default/3064057382931250119'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2228474697059328308/posts/default/3064057382931250119'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hoppy-hour.blogspot.com/2011/06/il-maestro-e-il-discepolo.html' title='Il maestro e il discepolo'/><author><name>Leo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10420488724900024306</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zQcoI7Y2zRA/ThwAXdhpr9I/AAAAAAAAAzM/MOuMbsMY9Ps/s220/337303-huge.jpg'/></author><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2228474697059328308.post-519222078920519634</id><published>2011-06-07T10:01:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-06-07T10:01:01.915+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Al bancone'/><title type='text'>Mikkeller Bar</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Già prevedo qualche possibile commento...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Mikkeller e le birre mattone.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Mikkeller non fa due volte la stessa birra.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Mikkeller non ha l'impianto.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Mikkeller e le single hop.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Mikkeller e le single yeast.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Mikkeller è danese.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;***&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Mikkeller da un anno è anche un &lt;a href="http://www.mikkeller.dk/index.php?id=9&amp;amp;land=1"&gt;bar&lt;/a&gt;, a Vesterbro - più o meno centro di Copenhagen date le dimensioni dell'intera città. Un basement del quale dire cinquanta metri quadri è forse esagerare, arredato con rigore scandinavo: pochi minuscoli tavoli, una sedia diversa dall'altra, colori chiari alle pareti, qualche lampada in fin di vita che pende dal soffitto quì e lì. Al centro, un cubotto sgabellato vorrebbe essere un bancone, lo capisci quando l'occhio casca sul retro, dove svettano venti spine venti: il padrone di casa ne riempie circa una dozzina, lasciando le restanti a qualche amico (De Molen, Three Floyds), grande classico (Rodenbach Grand Cru, Saison Dupont), exploit (Struise Aardmonnik, Cantillon Lou Pepe Kriek).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Inizio locale, dando una chance a Vesterbro Wit. Diciamo che sta ad una witbier come le vongole stanno ai mammiferi, però piace: agrumato lungo e succoso che lascia via via spazio ad uno sbruffo di speziatura e ad un dolcino finale che resetta il palato. Attorno a me: uno yankee beve Cantillon perchè in US non può permettersela, una ragazza solitaria viaggia a 0,4l di Black Hole, Martin Dickie legge un libro in un angolo.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;E' Danimarca e costa cara, specialmente se vi dovesse cadere l'occhio sulla &lt;a href="http://www.mikkeller.dk/index.php?id=91&amp;amp;bar_id=3&amp;amp;land=1"&gt;lista delle bottiglie&lt;/a&gt; in cantina.

C'è una sala allestita per l'occasione: ambientazione est-europea, un quartetto jazz di sottofondo, e Pilsner Urquell a fiumi - quella vera, non filtrata, in botte, che puoi trovare solo a Plzen o in poche selezionatissime birrerie di Praga.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Oh sì!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sabato&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Apro gli occhi, sono in ostello ma non ricordo come esserci arrivato.

Punto fortemente in comune, il veicolo Twitter come miglior mezzo tramite cui raggiungere le persone: non tanto il pubblico e i propri clienti diretti, quanto bloggers ed altri comunicatori online ai quali spetterà poi diffondere nomi e prodotti.

Tante diversità ma anche tanti punti di contatto, uno su tutti la necessità di dover parlare più al grande pubblico piuttosto che all'appassionato.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Brewdog.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Martin Dickie fa suonare "I Wanna Be Your Dog" di The Stooges, stappa una Hardcore IPA e racconta passo per passo la storia del più controverso birrificio del Regno Unito. Il bello arriva verso la fine, quando proietta uno schizzo di quello che sarà il nuovo edificio produttivo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Pomeriggio.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Una chiacchierata ben costruita tra &lt;a href="http://beerandpubs.wordpress.com/"&gt;Tim Hampson&lt;/a&gt; e &lt;a href="http://petebrown.blogspot.com/"&gt;Pete Brown&lt;/a&gt;: commenti, scambio di ruoli, botta e risposta ai confini del palco teatrale. Un grande lavoro sulla figura del blogger/amatore ben riassunto ieri dalle parole in libertà di &lt;a href="http://badattitudebeer.blogspot.com/2011/05/bbc-beer-bloggers-e-camden.html"&gt;Lorenzo&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Segue una sessione di abbinamento birra/cibo curato da &lt;a href="http://www.beeracademy.co.uk/"&gt;Beer Academy&lt;/a&gt;, purtroppo mediocre se penso a quanto bene siamo abituati a questo genere di eventi quì in Italia, dopodichè è il momento Live Beer Blogging: sette birrifici, ognuno con cinque minuti di tempo per poter spiegare una propria birra, e sessanta assetati di parole pronti a comunicare al mondo le proprie impressioni. Capisci chi ha vinto quando a sessione ultimata il banchetto &lt;a href="http://www.badattitude.ch/"&gt;Bad Attitude&lt;/a&gt; viene letteralmente derubato delle poche bottiglie di Two Penny avanzate.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Night Of Many Beers, Camden Town Brewery.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Salto gran parte della cena per poter organizzare il tavolo delle birre italiane presenti alla festa: &lt;a href="http://www.birratoccalmatto.it/"&gt;Toccalmatto&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.birrificio.it/"&gt;Italiano&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.birrificiodelducato.it/"&gt;Ducato&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.birrificioolmaia.com/"&gt;L'Olmaia&lt;/a&gt;. Ricordo le telefonate, e la difficoltà nello spiegare ad ognuno quanto potesse essere interessante partecipare: bhè durante tutta la serata sono stato praticamente assalito, costantemente circondato da persone con tanta curiosità, mille domande e occhi strabuzzanti dopo aver assaggiato una Zona Cesarini, una Tipopils, una Bia IPA, una BK. Certo, sarebbe stato bello poter essere pronti anche noi &lt;a href="http://hoppy-hour.blogspot.com/search/label/Birrificio%20OM"&gt;OM&lt;/a&gt;, ma ho lavorato come se le birre fossero le mie: perchè così deve essere, assieme ed uniti per far sapere al mondo che anche quì, quando non ci perdiamo in battibecchi fini a sè stessi, sappiamo fare bene il nostro lavoro.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Chiamatemi ingenuo, sappiate io preferisco &lt;i&gt;amatore&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sCxTxiZoAD0/TdulpTcbjpI/AAAAAAAAAwY/YUjv_-M71_0/s1600/Immagine+001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sCxTxiZoAD0/TdulpTcbjpI/AAAAAAAAAwY/YUjv_-M71_0/s400/Immagine+001.jpg" width="298" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2228474697059328308-3905291872950915030?l=hoppy-hour.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hoppy-hour.blogspot.com/feeds/3905291872950915030/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2228474697059328308&amp;postID=3905291872950915030' title='5 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2228474697059328308/posts/default/3905291872950915030'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2228474697059328308/posts/default/3905291872950915030'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hoppy-hour.blogspot.com/2011/05/un-confusionario-stream-of.html' title='Un confusionario stream of consciousness: Beer Bloggers Conference'/><author><name>Leo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10420488724900024306</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zQcoI7Y2zRA/ThwAXdhpr9I/AAAAAAAAAzM/MOuMbsMY9Ps/s220/337303-huge.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sCxTxiZoAD0/TdulpTcbjpI/AAAAAAAAAwY/YUjv_-M71_0/s72-c/Immagine+001.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2228474697059328308.post-8402537743660147634</id><published>2011-05-14T10:58:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-05-14T10:58:13.454+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Eventi'/><title type='text'>Pilsner weekend</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Come molti di voi, fidati lettori e beer hunters, mi sto preparando per &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bi-blog.it/2011/04/torna-il-pils-pride-lurago-marinone/"&gt;Pils Pride&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Non che serva poi molto: stomaco vuoto, moleskine, tanta sete.

Senza contare il cordoncino attaccato al gambo per identificare le persone, sbiadisce poco dopo e crea sempre grande caos.

La sera stessa e per circa 24 ore Blogger ha avuto diversi problemi, mandano in tilt parecchi utenti. Alle ore 19 di oggi venerdì 13 maggio il sistema riprende a funzionare ma il mio ultimo post non viene visualizzato, non figurando nemmeno come bozza nel mio archivio personale. Non sono solito salvare gli scritti di questo blog sul computer, sembrava definitivamente perso. Fortunatamente Google Buzz è venuto in salvifico aiuto.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Io per ora non avanzo ipotesi.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Voi leggete il post, che ora è ben salvato su disco fisso, ed eventualmente pronto a essere ripubblicato più e più volte.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;***&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="HgYomf"&gt;&lt;span class="QGJaM Ig Uqtsze" style="display: block;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Avrei dovuto saperlo fin dal principio.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="HgYomf"&gt;&lt;span class="QGJaM Ig Uqtsze" style="display: block;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Una email firmata &lt;a href="http://www.identitagolose.it/"&gt;Identità Golose&lt;/a&gt; che mi invitava ad una cena ospitata dal ristorante &lt;a href="http://www.ratana.it/"&gt;Ratanà&lt;/a&gt; a Milano. Cena curata dallo chef &lt;a href="http://www.oradariaristorante.com/"&gt;Marco Stabile&lt;/a&gt; e dalla pasticcera &lt;a href="http://www.italiasquisita.net/loretta-fanella-alta-pasticceria-gourmet"&gt;Loretta Fanella&lt;/a&gt;, a base di birra e abbinata alla stessa. Gli sponsor erano lì in alto, a lato del &lt;a href="http://www.marchidigola.it/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/StabileFanella-birra-2011.jpg"&gt;flyer&lt;/a&gt; allegato a fine email: Acqua Panna e San Pellegrino, Lavazza, Birra Moretti. Però non ho resistito, e ho domandato che birre avessero scelto come abbinamenti. La risposta? Puro cinismo: Moretti Baffo D'Oro, Doppio Malto e Grand Cru.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="HgYomf"&gt;&lt;span class="QGJaM Ig Uqtsze" style="display: block;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="clear: both; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="HgYomf"&gt;&lt;span class="QGJaM Ig Uqtsze" style="display: block;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dUyNUvLt2u4/TcwrxlBqzBI/AAAAAAAAAwU/5jII8J0PiEA/s1600/Immagine+002.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="https://0-focus-opensocial.googleusercontent.com/gadgets/proxy?container=focus&amp;amp;gadget=a&amp;amp;rewriteMime=image/*&amp;amp;refresh=31536000&amp;amp;url=http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dUyNUvLt2u4/TcwrxlBqzBI/AAAAAAAAAwU/5jII8J0PiEA/s400/Immagine%2B002.jpg" width="297" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="HgYomf"&gt;&lt;span class="QGJaM Ig Uqtsze" style="display: block;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="HgYomf"&gt;&lt;span class="QGJaM Ig Uqtsze" style="display: block;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Ovviamente ho accettato di buon grado l'invito: per curiosità e gola soprattutto, ma anche per sverginarmi con la famigerata Grand Cru. Bestemmierò, ma l'ho trovata tutto fuorchè una birra cattiva: odora di Belgio, con esteri fruttati un po' banana un po' pera e un lieve calore etilico. Poi in bocca... vuota. Un vuoto inconcludente, del quale non riesci a dire bene nè male, perchè fatichi a ricordare anche dopo averla appena deglutita. Certo, &lt;a href="http://www.movimentobirra.it/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1034"&gt;saremmo stati tutti più contenti con un po' di trasparenza sulla sua vera origine&lt;/a&gt;, però ne ho bevuta volentieri mezza bottiglia - complice il fatto che Baffo D'Oro sapesse di piselli e Doppio Malto di cassapanca. Questo il &lt;a href="http://blog.foodandfoodies.com/index.php/eventi/cena-tutta-birra-identita-golose-ratana-dinner-beer-ratan?lang=it"&gt;menù completo&lt;/a&gt;, di modo che anche voi possiate rendervi conto della discordanza tra l'eccellenza dei piatti e la pochezza degli abbinamenti. Ancora divento matto ripensando alle innumerevoli birre, quelle vere, che mi sono balzate in mente dopo ogni forchettata.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="HgYomf"&gt;&lt;span class="QGJaM Ig Uqtsze" style="display: block;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="HgYomf"&gt;&lt;span class="QGJaM Ig Uqtsze" style="display: block;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Sopra ogni cosa: un responsabile Heineken al quale vengo presentato.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="HgYomf"&gt;&lt;span class="QGJaM Ig Uqtsze" style="display: block;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;"Piacere, Alessio Leone.

Goat cheese was super-perfumy on the rind, had a creamy texture and tasted of fresh raw milk. Together went ace, leaving an intense aftertaste I can still feel in this very moment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Cheddar was a big challenge: it smelled like cows and farms, a wild intense flavour matched with a thick texture that glued palate and teeth. Had a sip of My Antonia and the beer was blown away, while it was Avec Les Bons Voeux the one that did the job: pear liquor, fruity esters, fresh yeast, big carbonation, bitterness, heating. Two giants standing hand in hand, matching/fighting/completing the subtlety of each other. And adding just that little bit of mustard to the game, oh well...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',

Si chiama &lt;a href="http://www.badattitude.ch/kurt.html"&gt;Kurt&lt;/a&gt;, quel Kurt, e ti chiede di essere bevuta con le labbra incollate all'alluminio: pale ale straripante di fruttati esotici mixati ad un palato facile, piacione e vincente.&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.badattitude.ch/twopenny.html"&gt;Two Penny&lt;/a&gt; arriva invece in bottiglia, perdendo già punti: porter atipica, forte, ruvida e scontrosa, con tostature del malto spinte ed un amaro che mette a dura prova.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;***&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Bad Attitude incarna un messaggio nuovo, fresco, diverso: rimane la latta il mezzo principe per veicolare questa vivacità in modo adeguato.

Due chiacchiere e colgo dodici spine, una handpump, una pils dalla Baviera e una dalla Franconia, Spezial Maerzen, qualcosa dalla linea Bia di Ducato e tanto altro del quale ancora non vogliono dare anticipazione.

Fortuna è anche molto altro: per esempio l'incontro con Pete Brown, Melissa Cole e Mark Fletcher sul modo di affrontare un articolo, capire con Martin Dickie come Brewdog costruisca il proprio guerrilla marketing, oppure ancora confrontarsi direttamente con la British Guild Of Beer Writers.

Sempre sabato, la mattina, farò parte di un incontro nel quale blogger di diversa provenienza geografica parleranno di come funziona il movimento nei rispettivi paesi. Pur non avendo ancora focalizzato bene l'obiettivo, argomenti dal quale pescare ne ho parecchi: il profumo di birra artigianale che sta finalmente avendo un riverbero mediatico concreto, la lotta figurata contro organismi come AIS che vogliono lanciarsi in questo mondo mancando di fondamenta, la necessità di un'alleanza solida tra coloro che scrivono di birra per poter parlare più forte e a più persone, il fatto che &lt;s&gt;ancora&lt;/s&gt; pochi birrifici e pochissimi personaggi storici italiani non abbiano ancora abbracciato questa forma di comunicazione.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Fatto questo, dovrebbe rimanere spazio per qualche birra.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2228474697059328308-8483548699818134987?l=hoppy-hour.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hoppy-hour.blogspot.com/feeds/8483548699818134987/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2228474697059328308&amp;postID=8483548699818134987' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2228474697059328308/posts/default/8483548699818134987'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2228474697059328308/posts/default/8483548699818134987'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hoppy-hour.blogspot.com/2011/04/abbiamo-davvero-bisogno-di-una-beer.html' title='Abbiamo davvero bisogno di una Beer Bloggers Conference?'/><author><name>Leo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10420488724900024306</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zQcoI7Y2zRA/ThwAXdhpr9I/AAAAAAAAAzM/MOuMbsMY9Ps/s220/337303-huge.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hPErWrRh6VQ/TZmzSOD3kSI/AAAAAAAAAvo/4e6L8aoJBo8/s72-c/BBC-Attendee-Badge-London-2011.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2228474697059328308.post-8559977845034396780</id><published>2011-03-30T09:50:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-03-30T09:50:54.352+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Birrificio OM'/><title type='text'>Dove eravamo rimasti?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Ogni tanto mi ricordo di avere un blog, anche se nell'ultimo periodo capita molto meno frequentemente.

Verrebbero prontamente smentite la mattina seguente dalla complicazione di turno: un'infiltrazione imprevista nel tetto, non riuscire a venire a capo di chi gestisca la rete fognaria in via Alzaia Trieste 12 a Corsico, Velo lì in Veneto pronta con l'impianto ma che non si muove se non con una fetta di finanziamento salda nelle tasche.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Cose così insomma.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Nel mentre, posso finalmente e con piacere dare qualche informazione più concreta sulle birre. Allo start-up saranno tre, nelle declinazioni stilistiche di Pilsner, India Pale Ale e Black Lager: chiara, rossa, scura - un approccio in apparenza semplice ma che aprendo un brewpub diventa molto importante.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Le illustrazioni, come tutto il progetto grafico del birrificio, sono di &lt;a href="http://www.yety.org/"&gt;Yety&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XnaMo7qvL2Q/TZLXpgTaJ8I/AAAAAAAAAvY/reH8orIp850/s1600/SFERA_definitiva.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XnaMo7qvL2Q/TZLXpgTaJ8I/AAAAAAAAAvY/reH8orIp850/s400/SFERA_definitiva.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Pilsner con le virgolette: malto Pils, luppoli Northern Brewer, Perle, Strisselspalt (luppolo autoctono alsaziano spesso erroneamente sottovalutato), lievito 34/70. Taglio erbaceo fresco con sfumatura citrica senza dimenticare il profilo maltato: medio corpo e bevibilità killer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6QLZCsEPjmw/TZLbaTVah-I/AAAAAAAAAvc/raFDJQyvCrM/s1600/MELVIILLE_definitiva.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6QLZCsEPjmw/TZLbaTVah-I/AAAAAAAAAvc/raFDJQyvCrM/s400/MELVIILLE_definitiva.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;India Pale Ale, che negli ultimi anni significa sempre più tutto e niente. La nostra versione sarà carica al naso, di aromi fruttati a tratti esotici, mentre in bocca resterà particolarmente facile, nella migliore accezione del termine. Malto Pale con qualche levigatura di Munich e Caramello, luppoli Perle, Nugget, Chinook, Crystal, Simcoe, lievito American Ale.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-w7B5U6YYKjY/TZLc3THOrEI/AAAAAAAAAvg/9pSMh1VFVCA/s1600/KALI_definitiva.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-w7B5U6YYKjY/TZLc3THOrEI/AAAAAAAAAvg/9pSMh1VFVCA/s400/KALI_definitiva.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Black Lager. Non Dark Lager, non Schwarzbier. Una sfumatura forse, ma teniamo al fatto che tra i tre sarà forse lo stile più personale. Malto Pils, Munich, Carafa, luppoli Northern Brewer, Perle, Savinjski Golding, Premiant: caffè e tostature gentili, luppolo pepato e agrumato, importante ma bilanciata. Senza avere paura.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;***&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Ora fateci sapere voi cosa ne pensate: grafiche, scelte stilistiche, ingredienti, ogni commento è ben accetto.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2228474697059328308-8559977845034396780?l=hoppy-hour.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hoppy-hour.blogspot.com/feeds/8559977845034396780/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2228474697059328308&amp;postID=8559977845034396780' title='20 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2228474697059328308/posts/default/8559977845034396780'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2228474697059328308/posts/default/8559977845034396780'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hoppy-hour.blogspot.com/2011/03/dove-eravamo-rimasti.html' title='Dove eravamo rimasti?'/><author><name>Leo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10420488724900024306</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zQcoI7Y2zRA/ThwAXdhpr9I/AAAAAAAAAzM/MOuMbsMY9Ps/s220/337303-huge.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XnaMo7qvL2Q/TZLXpgTaJ8I/AAAAAAAAAvY/reH8orIp850/s72-c/SFERA_definitiva.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>20</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2228474697059328308.post-7210884192585702447</id><published>2011-03-15T11:58:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2011-03-15T11:58:06.800+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Eventi'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rumors'/><title type='text'>Birra e paillettes</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Di ritorno da &lt;a href="http://www.pittimmagine.com/it/fiere/taste/"&gt;Taste&lt;/a&gt;, Firenze.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Sei corsie a rigore minimalista di eccellenza gastronomica e u&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;n senso di soggezione creato sia dalla location - &lt;a href="http://www.stazione-leopolda.com/"&gt;Stazione Leopolda&lt;/a&gt;, seimila metri quadri di edificio ferroviario primo Ottocento - sia dal pubblico - tacco, rossetto, cravatta, macchina fotografica.

Davvero abbiamo bisogno di questo per vendere un po' di più? Davvero dobbiamo abbassarci (o alzarci, scegliete voi) a livello di vino e ristorazione chic per dare valore aggiunto al nostro amato prodotto? La birra non è un liquido da degustare, può esserlo ma non deve trarre da questo la sua natura: birra significa sete, quantità, poterne bere una a metà mattina senza mai sentirsi vergognosamente in colpa; dopo e solo dopo aver fatto tutto questo poi possiamo anche ordinarla a tavola per cena. Ripeto, dopo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;La snaturazione, il voler essere con ostinazione qualcosa d'altro è un errore profondo. Giusto invece è esprimere il massimo delle proprie potenzialità consapevoli di quello che si sta producendo e vendendo: sola, semplice, virtuosa birra. Che per me rimane una bevanda, direste mai lo stesso del vino?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2228474697059328308-7210884192585702447?l=hoppy-hour.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hoppy-hour.blogspot.com/feeds/7210884192585702447/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2228474697059328308&amp;postID=7210884192585702447' title='3 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2228474697059328308/posts/default/7210884192585702447'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2228474697059328308/posts/default/7210884192585702447'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hoppy-hour.blogspot.com/2011/03/birra-e-paillettes.html' title='Birra e paillettes'/><author><name>Leo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10420488724900024306</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zQcoI7Y2zRA/ThwAXdhpr9I/AAAAAAAAAzM/MOuMbsMY9Ps/s220/337303-huge.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2228474697059328308.post-5990628618675133837</id><published>2011-03-11T10:51:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2011-03-11T10:51:38.602+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Esperienze sensoriali'/><title type='text'>Vino contro Birra contro Cibo</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.movimentobirra.it/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3747"&gt;Ventesima edizione&lt;/a&gt;, segno che il format è ormai consolidato ma soprattutto che scaturisce comune interesse.

Nuova gestione di quello che leggo era l'ex Barbarians, cosa fosse non ne ho idea so solo che aveva qualcosa a che fare col rugby.

La vera novità però arriva ultima, prima loro interpretazione del tema lager creata in collaborazione con il &lt;a href="http://www.birrificio.it/"&gt;Birrificio Italiano&lt;/a&gt;: si chiama &lt;a href="http://maltworms.blogspot.com/2011/02/stella-artois-this-is-not.html"&gt;Italia&lt;/a&gt; (lascio a voi ulteriori apostrofi sul nome, io mi sono già pronunciato abbastanza), è di un giallo che a tratti sconfina nel verde, profuma di fiori secchi - camomilla su tutti - nota netta di limone,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;delicata ed elegante sulla lingua.

Il sabato apre lo spaccio ed è buona occasione per portarsi a casa qualche bottiglia, perlopiù a £2,5. Sperimentazioni sui luppoli declinate in numerose (India) Pale Ales succose e fruttatissime, una Porter e una Export Stout che rispolverano le tradizioni, una Imperial Stout che le azzera con sale, alcool e cuoio.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.caskpubandkitchen.com/"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Cask Pub &amp;amp;

Fortuna c'è sempre santa &lt;a href="http://www.microbirrifici.org/Birrificio_Italiano_Tipopils_birra.aspx"&gt;Tipopils&lt;/a&gt; lì a fianco, a ricordarti che nel momento del bisogno sai a chi rivolgerti.

Una ritrovata &lt;a href="http://www.microbirrifici.org/Lambrate_Ortiga_birra.aspx"&gt;Ortiga&lt;/a&gt; con luppolo rustico al confine tra erbaceo e pepato, che in pratica si beve da sola, e una &lt;a href="http://www.microbirrifici.org/Lambrate_Ghisa_birra.aspx"&gt;Ghisa&lt;/a&gt; persa nei suoi meandri affumicati, stavolta però in compagnia di una nota pinosa e balsamica.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Ieri sera, &lt;a href="http://www.isoladellabirra.com/joomla/index.php"&gt;Isola Della Birra&lt;/a&gt; e sei spine di fronte a me: &lt;a href="http://www.crocedimalto.it/platinum.html"&gt;Croce di Malto Platinum&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.baladin.it/negoziobaladin/?id_pg=15"&gt;Baladin Noel&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.microbirrifici.org/L'Orso_Verde_Natale_2008_birra.aspx"&gt;Orso Verde Natale&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.birrificiolambrate.com/0703/ita/pag/birre_brighella.htm"&gt;Lambrate Brighella&lt;/a&gt; e &lt;a href="http://www.birrificiolambrate.com/0703/ita/pag/birre_santambroeus.htm"&gt;Sant'Ambroeus&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.bi-blog.it/le-birre/tipopils/"&gt;Italiano Tipopils&lt;/a&gt;.

D'accordo il vuoto a rendere, d'accordo la leggerezza e la scelta comunque coerente con una filosofia aziendale attenta all'ambiente. La latta però era il nuovo, il diverso, il futuro, mentre ampliare l'offerta alla bottiglia mi sembra una retromarcia.

Per me queste persone erano solo due: Flavio Boero e Marco Giannasso. Sulla professionalità di Flavio nè io nè tantomeno tu credo abbiamo dubbi, sul fatto che faccia parte di una multinazionale della birra non vedo davvero minaccia, forse sono ingenuo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;2) Schigi - "[...] Non ci sarebbe spazio per un giudice genoano &lt;/b&gt;(&lt;i&gt;Kuaska&lt;/i&gt;, ndr)&lt;b&gt; che per la birra artigianale ha dato tutto?"&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Non come presidente di giuria, almeno quest'anno. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Per la figura di solo giudice invece assolutamente sì.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;3&lt;b&gt;) Tyrser - "Ma le soglie del basso e alto tenore alcolico?"&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Non è scritto, di primo acchito il disorientamento potrebbe essere questa mancanza: il riferimento principale è il limite di 14,5 gradi Plato della Legislazione Italiana, oltre la quale una birra viene classificata "doppio malto".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;4) Tyrser - "Birre acide, sentori acidi ben in evidenza.

La prima scelta sarà del birraio, che dovrà inserire le sue birre nelle categorie adatte: se mettesse per esempio una barrel-aged imperial stout in cui l'apporto del legno è appena percettibile nella categoria 16 (Birre affinate in legno) sbaglierebbe, e le definizioni sopra citate ne sarebbero testimonianza.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;5) Xodc - "E' anche vero, inoltre, che due membri provenienti da Carlsberg sono forse un po' troppi..."&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Rispondo ugualmente, pur essendo in conflitto di interessi.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Troppi due membri su venti, di cui uno nemmeno assaggerà una birra? Francamente non mi pare. Se ci fossero figure in Heineken altrettanto preparate e disponibili spero fortemente Unionbirrai pescherebbe anche lì: non per la crociata dell'artigianalità, ma per il bene di un concorso nazionale.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;***&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Chiunque legga si senta libero di commentare, oppure nel caso fosse iscritto a &lt;a href="http://www.movimentobirra.it/"&gt;MoBI&lt;/a&gt; di linkare questo articolo nel rispettivo thread del forum.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2228474697059328308-4021181283972435968?l=hoppy-hour.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hoppy-hour.blogspot.com/feeds/4021181283972435968/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2228474697059328308&amp;postID=4021181283972435968' title='6 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2228474697059328308/posts/default/4021181283972435968'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2228474697059328308/posts/default/4021181283972435968'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hoppy-hour.blogspot.com/2010/12/birra-dellanno-2011-come-e-perche.html' title='Birra dell&apos;Anno 2011, come e perchè'/><author><name>Leo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10420488724900024306</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zQcoI7Y2zRA/ThwAXdhpr9I/AAAAAAAAAzM/MOuMbsMY9Ps/s220/337303-huge.jpg'/></author><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2228474697059328308.post-8415118180144419670</id><published>2010-12-21T11:21:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2010-12-21T12:51:30.841+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rumors'/><title type='text'>Fine dell'anno: tempo non di regali quanto di classifiche birrarie, oppure di regali da scegliere in base alle classifiche birrarie</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.pencilandspoon.com/2010/12/golden-pints-beer-awards-2010.html"&gt;Dredge&lt;/a&gt; ha dato la traccia, io ho adattato/tagliato/italianizzato, voi dovete stilare la vostra classifica personale e poi postarla quì come commento oppure nel vostro sito come articolo.

Un tappo di schiuma bruna e rocciosa che ti picchia nel naso quel profilo aromatico davvero complesso, caffèlatte ruffiano in prima linea, gran corpo, quattro gradi che scoppi a ridere, oggi sveste i panni della comparsa e diventa prima donna.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Le altre quattro ognuna a turno a lustrarle le scarpe. &lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2228474697059328308-2597880414452984522?l=hoppy-hour.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hoppy-hour.blogspot.com/feeds/2597880414452984522/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2228474697059328308&amp;postID=2597880414452984522' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2228474697059328308/posts/default/2597880414452984522'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2228474697059328308/posts/default/2597880414452984522'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hoppy-hour.blogspot.com/2010/12/togliete-i-riflettori-drink-it-easy.html' title='Togliete i riflettori, drink it easy!'/><author><name>Leo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10420488724900024306</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zQcoI7Y2zRA/ThwAXdhpr9I/AAAAAAAAAzM/MOuMbsMY9Ps/s220/337303-huge.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2228474697059328308.post-8182310221347542748</id><published>2010-12-09T14:58:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2010-12-09T14:58:47.547+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Eventi'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rumors'/><title type='text'>Mezzo pomeriggio di apnea e tanti punti di domanda</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.artigianoinfiera.it/ita/visit_home.php"&gt;Artigiano In Fiera&lt;/a&gt;: obiettivo iniziale lo stand &lt;a href="http://www.whiskyfestival.it/"&gt;Milano Whisky Festival&lt;/a&gt;, ma dopo aver letto quei due/tre nomi citati da &lt;a href="http://birragenda.blogspot.com/2010/12/pianeta-birra-e-milano.html"&gt;Maurizio&lt;/a&gt; sul fronte birra mi sono dato una ragione in più.

Fruttatissima, etilica, masticabile, trascende il dolce spaziando tra miele, canditi, marzapane, butto lì anche un distillato di pera per fare colui che ne sa.

Cascadian Dark Ale suona quasi campanilistico, anche se tutto sommato rimane ad oggi il nome che mi convince di più.

Bene? Male? Chiedendo quì e lì direttamente ai produttori direi entrambe. Benissimo per &lt;a href="http://www.birrificioolmaia.com/"&gt;Moreno/Olmaia&lt;/a&gt;, al settimo cielo senza quasi più birra già il sabato mattina - e con &lt;a href="http://www.birrificioolmaia.com/images/pdf/scheda_la9.pdf"&gt;La9&lt;/a&gt; in forma strepitosa. Male per &lt;a href="http://www.bi-du.it/"&gt;Beppe/Bi-Du&lt;/a&gt; così come l'intera area Lombardia, nell'immaginario comune regione meno affascinante e quindi penalizzata da minor affluenza di una Toscana per dirne una, una Sicilia per dirne un'altra. Venuto a meno di conseguenza il senso di aggregazione e cameratismo che lega e fortifica la scena italiana, anche se passeggiando per i padiglioni balzavano all'orecchio numerose parole di stupore per questa cosa birra artigianale.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;A proposito, non si parlava di birroteca tempo addietro?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Per il resto, al Salone vado per godere. D'accordo la birra - e quello stand &lt;a href="http://www.brewersassociation.org/"&gt;Brewers Association&lt;/a&gt; che dispensava gioielli quali &lt;a href="http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/firestone-walker-parabola/60246/"&gt;Firestone Walker Parabola&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/allagash-curieux/38037/"&gt;Allagash Curieux&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/ballast-point-sculpin-ipa-north-star/50008/"&gt;Ballast Point Sculpin&lt;/a&gt; a 1€ il bicchiere, neanche fossero patatine - ma anche per tutto il resto: l'artigiano, l'ignorante e il gastronomo per cinque giorni assieme a confrontarsi sul mondo-cibo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FzWxU9EzKdo/TMWBLkyX-_I/AAAAAAAAArQ/sC3jl8g5ow8/s1600/DSC03698.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="266" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FzWxU9EzKdo/TMWBLkyX-_I/AAAAAAAAArQ/sC3jl8g5ow8/s400/DSC03698.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;Sopra tutto, &lt;a href="http://www.microbirrifici.org/Foglie_d''Erba_birrificio.aspx"&gt;Birrificio Foglie D'erba&lt;/a&gt;. Chi? Cosa? Poche informazioni in rete e niente sito. Però fanno questa Black IPA che chissiricorda il nome, credo i primi in Italia sul pezzo, e che pezzo: carica di resine e agrumi, secca e tostatissima, una delle migliori birre assaggiate recentemente. Con un ufficio marketing adeguato spedirebbero a casa tanti colleghi più scafati.

Ci sei quasi, ti sembra di aver colto un profumo e lei invece bam, gancio ben piazzato e ti devia altrove - un cocktail di aromi ubriacante. Union Jack risponde, senza quella freschezza nè quell'arroganza ma con gioco più tradizionale: alternanza di agrumi maturi, caramello e zucchero vanigliato. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;Round 3&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;Ansimano, sudano, si studiano: Union Jack entra cicciotta e succosa, scivolando però velocemente con eleganza.

Sul banco una dozzina di spine e un cask divisi tra US ed Europa - al posto di giocare coi numeri quì si gioca con la qualità di pochi singoli. In frigo una trentina di bottiglie, tra cui fanno sorridere e inorgoglire un'etichetta &lt;a href="http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/montegioco-bran/77284/"&gt;Montegioco&lt;/a&gt;, un'altra &lt;a href="http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/panil-barriquee-sour/22395/"&gt;Panil&lt;/a&gt;.

Le birre solide, pulite, secche, personali, ben fatte: forse manca ancora una certa eleganza rispetto ai grandi classici belgi ma mentre lo dico mi sento quasi vecchio.

Temperatura bassa e frizzantezza aiutano, sostengono, ed esaltano, mentre l'assenza di queste  lascia spazio a malti e astringenze, senza contare lo scompiglio creato da qualche ossidazione non controllata.

Fino cena 1$ in meno su ogni birra, pratica comune alla maggioranza dei bar.
