Bottle or Can For CNY

February 9, 2010 - 10:30 am No Comments

Chinese New Year is just around the corner, beer is a must. Some ask me is it better to get bottles or cans for CNY. I’m not a feng shui master, nor am I any good in fortune telling. I don’t really know bottles or can will effect any of your auspicious believe. All I know is Red is the CNY colour… haha

Ok back to the question Bottles or Cans. For me, CNY is easier to go with beer cans, there are few reason to it. First thing, you can throw in more can in the fridge then the bottles. Bottles take up too many space in the fridge.

Second, beer can also take up less garbage space compare to the bottles. The beer bottles are not light, especially after 2 carton of beer bottle. But 2 carton of beer cans is still as light as feather.

Third, breaking glasses is always consider as bad omen. I fallen can will just spill some beer and dented the can, but a fallen bottle will shatter the glass and is really troublesome to clean up.

Fourth, weight load are so much heavier compare bottles to can. Although bottles are cool to drink from, nicer in many ways compare to cans. Is not that ideal when you buy in cartons and cartons.

Fifth, when everyone is excited you found out that your house don’t have bottle opener. A can is easy and much faster compare to bottles.

So there you have it the pro of having a BEER CAN is still better then a beer bottle. Have fun this CNY. Cheers!

Leffe Brune pours a dark brown with a whitish brown head. Smell a bit fruitiness, and tinge of something roasted.

The first sip, taste fruity sweetness with little aromas, and after taste, a tinge of bittersweet. Mouth-feel is nice, nothing too harsh, and tad bit of carbonation at first.

This brune contained 6.5% ABV, overall, a nice flavorful drink, but personally, i think one bottle is enough, due to its sweetness.

In my opinion, maybe if pair with poultry would bring out more tastebud of this brune. Tasted this Leffe at Public TTDI, could be available at other place as well.

thief steal beer

(The Star Online) ALOR SETAR: Smugglers are apparently trying to cash in on the demand for liquor for the coming festive season by bringing in the alcoholic drinks from duty-free Langkawi through various means.

This included hiding 8,448 bottles of liquor of various brands in a 12m-long container carrying me tal beds from the island resort.

The contrabrand liquor, worth about RM547,400 with unpaid duties totalling RM826,389, was seized by Customs officers and the Kedah Anti-Smuggling Unit at about 4pm on Monday at the Kuala Kedah jetty near here.

Kedah Customs director Saadon Mohd Dros said the liquor was found hidden behind stacks of boxes containing metal beds in the container which had just arrived from Langkawi.

“The container was declared as carrying metal beds but we decided to make a thorough inspection by bringing it back to our enforcement office in Alor Setar,” he told a press conference here yesterday.

He said the department had questioned a 37-year-old man, who acted as the middleman to bring out the liquor from La ng kawi.

In Penang, a luxury yacht which sailed from Langkawi was found with 253 bottles and cans of liquor and beer with unpaid du ties totaling more than RM40,000 when it was stopped by a Ma laysian Maritime En forcement Agency boat near the Penang Bridge at about 10.15pm on Mon day.

MMEA Maritime 2 (Penang) district enforcement head Com mander Robert Teh Geok Chuan said the yacht’s three crew members were arrested and their sta tements recorded before they were released on police bail.

“We have seized the yacht for investigations and are tracing the owner,” Commander Teh told a press conference in Ge orge Town yesterday.

Buy Tiger Free Bowl???

February 4, 2010 - 10:03 am No Comments

I saw this and it give me a giggle. I still can’t find a link between beer and bowl. When did beer company gift pack are getting less innovative. Is it maybe if you buy 4 cartons and you get 4 bowls this will make your wife happy and you can buy more? I hope this is not the boss idea. Is the year of Tiger and this is the best you guys in Tiger can think off? Kaput lah like that…

Suddenly, the bowl reminds me of how the westerners are con to drink from the urinal pot. At least Carlsberg is giving out some Chinese New Year DVD which can enjoy by all family in the home, at least got some CNY feel good going then getting a bowl.

A Chill Day At Havana

February 3, 2010 - 11:23 am No Comments

The day is New Year Eve, the first time I was at Changkat Bukit Bintang. So a few of us are wondering on this happening street. So many pubs to choose from, we end up at the last tavern called Havana.

The rustic feel really capture my eyes. The place look friendly enough for an afternoon drink. The place is chill, the fan is letting of some breeze, it felt like I suddenly enter a village house that serve beer.

Haven’t even order anything, I already start taking picture, walking inside and start snapping. How can a place name Havana don’t come with a cigar. They have this special room that display range of cigar.

And how can cigar come without wine. I’m beer fan but so far I still haven’t heard of any pairing of beer and cigar. This cigar room really look amazing. It make it want to take a puff and drink some wine.

On the wall you can also see famous people proudly holding up their cigar. Always like a wall full of photo frame for display. Only after that I go out and sit under the shade and order my beer.

Then I start to ask, can it be the chic that attract me to this place? Because this place give a good vibes and nice environment, this place make me feel calm during this hot afternoon. Or maybe is just an anticipation for the counting down to 2010?

Can it be the crowd? Got mix local and tourist or expat sitting drinking an ice cold beer under the hot weather, nothing beat a cold beer during this hot day. The crowd is good, the service is nice, the beer is cold… what can I ask for?

Then I look up, even the view is great. I can see KL tower directly. It’s majestic. Then I start to ponder, few more hours to counting down, what have I did in 2009?

For the whole year and I actually end up in this pub for my last day of 2009. This is real satisfaction, good environment, good crowd and most important good company. Maybe is my good mood that make this place great to be in. The right place at the right time. Cheers!

My Liver Is For Good Beer!

February 2, 2010 - 10:26 am 4 Comments

kennhyn-01

I have calculate how much beer I drank in 2009 and the amount is not something my parents will proud of. I have took in around 350 liter of beers, which is almost equivalent to 1 liter a day or something like 3 cans of beer per day.

Which I would said this is 7 times more then per capita per annum for the non-muslim that drink in Malaysia (which I assume). I think I should reduce it to around 200 liter this year. I love beer, no doubt about that but beer is not something good for health. What good will it be for me if my health doesn’t allow me to drink beer?

Of course, those who met me before know that I always like to use the phrase “My Liver Is For Good Beer”… So don’t get mad if you see me drink 1 or 2 pint.

Of course I did some binge drinking last year, but not as much as the year before, but because I was invited to event, launch, anniversary and etc that have contribute to me drinking a lot. Free flow is word that have not much effect on me anymore. It use to be a dream come true, but now it’s just a normal thing. So do you think I can make it to around 200 liter next year?

Timmermans Kriek Lambic

February 1, 2010 - 10:28 am No Comments

This is Timmermans Anno 1781 Kriek Lambic, a Belgian beer with Lambic and flavored with cherry. Kriek is the Flemish word for a small, dark, bitter type of cherry found in Schaarbeek, Belgium. As the Schaarbeek cherries have become more difficult to find, some brewers have replaced krieks with other types of cherries, either partly or completely.

DSC_1599 (Large)

This Timmermans pours out a reddish amber with pale white head which quickly dissipate away, but left some lacing behind. Look into the glass showed good carbonation.

Poured into the glass, and smell the aromas of fruity cherries, but sourish, something similar to champagne with cherry notes.

DSC_1598 (Large)

The first sip, a little sweetness with cherries palate, and the sourish taste came in. Plenty of carbonation, and dryness in the end, with cherry palate still lingering. Light body, feel like champagne, with the dryness and sourness, this is certainly a beer with acquired taste to appreciate it.

DSC_1600 (Large)

Overall, this is a good kriek, recommended for those whom have this wrong perception that beer always is bitter. Easy to drink, yet not something I would drink all night long. Since this kriek is cherry sweetish and sourish, maybe pairing with desserts, salads or chocs would create some interesting palate.

I got this Timmermans Kriek Lambic from Beer Paradise, Manila. That tells why the beer label is so wrinkled up, traveled long beaten route, heh! Hopefully, there will be more kriek lambic coming into our shore.
