紐西蘭史塔克手工精釀艾帕啤酒，全聯特價好貨
Cheap to get a Hand Crafted Stoke IPA Late Hop Pale Ale beer by McCashin’s Brewery in Taiwan PXmart
台灣人有奇怪心態，看到特價品就先退後，覺得其中必有詐，我特地分享一個選酒經驗法則，這個法則無論放諸葡萄酒、啤酒、水果酒皆準：只要標明產地來自紐西蘭南島，先試再說，好喝機率大！
Taiwanese always think that something on sale on the shelf of supermarkets were merchandises having flaws.
But I wanna share a personal rule to break the thought. If something made from south New Zealand, just buy it.
而這法則再度靈驗，就是用兩瓶99元台幣特價，買到紐西蘭史塔克手工精釀艾帕啤酒。
My personal rule won again that I bought 2 bottles of Hand Crafted Stoke IPA Late Hop Pale Ale beer costed me USD.3.25. That’s a bottle only USD.1.625.
這個自標為「晚釀啤酒花印度艾爾啤酒」的怪咖，官網說是英式風格多過於美式風格，有皮爾森啤酒風格。
The label said it’s “Late Hop Pale Ale” and they told us it’s more English than American in style and It is light but a step up in hop intensity from our Pilsner.
嚐起來有淡淡蜂蜜味，還有一種說不出的陳味，應該就是官網形容是焦糖，我個人倒是覺得有點核桃的堅果味，
非常特殊，混和前面提到的陳放發酵味，有一種飽經滄桑的風味，跟過去嚐過在南島釀製的葡萄酒風格不一樣，很適合搭配海鮮，應該跟釀酒廠位在南島尼爾遜機場附近港灣，能跟眾多海鮮料理搭配有關係。
It seemed to me that there’s some honey, chestnuts-like flavor in Hand Crafted Stoke IPA Late Hop Pale Ale. The IPA beer brewed by McCashin’s Brewery at Nelson of New Zealand.That’s a bay area with a lot of sea foods. It seems to brew for match sea foods as well.
2015、2016連續兩年得到澳洲國際啤酒獎，對紐西蘭參賽酒廠是非常困難的。(如果你了解紐澳情結)
The beer won 2015 & 2016 Australian International Beer Awards that’s very difficult for a New Zealand Brewery to beat a lot of Aussie breweries.
這個精釀啤酒廠源於一對麥卡辛夫婦，購買歷史悠久的紐西蘭水果酒廠蘿奇黛爾，展開精釀啤酒革命，台灣全聯超市也常特價出清蘿奇黛爾蘋果酒或梨子酒，都是值得一喝得好酒，尤其紐西蘭梨子酒的清爽果香，很配烤肉或燒烤串。
When Terry and Bev McCashin purchased the brewery from Rochdale Cider in 1980, Terry and Bev, with the help of a handful of like-minded folk, began the craft brewing revolution.
There’re some Rochdale Cider on the shelf of PX-mart in Taiwan. I recommend to have them with BBQ or kebab.
麥卡辛釀酒廠有自己的啤酒餐廳，啤酒廠提供一個人25紐幣的試喝導覽，臉書上常有貼文，基本上還是運用紐西蘭南島的天然食材。
McCashin brewery also have a restaurant with kitchen where they displayed their ideas of beer, cider and foods. The touring of McCashin brewery costs 25 NZD.
個人寄宿紐西蘭農場經驗神奇無數，親眼目睹農場主人準備民宿客人早餐是拿個大網在門前水溝撈魚，以及早上現摘蔬果，在紐西蘭全無汙染與農藥環境裡，釀造酒類永遠值得試，驚喜機率永遠高。
I witnessed a lot of natural miracles in my New Zealand traveling experience. Anything came from South of New Zealand deserved a try. Always amazing.
