150 Perfect Places to Have a Beer.

Εδώ και αρκετό καιρό το ‘χα στο μυαλό μου, αλλά σήμερα “ξαναέπεσα πάνω του” και είπα να το δημοσιεύσω επιτέλους…

Το καλοκαίρι που μας πέρασε, το δημοφιλές αμερικανικό περιοδικό “All About Beer”, στο ένθετο Beer Traveler είχε μια ενδιαφέρουσα λίστα. Ούτε λίγο ούτε πολύ, 150 ενδιαφέροντα μέρη, από κλασσικές μπυραρίες, tap rooms, tasting rooms ζυθοποιιών, φεστιβάλς, κλπ.

Πριν από δυο χρόνια είχε δημοσιεύσει μια ανάλογη λίστα, με πολύ μεγάλη ανταπόκριση – αλλά και κριτική – από τους αναγνώστες και τους φίλους του χώρου. Τόσο το 2008 όσο και φέτος, πολλοί αμφισβήτησαν τόσο τα μέρη που συμπεριλήφθησαν στη λίστα, όσο και τη σειρά που κατατάχθηκαν. Άλλοι θεώρησαν πως κακώς συμπεριλήφθησαν στη λίστα φεστιβάλ ή κάποια ομολογουμένως συμπαθητικά εστιατόρια ή pubs, που όμως δεν είχαν κάτι ιδιαίτερο να προσφέρουν από μπύρα…
Εμείς απλά αναδημοσιεύουμε τη λίστα – που όντως είναι ενδιαφέρουσα και ας ελπίσουμε πως θα έχουμε την ευκαιρία να επισκεφτούμε στο μέλλον κάποια απ’ αυτά.
