Beer safari in Taizhong
Taiwan has many cities...today im visiting Taizhong...almost 3 million people live there...even if its just 150-200km from taipei, the cutlre is totaly different regarding consumer behaviour...I also think the maffia is stronger here...
From taipei I took train...and found a paper plane compeitoin at Taipei main station...
I also had some korean food there...
Before taking of...to Taizhong...
In taipei main station they sell alot of tourist things...as well as alot of snacks from all over taiwan and near by countries like japan and korea...
It took some hour by train to get to taizhong...
From the train station it is about 3-4km to the first beer bar (walking distance)...however bus number 5 takes you there too...
I got some traffic card that I could use in the bus...
The first visit was paid at Deluxe Brewhouse...
It was pretty big and reminder me of Beerworks in Jhubei...
They had 3 different kinds of beer plus many flavours...and some 50% off, on the second glass offer...
Weissbeer, pilsner and some dark draft...
They had service charge, and as usual, when they have service charge the service is a little worse...
They also used the german theme....with many flags...
Second round was Weissbeer vs Strawberry beer
They have some factory in Tucheng, taipei it said, but i saw alot of brewing equipment in the resturant too...
They even had their own toothpick paper...
Pretty big...
And coffee grains in the toilet...i guess for people to smoke here, even if it is illegal...maybe a requirement from the maffia...
Many couches were blue and white...like the colours of Gothenburgs football team IFK Göteborg...
The trip continued2km north east...to the next destination...
We passed many resturants (famous ones)...it was about 2km to the next brewery...
Wow, this pace if famous from Lonely planet...(A random resturant in taizhong downtown)...
Interesting architecture...the elevators are seen as two lights going up and down on the dark wall of the building...
Omg, I use to have a friend in the swedish marines called Bellini...maybe his family owns this pasta place...
Here is the next place...(a little dark)...
Their toilet door was fun...you locked it in an old fashined way...
They had 4 kind beer, and since they ahd anniversary, 500ml beer were only 100nt...
else this are the original prices...
They had many pictures from germany as well...
And just as the other place, this showed baseball...
We got the beer in plastic glasses...the green on is some algea beer...
these are dark beer, weissbeer, and the one in the middle is just a mix of the dark and light one...(so in theory they had 3 kinds of beer)
This was the name...
I bought a pizza...the other place "deluxe" also offered hamburger...but i didnt try it...
The green one left...
I took it with me for the third brewery...
Taizhong nights...
RuiDeBao...is the third place name...
A little bit smaller that the two first....
Also with german inspiration...
And some instruction about how they brew...just like the Barshi place in Beitou has...
Omg, they serve "dolphin" or something...or many just a wierd translation...
They had 2 types of beer here...one weisbeer and one with more hops...
The dark one tasted like the beer i make...thus a very standard flavour...
All places i visited offers the plastic cylinger tap...
It is easier when you are many people...to buy that one...
Reichburg is the name of this resturant...
German sausages....and sauer kraut...
And some kebab without kebab sauce...
Seems like they got some award...
I also got a voucher...on which I could collect stamps...
The last train back to taipei leaves around 21...the last High speed rail train as 23 something...
And the last busleaves at 23.30 and 23.40...
So bus was the best choice...
The bus leaves nearby the Taizhong train station...
A maffia guy or something...he let me take a picture of his face...he had tatoes all over it...
The bus had toilets...so i could save a beer for that...no need to waste it...
Omg..."Please dont hand on your leg"..."dont sit for children below 145 cm"...its always interesting to travel in taiwan...i wonder what they really mean....
Taipei was raining...super slippery with my flipflops...since the pavements have very slippery stones...and my flipflops is made of a weird material...
