I was deeply impressed by the lively scene of the beer house with a history of more than 400 years. Drinking beer is originally a very happy and lively event, but due to the reputation of the beer house and the gathering of tourists, the atmosphere in the entire beer house is even more exciting. Everyone opens their eyes wide to see the most famous beer house in the beer capital. The unprecedented grand occasion of the beer house, everyone also prepares a super-large beer glass to drink beer, coupled with the live performance of Bavarian folk songs, it makes people want to order every beer. If you pay attention, you can see that there are several plates of meat and several large glasses of wine on everyone's table; such as roast chicken, German pig's feet and Munich's famous white sausage are popular among guests from all over the world who drink here.

Coincidentally, on the evening of December 22, 2021, at the invitation of a friend, the reporter came to a small gathering called "Bloomberg German Beer Bar" in the CBD of the capital. Unexpectedly, the authentic German beer brewing and flavor here is authentic. Western dishes that are mainly German cuisine and are compatible with other countries 'cuisine, and the hot scene of Latin American-style music played by the Cuban band in the venue made the reporter naturally think of the HB Beer House in Munich, Germany. From a certain perspective, The reporter believed that although the two places are separated by Munich, Germany and Beijing, China, they have similar advantages.

Walking into the Bloomberg Beer House, you can see a place for tasting red wine on the first floor. You can see a large set of German beer brewing equipment standing against the wall on the left side. Its structure is complex, and the huge metal wine barrel shines under the light. There are various brands of red wine on the wine shelves around the banquet in several rows opposite the equipment.

Mr. Zhang Bin, who is in charge of the layout of the Bloomberg Beer House, told reporters that our equipment is imported from Germany. Beer is brewed in the restaurant and is completed through large cans of different shapes and functions. The entire set of beer equipment is placed in the store to brew one beer. The cycle is about 27 days. The first floor is a red wine tasting area, and the second floor is a place where authentic German beer is enjoyed; in addition to beer, traditional German and other national cuisine are also served, so the restaurant is called the Beer Hall-Brauhaus.

Follow the stairs from the first floor to the second floor. On both sides of the corridor are murals related to wine culture. The simple and lively paintings outline the theme of the Bloomberg Winery. There are also some photos of the guests on the wall. As he climbed to the beer house on the second floor and sat down, Zhang Bing also slowly explained the situation in the Bloberg Beer House.

Bloomberg originated in Bamberg, Bavaria, Germany. Our LOGO is based on the three-color black, red and yellow of the German flag. The abstract medieval knight mask is inlaid in the shield, and the surrounding wheat ears symbolize prosperity. Reflecting Bloomberg's existing stores and characteristics.

In our beer house, professional brewers brew classic beers such as wheat white beer, barley yellow beer, barley dark beer, pilsner, and IPA. Germans 'love for beer is reflected in all aspects. Take a small beer glass for example, which contains rich beer culture.

Beer glasses in the wine house

The wheat cup has no handle and the thin cup body is covered with threads. It is specially used to hold beer mainly composed of wheat malt. Barley cups, with handles, commonly known as pineapple cups, are specially used to hold beer mainly composed of barley malt. Whether it is a wheat cup or a barley cup, the threads on it are used to prevent the hand temperature from being transferred to the beer too quickly, causing the beer to heat up and affect the taste. The charm of craft beer, or what people commonly call fresh beer, refers to the active yeast in beer. Generally, the temperature of the active yeast living environment is 1-3 degrees Celsius. The increase in temperature causes the yeast activity to decrease and eventually becomes dead yeast., affecting the taste.

While talking, a plate of colorful, appetizing vegetables and seafood special salad and a variety of sausages were served on the table. When it comes to the food in Bloberg Winery, it is even more unique. The star dishes here have long been admired by countless fan circles, including crispy grilled pork knees, Bavarian sausage plates, roasted spring chicken, tuna salad, eight-character bread, etc., which are all talked about by guests.

German sausages are usually named after place names. Thuringia, Frankfurt, Berlin, Nuremberg and other flavors of sausages are all presented in our dishes. This is another feature of Bloomberg. This is not only a restaurant, but also a bridgehead for spreading German culture and enhancing Sino-German friendship.

German crispy roast pork knuckle

What is particularly worth mentioning is that Bloomberg's old team belongs to the traditional German cuisine system. There are three types of delicacies that must be mentioned among them. The popularity of German cuisine perfectly reflects the true meaning of "eating meat in large chunks and drinking in large gulps". A dish such as German crispy roasted pork knuckle is one of Bloomberg's products with the highest order rate. The 1.5 kg pork knuckle is pickled, steamed in a steaming box for 4 hours, and then baked in an oven at high temperature for 30 minutes. It can be produced. The freshly baked pork knuckle has golden and crispy skin, and tender on the outside.

In addition, there is a bakery in the restaurant, where all kinds of breads are made on-site and baked on the same day. Alkaline water bread will be favored by diners regardless of shape and taste. The bread in the beer house follows the traditional craftsmanship of German bread. Unlike other bread brands, almost no sugar is used in the production process. Instead, salt, alkali and a large amount of grains are used. This is why the world is recognized as an important reason why German bread is the healthiest bread. After tasting it, the reporter felt that the slightly salty bread tasted excellent.

Zhang Bin said that in fact, China's catering market is very huge, and the taste trend of customers changes almost every three years. Therefore, it is not feasible to only cook German food. The reason why we launched the concept of "World Cuisine" is aimed at this. Such as shrimp cooked in Spanish olive oil, British fish and chips, Italian specialty pasta, Mexican taco and faquita, Chilean air-dried beef salad, American barbecue pork ribs, Asian specialty Malay fried rice, etc.

Gourmet platters in the beer house

Our unique skill as a "restaurant bar" lies in the accumulation of recipes in the kitchen to cope with market changes. The ordering of the word "restaurant bar" in Chinese is naturally divided into meal-bar. Only when you have a meal can you get wine. Only then can people find that our dishes are very suitable for serving wine, which is also a major feature of our dishes.

In the Bloomberg Beer House, in addition to eating and drinking, entertainment is also essential. In the beer tasting area on the second floor, the reporter saw a stage and three professional hard target channels distributed in it. The stage is where a resident Cuban band performs. The darts area provides diners with a darts experience and is also one of the venues for darts competitions. Players train here on weekdays and hold regular darts competitions.

The Real Beat band, which performs a few nights a week, comes from Cuba, a beautiful island country in Latin America. The band was formed by a beautiful female singer Rosalia and three talented musicians. Band leader and drummer Luis A. Granados is a very talented percussionist. While controlling the audience on the stage, he will occasionally improvise one of his other unique trumpets. It is absolutely amazing.

The reporter just happened to catch the performance that night. The dynamic melody and lyrical and beautiful singing voice aroused cheers from the guests on site from time to time. To catch up with the music of the dance steps, some diners will happily dance to the music in front of the stage, communicating with each other on and off the stage. A warm and cheerful atmosphere fills the entire beer house, and laughter and cheers echo over the wine house for a long time.

Four musicians full of youthful vitality form a charming multi-function band. Their musical styles include: jazz, pop, Latin, rock, Bossanova, etc., which can perform various types of live music for different age groups to meet the different needs of customers to the greatest extent possible.

At the Bloomberg Beer House Dining Bar, the reporter saw that most of the guests who came that night had young people as the theme, including some foreigners. A group of guests at the next table who were holding a birthday party here came from staff of the Thai Embassy in China. Its warm and happy scene filled the entire beer house with joy. They also enthusiastically served cakes to other guests so that everyone could share their happiness.

What was particularly interesting was that a companion who attended a small gathering with reporters that night casually posted a WeChat account of the beer house. A friend who worked in a foreign company immediately commented that Bloomberg's beer house was indeed very romantic and tasteful. For this reason, their company also held a New Year party here, and everyone felt good. It seems that the night of enjoying fine wine, delicious food, and music at the Bloomberg Beer House in Beijing is indeed unforgettable. (Photo and text: Feng Ganyong)
