12 [AD] Thursday Favourite: Zapfler

By: David A.Howard

It all started with a German guy

MISSING CRAFT BEER

Back in 2013 during a night of drinking local beers in China. Dirk and his friend Rolf talked about missing the freshly brewed beers from the Black Forest area. Rolf encouraged Dirk to start brewing beer and the rest is history!

2013年，居住在中国的德国酿酒师德克.弗兰贺与好友Rolf一起喝本地啤酒时无意提到怀念德国黑森林的精酿啤酒，Rolf便鼓励Dirk在中国酿酒，吧黑森林的味道带来中国。

Dirk’s first batch of craft beer was a Hefeweizen which is one of our best sellers today!

Brewing beer is my passion so I spend a lot of time researching beer specialties and reading every book I can about brewing beer. I’m fascinated by beers that are brewed for centuries and are still liked today.

I follow the longstanding tradition of German resettlers to bring the German beer culture and German cosiness ‘Gemuetlichkeit’ to other countries in the world. Beer changes strangers into friends!

It’s my mission to make ZAPFLER’s craft beer and the German beer culture known all around China.

Dirk的第一批精酿啤酒是Hefeweizen，这是Zapfpler今天最畅销的产品之一！

酿造啤酒是我的热情所以我花了很多时间研究啤酒专业，并阅读每本关于酿造啤酒的书。

几个世纪以来酿造的啤酒让我着迷，今天仍然很受欢迎。

我遵循德国移民的悠久传统，将德国啤酒文化和德国的舒适“Gemuetlichkeit”带到世界其他国家。啤酒将陌生人变成朋友！

我的使命是让ZAPFLER的精酿啤酒和德国啤酒文化在中国闻名。

What’s brewing in

OUR BREWERY

Brewmaster Dirk and his team work their magic in a 10HL brewery in Jintan and a 50HL brewery near Shanghai.

Each beer is brewed in small batches. So, our beer is a true craft!

Great ingredients make

GREAT BEER

A few days a week brewmaster Dirk and his team make your favorite drink in either Jintan or Shanghai. The beers are brewed with imported ingredients from Germany and sunny Australia. Purified water is also used in the process.

2013

Idea!

Craving a good beer, Dirk Frauenheim started brewing in the backyard of his factory.

This followed after a night of drinking Chinese beer with his friend Rolf. They longed for the fresh craft beer from their hometowns in the Black Forest in Germany.

2014

ZAPFLER Jintan opened

Local government spotted Dirk brewing and offered the beautiful Jinsha Park location that’s still home to ZAPFLER today!

Shortly after opening in 2014, the 10 HL brewhouse expanded to 15 fermenters.

2014

Dipping our toe in Shanghai

A little hole-in-the-wall location became ZAPFLER’s first Shanghai location. With 12 tasty craft beers on tap, this location was an instant hit amongst the Yong Kang Lu crowd.

2017

Shanghai Found 158

ZAPFLER moved from its tiny location in Yong Kang Lu to ‘it’-place Found 158. This location won the award for ‘Craft Beer Bar of the Year 2017’ in the That’s Shanghai awards and ‘Readers Choice’ from ShanghaiWOW.

2018

Expanding to Changzhou

A former textile factory called Canal 5 is home to ZAPFLER’s third location. This creative hub along canal number five is a lively place packed with creative companies and cultural companies.

2018

Retail sales

Enhancing our brand awareness and market position by bottling beer for retail purposes.

12 The World’s First Cheese Conveyor Belt Exists 世界上第一个回转奶酪诞生

By: David A.Howard

Conveyor belt food isnothing new. It started out as early as 1958, when Japanese restaurant manager Yoshiaki Shiraishi took a novel approach to dealing with staff shortages in his small sushi joint. He invented kaitenzushi – translated literally to ‘rotating sushi’ – a restaurant style where the fish dishes make their way through the restaurant on a conveyor belt, waiting for hungry guests to pick off their favourite.

回转食物不是什么新鲜事物。早在1958年，日本餐厅高管Yoshiaki Shiraishi想了一种新方法来应对服务员短缺的问题。他发明了Kaitenzushi——翻译过来就是“回转寿司”，也就是一种餐厅风格，可以把餐盘放在一条回转带上，这样就可以经过整间餐厅让饥饿的客人挑选他们最爱的食物了。

Sushi trains should all be familiar to most of you (if not, get yourself down to a kaitenzushi restaurant!), but how about putting other foods on the brilliant belts and letting guests serve themselves? Well, that’s just what one London restaurant has decided to do.

寿司列车对你们来说应该都很熟悉（如果不熟悉的话，那就去一次回转寿司店吧！），那把其他食物放在绝佳的传送带上让客人自己挑选，会怎么样呢？这正是一家伦敦餐厅决定去做的事。

Pick & Cheese has just opened in London’s Covent Garden area – and it’s the world’s first restaurant with a cheese conveyor belt. Rather than the usual salmon nigiri and tuna homosaki snaking through the restaurant, you can instead expect to see the likes of gouda, cheddar and pecorino slowly gliding past you – as well as some cured meat plates added in for good measure.

Pick & Cheese在伦敦考文特花园区域新开张，这也是世界上第一家拥有回转奶酪的餐厅。没有寻常的三文鱼寿司和金枪鱼小吃，你可以在这家餐厅邂逅高德干酪、车打奶酪和羊乳干酪，他们会在你身边慢慢飘过——此外也会有一些腊肉拼盘等。

The cheese chunks are accompanied by condiments, and there are waiters on hand to offer expert tips on wine pairings for the 25+ cheese options. While it might be easy to get carried away, you’re best advised to keep an eye on the number of colour-coded plates you’re plucking off the 40-metre belt – they can pile up quick! If you still haven’t quite had your fill of cheese, even the soft-serve ice cream is infused with brie.

奶酪块配有调味品，旁边也会有服务员为你替用提供专业意见，帮助你选择葡萄酒来搭配超过25种奶酪。虽然这听起来很容易，你最好还是专心看着40米长传送带上你想挑选的有各种颜色号码的盘子——会堆积得很快哦！如果你还没吃奶酪还没吃饱的话，饭后冰淇淋也会注入布里干酪的。

Unfortunately, the conveyor belt doesn’t quite reach all the way to your door in China – but leave it our delivery drivers, and they’ll make sure your food gets to you just as easily.

比较遗憾的是传送带还不够长，还没到达中国呢。但可以交给我们的派送员，他们会确保你很容易就得到想要的食物。
