说起台湾的酒文化,首先不能不提台湾啤酒这个已经有近一个世纪的品牌,它见证了台湾时代的变迁,更寄托了台湾人浓浓的本土情怀。据说上世纪70年代前出生的台湾人,几乎都是喝“台啤”长大的,而且和台湾人喝酒,不喝则已,一喝绝对要畅快豪饮。只要酒够冰,在炎炎夏日约上三五好友小聚,一边和台啤一边吃盐酥鸡、卤味或热潮,你就算是半个台湾人。
现今,台湾啤酒已经登陆BC省,在大温地区、温哥华岛甚至低陆平原的大型酒品专卖店Liquor Store都有售,同时,四间大温地区的餐厅包括位于温哥华的Orange Corner台式美食、位于列治文的台湾台北原创花雕鸡和Maji台湾热炒、和位于本拿比的Tea wok也有出售台湾啤酒。大家一边享受台式的各种美食,一边品尝道地的台湾啤酒,就算留在温哥华也可以一尝台湾道地的风味!
台湾啤酒的主打明星“金牌啤酒”屡获国际大奖,它之所以倍受青睐,除了因为它严选欧洲进口的大麦芽,最主要的原因它采用了独特的蓬莱米配方。这种米是台湾一种特有的稻米,米粒园白闪亮,外形如珍珠般晶莹剔透,适合熬粥和制作米高,更是酿造美酒的天然原料。所以,台啤的苦感比较低,口味清爽、口感圆顺,而且它的泡沫相对来说也比较绵密、比较细致持久。
而台啤也充分利用了台湾本土盛产的水果研发出一系列台啤和果微醺,既像果汁一般清甜,又保有啤酒的风味,比较适合女生的口味。
