My PJ Beer Adventure!

Discovered this newly opened place at Mutiara Damansara called Craftbrews. It's located in the groundfloor of Menara Batu Kawan just around the vicinity of Tesco, Courts Mammoth and the Lexus car showroom.

They have outdoor and indoor seats. Since it was a humid night, I decided to stick to the indoor seats. The place was packed with people as it was a Saturday night. The ambience was almost perfect. Lightings were not too bright nor too dark. Airconditioning was just right. I liked the place very much. As the waiter brought me to my seat, I noticed many towers of green beer were ordered by the patrons. What an eye catcher!

This place serves their own brewed beer. They brew it in Singapore and transports them to Boleh Land. They can't brew it in Boleh Land because it's illegal so they have to choose the little red dot down South to be the brewery. My first order of their own brewed beer was the Green Lager Monster. Tried a half pint. Boy was it terrible! It's green as it's brewed with spirulina. The colour is interesting but the whole thing sucks! I don't think it can be categorised as a lager or even a beer! It has a very strong sour aftertaste. I believe most of the patrons here ordered this crap due to its interesting colour.

I couldn't remember the name of my next drink... It's some sort of pilsner, I think... Also doesn't taste like beer. Tried half pint and it too has a sour aftertaste but not as bad as the green crap I had earlier. Had a difficult time drinking it with a frowning face all the way.

Next was half pint of the Wheat Beer or also known as Weizen. This one taste slightly better than both the previous one. But there is a very strong stench of fermented wheat in it. Got to hold on to your nose if while gulping it down. Besides the terrible smell, it doesn't have that bad sour aftertaste but tastes rather like bread... Liquid bread.

Then I tried half pint of the English Ale. This drink is darker in colour to compare with the rest. Funny thing, it tastes just like Chinese Bitter Tea (Foo Char) with gas and foam. Still taste terrible. Not recommended for the REAL BEER DRINKERS in town.

After hours of antagonizing suffering and pain, I decided to order a full pint of Hoegarden beer. Even the waiter was shocked when I asked for a full pint. "Full pint???!!!" he asked with a shock in his face. "Yes!" I replied leaving him confused for a while. The Hoegarden arrived, I gulped half of the pint down immediately cum washing my tongue. It was such a relief when the Hoegarden was flowing down smoothly through my throat and into my belly. My mind halucinated immediately with images of serenity at a beautiful lagoon. The Hoegarden served here is very fresh.

So, if you're looking for a place to drink in PJ with a nice ambience, I recommend this place as it suits for people to chit chat comfortably. Just remember not to order their own brewed beer unless you would like to be adventurous and try it yourself. Their own brewed beer are priced at RM17.00 for half pint. Cheers!
