点评:I've known the woman behind Growler Bay Brewing for decades, long before she became one of Alaska's most talented brewers. Calling her a brewer almost feels too small a title - she is a scientist, an artist, and one of the hardest-working people I have ever known. What makes her beer exceptional isn't just technical precision (though she has that in abundance). It's the deep respect she has for the craft itself: the endless curiosity, the meticulous attention to detail, and the willingness to work harder than anyone else in the room to create something truly outstanding. Every beer reflects her intelligence, creativity, and relentless pursuit of excellence.
But what I admire most is that behind all that brilliance is an extraordinarily generous heart. She pours herself into her work and the people she loves with the same dedication she pours into every batch.
If you find yourself in Valdez, do yourself a favor: run, don’t meander to Growler Bay Brewing, order all you can drink, and experience what happens when talent, discipline, passion, and heart come together in a glass….then, go and sing her praises!
翻译:我认识格罗勒湾酿酒厂的创始人已经几十年了,远在她成为阿拉斯加最杰出的酿酒师之一之前。称她为酿酒师似乎远远不足以概括她的才华——她是一位科学家,一位艺术家,也是我认识的最勤奋的人之一。她酿造的啤酒之所以如此出色,不仅仅在于她精湛的技术(尽管她在这方面确实技艺超群),更在于她对酿酒工艺本身的深深敬意:永无止境的好奇心、一丝不苟的细节把控,以及为了创造出真正卓越的作品而甘愿付出比任何人都多的努力。每一款啤酒都体现了她的智慧、创造力和对卓越的不懈追求。
但我最钦佩的是,在所有这些才华背后,是一颗无比慷慨的心。她将自己倾注于工作和她所爱的人身上,正如她倾注于每一批啤酒一样。
如果你碰巧到了瓦尔迪兹,那就帮自己一个忙:赶紧去 Growler Bay Brewing,不要闲逛,点上一杯畅饮,体验一下当天赋、纪律、激情和真心融合在一杯酒里会发生什么……然后,去赞美她吧!
