点评:We had an absolutely brilliant time at Hogs Back Brewery, and while the beer was fantastic and the tour itself well worth it, what truly made it memorable was our host, Mel. From the moment we arrived, he was warm, welcoming, and downright hilarious — the kind of person who makes you feel like you're catching up with an old friend over a pint (or three).
Mel’s knowledge about the brewing process, the local history, and all things hops-related was genuinely impressive, but it was his storytelling and sharp wit that stole the show. We were hanging on every word, laughing the whole way through, and by the end, it felt like the tour could have gone on for hours and we’d still be entertained.
We even ended up buying Mel’s book — not because we’re big readers, but because he was so fascinating. If it captures even half his charm and insight, it’ll be a great read.
If you're considering the tour, do it — and if you’re lucky enough to get Mel as your guide, you're in for a treat. Cheers to an unforgettable experience!
翻译:我们在Hogs Back啤酒厂度过了一段非常美好的时光。啤酒很棒,参观本身也物超所值,但真正让我们难忘的是我们的主人Mel。从我们到达的那一刻起,他就热情好客,而且非常风趣幽默——就像是和老朋友边喝啤酒边叙旧。
Mel对啤酒酿造过程、当地历史以及所有与啤酒花相关的知识都了如指掌,令人印象深刻,但他的讲故事能力和敏锐的才华才是真正的亮点。我们全程都听得津津有味,笑个不停。到最后,感觉就算参观几个小时,我们也能乐在其中。
我们甚至还买了Mel的书——不是因为我们爱读书,而是因为他太有魅力了。如果这本书能捕捉到他一半的魅力和洞察力,那它就一定会是一本很棒的书。
如果你正在考虑参加这次旅行,那就去吧——如果你足够幸运,能请到梅尔做你的导游,那你可就享受到惊喜了。祝你拥有一次难忘的体验!
