Reprinted with permission from Bicycle Retailer - Taipei show - Wrap up: Beer, Ale and Cider Rule. Trade show days are brutal whether the show is in Taipei, Eurobike or Interbike. So having a stash of spirits, to lift your spirits at day’s end, helps make those long days manning a booth just a bit easier to swallow. But this is Taiwan and Taiwan beer is generally the de facto brew of choice. And it’s a fine brew. But not at the Pro-Lite booth. Tucked in a corner of its meeting room is a fridge stuffed with such alcoholic treats as Bellhaven Fruit Beer, a product of Dunbar, Scotland. Scottish Stout, another Dunbar concoction, and other choice items like Stanford Press, a cider, and the always hearty Abbot Ale. And for those who fear these fearsome choices, there’s a few cans of bland beer courtesy of Heineken. Plus some red wine. | Cheers: 4 p.m. is beer o’clock at the Pro-Lite booth, when owner Steve Fenton (left) pulled out some unusual imports not typically found in Taipei. Joining him are Chris Wreghitt (center) and Keiran Earl. Photo: Doug Mclellan |
