Hot on the heels of our Burger Festival, two beer festivals now head our way, with one taking place this Dragon Boat holiday.

The first is Great Leap Brewing's Fourth Beijing Craft Beer Festival, which makes its triumphant return on June 10 (1pm-11pm) and June 11 (12pm-10pm) at Galaxy Soho. Fifteen China-based breweries as well as the Beijing Homebrewing Society will be in attendance to help you gulp down the sunshine and put a nice hazy glow on the weekend. There'll also be food, bands, and DJs. They expect approximately 8,000 people to attend, and there is no entrance fee. We'll update on specifics closer to the fest.

 

Represented at the festival are:

  • Great Leap Brewing (Beijing)
  • Arrow Factory Brewing (Beijing)
  • Jing A (Beijing)
  • Slow Boat (Beijing)
  • N Beer (Beijing)
  • Panda Brewing (Beijing)
  • Boxing Cat (Shanghai)           
  • Guangtu Brewing (Shanghai)          
  • Bad Monkey (Yunnan) 
  • Le Blé D’or (Taiwan)

If you're on vacation during the long weekend, don’t worry, as you'll still be able to attend Hops Magazine's Premium Beer Festival, which lasts three days between July 1 to 3 at MGM Beach (formerly Uper+). Expect 80 top-class beers from all over the world, and of course, plenty of mouthwatering food to line your stomach. They've also invited musicians, DJs, entertainers, and dancers to perform.
