China Craft Beer Week, organized by Slow Boat Brewery, kicks off this Friday, September 23 and goes until Friday, September 30! Fans of local and far away Chinese craft beer have their work cut out for them, as they will have 49 beers to try across 6 local host breweries. Special deals, lucky draw prizes and more await those that venture out and try them all!
Here at Arrow Factory Brewing, we’re excited to be hosting 4 amazing beers from around China. At our Liangma River location we have two names from Wuhan synonymous with craft beer in that neck of the woods: No. 18 Brewpub’s “Film. G. Milk Stout”, and Bubble Lab Brewing Co.’s Double IPA! Meanwhile, at the Taproom AKA the "ol’ beer shed", we’ve got two southern heavy-hitters: Master Gao of Nanjing sent his Imperial Stout with a hefty 9.2% ABV, and Boxing Cat of Shanghai dropped off their Sugar Momma Imperial Porter, which weighed in at a whopping 11.2%.
“What’s that about the deals, prizes, and other great news” You’re asking? Well for the for the entire China Craft Beer Week, all of our guest beers are priced at a festival-friendly 35 RMB per serving. On top of that, four of our own beers are part of the festival event and served at 35 RMB each: Longbowmen English Ale, Flying V American Wheat, Man with the Golden Hop Country Ale, and the Guanxi Pale Ale. Plus, Arrow Factory along with Slow Boat and other host breweries are giving away prizes for those ambitious enough to drink all the festival beers! Think marathon, not sprint. You have one week starting tomorrow night! More details tomorrow on how to win...
The Festival kicks off Friday, but Saturday night, September 24, is our big celebration at our Liangma River location where you can enjoy those great beers with some great music! Starting at 9:30 PM, we have our friend Jason laying down another one of his soul-infused DJ sessions. Jason, also known as Jay 1,2 has been well known in the Beijing music scene since arriving in 2007 - and he’s no stranger to craft beer events, having played at last year’s Slow Boat Autumn Craft Beer Festival and our own That’s Beijing Summer Sundowner.
Jay 1,2's eclectic selections of blending deep house, funk, disco, afro-beat, northern soul, rarities and golden age hip-hop always gets the crowd going. Jay 1,2's musical style reflects his eclectic taste. Mixing Muddy Waters with Wu-Tang Clan is not out of the ordinary. "For me, it's all about mood and a deep, hypnotic groove... playing those tracks that get you tapping your feet and nodding your head without you realizing it, regardless of genre, tempo, style, or release date.” Be sure to come to Arrow Factory Saturday night, when we’ve not only got amazing craft beer from around China, but also great beats to go down with it!
