Beer Smith Brewery- Bejing Craft Beer

This is a brewery inside Hotel Jen Beijing. Has 12 beers on tap and you can see their copper tanks in the restaurant.

–> Panda Brew

Panda Brew- Chiese Craft Brewery

There isn’t a wide variety of their beers for sale at their brewpub. However, you can also try their whiskey too so there’s that.

If you have spent anytime in China you’ve probably seen their beer in a supermarket or two with their distinctive Panda branding.

Maybe not the best known Chinese craft brewery but they are successful and one of the larger craft breweries.

They have no official website that I can find but they link JD.com where you can buy their beer online. Which you can do so by clicking here.

Panda Brew (Brewpub – Production Brewery Elsewhere)

Address: Dongsi N St, Dongzhimen, Dongcheng, Beijing, China
