Microbrewery in microbrewery style, if there is something like this; feels pretty west coast, wooden interior and big brewing barrels on display... Very good meaty cheeseburger and ales !

MJ Lee

Great vibe for beer drinkers like us. Staffs are friendly and more importantly knowledgable . Great selections of micro brews . Lamb burger is exceptionally good.

Wild Bill

Great experience. Be aware that last call is ~12:20 on nights that are not Friday nor Saturday. Would have to visit again to sample their wide variety. Love the beer to-go.

Louise Chen

Definitely the most popular beer brewery in Beijing. Always packed, and the best beer , great chicken wings in town ! (I'm not a burger fan though, even so many people say they have the best burger !)

Joanna Song

My favorite spot in Beijing ! Try cheese burger , spinach cheese dip nacho , and Honey ma gold. (Don't forget to change fries to fried onions !)

Theo Paul Santana

Amazing brewery ! One of my favorite in China! It's inside the Hutong so it's not easy to find but if you follow the google map direction you will find it easily! You should try all the beers ! Enjoy it

David Chin Seng

Great place first time coming to Beijing first breweries place! Love the beers here, will definitely come again next trip!

Megan Butler

Was amazingly busy on Sunday night. Had four beers between us. The Chesty Puller and Buddha (pale?) were the pick of them. Interesting place but pick a quieter time to really enjoy it.

GiulyGinevraB.

Best place for hamburger , really the best. Best for the beers and the atmosphere, friendly people. Definitely I will come back.

abigail.

Excellent beer , we had IPA number 6. The main vegetarian option is a barley and mushroom patty on a super sweet brioche . Skip it and stick with beer and fries .

Home Sweet Beer

Not easy to find, but worth it! Since 2010 brewing the best craft beer in Beijing. If the door is closed, do not hesitate and knock! Great labels and really good atmosphere!

Joel Savitzky

Great selection and food to pair. Get the tasting menu so you can try all those unique China hops!

Md Wong

This place reminds me of a yard house copy. They do offer some specials: m-f lunch burger with 10rmb pale ale , tue/sun has a special 25rmb beer , and some others I forgot.

Alex Bosworth

Avoid anything deep fried here. Try honey Ma beer . Try the lamb burger . You can sometimes get them to give you a side of garlic mayo if you ask (¥3)

Sherry Ju

Prob the best burger in BJ but considering the standard in this country , it would be just average in the US. Extremely hard to get a table on weekends, nearly impossible after 8pm.

Ross WS

Reminiscent of the beer halls you might find in Brooklyn. Beer quality and service is variable but the place usually has atmosphere.

Lyn hj Cho

A bit difficult to find but worth it. Beers are tasty, loved the peppercorn flavor as well as the honey beer ! Can order food from other places(deliveries).

Daniel da Rocha

delicious food, amazing beer . the Cheeseburger is among the best burgers I've ever tried.

Kia Sen Tan

Onion rings , chicken wings and crafted beer ; match from heaven

Amy ????

Burgers duh, but for a healthy option the Cobb salad is great

Beata Yang

Try their cheese burger . And also go with beer flighter if you can't decide

Derek Wilson

Not quite as charming as the original, but still full of delicious craft beer . Also, stickers!

Sean Robertson

I dream about the pork belly sandwich and onion rings . Better than the burger IMHO.

Kevin Reitz

New weekday lunch special , burger or salad comes with juice , soft drink , Pale Ale #6, Edmund Backhouse Pils, or their Craft Ginger Beer .

Daniel da Rocha

The cheeseburger is so good, as are all beers on tap . Very loud at peak hours!

Katrijn Ganne

Aaaaahhhh the Cheeseburger is heaven! Ask for sweetpotatoe fries , my favorite!

Carlos Veio Lima

Nice atmosphere, nice people, awsome beers . Try'em all!!! But mt favourite is the Hop Good, a double IPA .

Conni Liang

Weekday specials: buy any burger (approx. ¥50) or salad and get a free soft drink or add ¥5 for a pale ale

Alex Ramírez

The new bar manager is very kind. And the beer is great. Start with a taster if in doubt

The burgers are great comfort food for those visiting from the States .
