Craft collaboration

Groundbreaking festival showcasing partnerships between Chinese beer makers and the cream of US talent is set to brew up a storm. Li Yingxue reports.

A new Beijing beer festival promises a three-hour, freeflow tasting of 32 different craft beers and eight collaborations between breweries in China and the Pacific Northwest, together with gourmet food and live music.

And this is just one of four sessions being held at the inaugural 8x8 Brewing Project's Beer Festival taking place in Beijing on Nov 3-4.
