Slutty mermaids? Zombie pirates? These are just two of the eccentric namesakes of Slow Boat Brewery's current crop of craft beers, which you might find this weekend at the Beijing Autumn Craft Beer festival, which Slow Boat is hosting at East Hotel. Like last year's event, hops-and-malt magicians from all over 皇冠体育app will be there with their wares, from capital standouts like Great Leap Brewing and Jing-A to brewers from Wuhan, Dali, Chengdu, Hefei, Qingdao and Nanjing who will make a special trip for the weekend of suds and fun. There will also be booths featuring homebrewing as well as food vendors including Home Plate BBQ, Hagaki and Andy's Sausage.
