HK Brewcraft

I admit, I’ve never home brewed. The obsessive cleaning part doesn’t appeal to me, and I don’t see why I have to make some mediocre beer when there are so many awesome brews I want to try. I do have friends who brew and I enjoy trying their creation (well, sometimes), I just see my hobby more in drinking the final product rather than making it.
I do enjoy coming to HK Brewcraft for their nice selection of craft beer. They have many local brews, such as Moon Zen, Gweilo and Nine Dragons, as well as Young Master on tap for growlers. There are crafts from Japan, Australia, New Zealand, UK, US, as well as Brewdogs from Scotland and Mikkeller from Denmark. With over $ 600 purchases you get free delivery, and the beer arrived each individually bubble-​wrapped, easy for me to put into my luggage to bring home.
Staff is friendly, and some are knowledgable about the beer and able to help with my selection. They also offer beer classes.

I’m a homebrewer, so this is my go-​to place to pick up supplies. The staff is helpful and they have a decent selection for brewing and a great selection of craft beers. Their beer making classes are popular, so it might be a good place to start if you’re curious about homebrewing in Hong Kong!

Do you fancy doing something a bit different in HK? Fed up of Sunday brunches? Check out HK Brew Craft.
Located at 15 Cochrane Street, under the esco between Wellington Street and Queen’s Road, it’s a bit hard to find (up on the fourth floor of an old building), so look out for the lady holding the sign outside. However, once inside, you will be greeted with wall to wall beers and beer brewing supplies.
HK Brew Craft run 3 hour brewing sessions, where you will make your own beer from scratch. We had an expert called Chris who made the process so simple. The session is around HKD600, and you have the option to add about HKD300 to get the brewing kit to finish your beer at home (it does take a few more weeks of fermentation etc.). Throughout the session, Chris got us to sample a load of different craft beers from around the world, taking us on a real taste journey. Needless to say, the brew may not have been the best we could make as we did end up a bit «distracted» by the samplers!
As well as the courses, the shop sells loads of different brewing kits and accessories, so you can take you new found talents home. There are also a plethora of different craft beers to buy from all over the world, including local Hong Kong brews.
The team at HK Brew Craft are fantastic. They are real experts in the field, so whether it’s home brewing or just brew tasting you want, go an pay them a visit for great advice and purchases.
