10 Chinese Craft Beers You Should Try

The current craft beer craze often focuses on the American brewery scene - but let's not overlook the amazing craft beers brewing right here in our backyard. 

说到精酿啤酒，大家都会联想到产自美国的那些啤酒，但是我们不要忽视这些产自中国的美妙啤酒。 

Here in Shanghai we're blessed with Daga Brew Pub (Fuxing Lu near Yongfu Lu), which offers the largest rotating selection of both imported and domestic beers you can find on tap in Shanghai.

值得庆幸的是，Daga Brew Pub（复兴路近永福路）向顾客们提供全上海最多最全的国产啤酒。

Their summer happy hour runs every day from 3 to 8 pm (15 RMB off select beers).

注意他们夏季减价供应饮料的时间的是从下午三点直到晚上八点（指定啤酒可减免15块钱）



Not sure where to start with all there is to choose from? We put our livers on the line for your benefit. Here's 10 (+1 bonus) we tried - and you should too!

不知道这么多啤酒里哪个才最适合你的口味？我们可是拼了命的品尝了十杯（还有一杯附加的）啤酒并总结出了他们的不同之处，所以你还不赶紧去尝尝？
