**Drink – Silky Way: A New Collab Beer From Jing-A**
Last October, Italian craft brewery Vetra hosted a Tap Takeover at Jing-A's Xingfucun location, and they have collaborated once more to introduce an exciting new beer, building on their successful partnership from last year’s Silky Way. Drawing inspiration from Italy’s post-dinner drink sambuca and pomegranate juice commonly found on the streets of Beijing, this enhanced version of Silky Way fuses star anise, coffee beans, and pomegranate into a stout base. The outcome is a complex yet well-balanced brew with flavors of licorice, mocha, and pomegranate. This beer officially launched last Friday (Mar 14) and is available at all Jing-A locations.
