Three Highlights for the Upcoming Week in Beijing (July 7-13)

      Watermelon wheat, Yanjing beer, and soul music are on the agenda this week...

      **Drink – Beijing Bikini 11.0 at Jing-A**

      The iconic Jing-A Beijing Bikini, a watermelon-infused wheat beer, has returned for its 11th edition. Like the unsightly summer tradition it’s named after, this brew has become somewhat of a tradition itself and is definitely worth trying each summer. The watermelons are sourced from Lao Song, known as the Watermelon King of Daxing, and they lend a semi-sweet finish to this classic easy-drinking ale, making this Beijing Bikini far more enjoyable than its namesake.

      Jing-A's Beijing Bikini 11.0 is currently available until Friday, July 25, at all Jing-A locations. Click here for more information.

      **Listen – Sweet Soul Music at Celestial**

      Every Thursday evening at Beixinqiao's music bar Celestial, catch the duo of Steinar and Toby as they breathe life into soul music. With Steinar’s powerful vocals and Toby’s guitar mastery, they create captivating harmonies and a dynamic blend of rock, soul, and African rhythms. It’s an intimate musical experience that draws you in with each note.

      Sweet Soul Music with the Steinar and Toby Duo takes place every Thursday night at 9pm at Celestial. Admission is free.
