Jing-A Launches Dong Bei 10th Anniversary Brew and Burger
Last Friday, to celebrate a decade of crafting their Dongbei Hazy IPA, Jing-A unveiled a new beer called Dong Bei 10th Anniversary, a contemporary hazy IPA. This fresh interpretation of the original is brewed using four Australian hops: Galaxy, Vic Secret, Eclipse, and Enigma, and fermented with LalBrew Pamona yeast. It features robust tropical fruit flavors, with notes of citrus, grape, and peach, boasting an 8 percent ABV that is surprisingly smooth—so enjoy responsibly!
To accompany the new beer, they've also crafted a limited-edition burger. Dubbed the Qiqihar BBQ Wagyu Beef Burger, it includes a thick Wagyu beef patty topped with M5 short ribs marinated in the Dong Bei 10th Anniversary beer before grilling.
For those wanting to try both the beer and burger, they also offer Anniversary Sets. For RMB 208, you receive two glasses of Dong Bei 10th Anniversary, the Qiqihar BBQ Wagyu Beef Burger, and a special ten-year anniversary tote bag (while supplies last). Additional details about the new beer and burger can be found here, along with information for each Jing-A location in the poster below.

New Brew, Class of 1855 Brett Strong Ale, Launched at Slowboat
Last Thursday, Slowboat added a new beer to their remarkable selection. Named Class of 1855 Brett Strong Ale, it undergoes two months of fermentation with Lithuanian farmhouse yeast and Brett yeast, followed by dry-hopping with Nelson Sauvin hops during the final stage. Inspired by skin-contact natural white wine, it presents a clean, crisp flavor with citrus notes, and at 10 percent ABV, it is meant to be enjoyed slowly. The Class of 1855 Brett Strong Ale is available across all Slowboat locations, as detailed in the poster below.
