Today, we’re exploring two of our favorite things at the Beijinger: burgers and craft beer! Huddler has opened a complete restaurant, Jing-A has introduced a special anniversary beer and burger, and there’s a new Sichuan burger at Overtone, among other highlights.

At night, it transforms into Seize the Gin, serving a wide selection of gin-based cocktails.

**Jing-A Introduces Dong Bei 10th Anniversary Beer and Burger**
Last Friday, in celebration of a decade of producing their Dongbei Hazy IPA, Jing-A launched a new beer named Dong Bei 10th Anniversary, a modern hazy IPA. This fresh version is brewed with four Australian hops: Galaxy, Vic Secret, Eclipse, and Enigma, and fermented with LalBrewPamona yeast. It has prominent tropical fruit flavors featuring citrus, grape, and peach scents, with a smooth 8 percent ABV, so enjoy cautiously!
To accompany the new beer, they’ve crafted a limited-edition burger called the Qiqihar BBQ Wagyu Beef Burger, which includes a thick Wagyu beef patty loaded with M5 short ribs marinated in the Dong Bei 10th Anniversary beer before grilling.
For those wishing to sample both the beer and burger, Jing-A offers Anniversary Sets for RMB 208, which includes two glasses of Dong Bei 10th Anniversary, the Qiqihar BBQ Wagyu Beef Burger, and a special ten-year anniversary tote bag (while supplies last). More information about the new burger and beer can be found here, along with details for each Jing-A location in the poster below.

Overtone has just added a new burger to their menu that’s bound to please spice enthusiasts: the Sichuan Sausage Burger. This burger features one of their classic patties made from high-quality brisket, topped with authentic Sichuan sausage, crispy Sichuan pickles, and their house-made mala sauce.

**Slowboat Unveils Class of 1855 Brett Strong Ale**
Last Thursday, Slowboat introduced a new beer to their impressive lineup. Named Class of 1855 Brett Strong Ale, it undergoes two months of fermentation with Lithuanian farmhouse yeast and Brett yeast, and is then dry-hopped during the final stage using Nelson Sauvin hops. Inspired by skin-contact natural white wine, it has a clean, crisp flavor with citrus notes, and boasts a substantial 10 percent ABV, meant to be enjoyed slowly. The Class of 1855 Brett Strong Ale is now available at all Slowboat locations, as detailed in the poster below.
**COMMUNE Launches New Sichuan Peppercorn Beer**
Yesterday, COMMUNE introduced a new beer called Mai Li Sa Jiao, a Sichuan Pepper Wheat Beer. It features aromas of citrus and coriander seeds, complemented by the mildly numbing flavor of green Sichuan peppercorns. With a 5 percent ABV, it’s a refreshing light brew, perfect for spring! The new beer can be found at various COMMUNE locations; click here for branch addresses and contact information.
**Shake Shack Adds New Breakfast Burger**
Last week, Shake Shack expanded their breakfast menu with a new burger named Wake Up Shack. This burger consists of tater-tot-style potato balls, crispy applewood-smoked bacon, a fried egg, cheese, and sweet chili sauce, all enclosed in one of their soft potato buns. The new breakfast burger is available at all branches until 10am each morning.
**McDonald's Introduces Two New Thai-Style Burgers**
McDonald’s has recently unveiled a limited-time Thai-themed menu, featuring two new burgers.
