THE third Jinpi culture festival, a craft beer festival, will be held from July 11 to 13 at the Jinpi Fang (Kingway Brewery Industrial Heritage) Art Block in Luohu District.

The festival will bring together 30 craft breweries from across China for three days of tipsy joy and trendy experiences.

Among the participating brands, many will be making their debut in Shenzhen. Each brewery will offer a exclusive limited-edition craft beer specially brewed for the festival, along with a unique lineup of signature flavors. Additionally, the festival’s mascot, “Popo,” will join everyone for a merry, slightly buzzed time.

During the three-day event, visitors can collect their “boarding pass” and stamps on-site. By completing the stamp collection challenge, attendees can unlock exclusive festival prizes.

Some featured brands:

No.18 Brewing & Co. 拾捌精酿

Established in Wuhan in 2013, it stands as one of China’s earliest craft beer pioneers, widely regarded as a trailblazer in the country’s craft beer field.

Engine Beer 火车头啤酒
