If you don't have a lot of time in Hong Kong and want to try as many local craft beers as possible,…read moreyou can't go wrong coming to HK Island Taphouse. Opened only this past December, It boasts itself as Hong Kong's biggest tap house with 40 taps: and all 40 pouring local brews, plus more selections in bottles. You can just sit there and sample around Hong Kong, from Lamma Island to Kowloon Bay. As many of HK's micro and nanobreweries are too small to have taproom, not to mention retail distribution, this place does the breweries and consumers a great service by bringing so many beers to one location. The taproom is very spacious, and they have a large menu listing today's beer selection, along with a food menu featuring chicken wings and other snacks. Beers are offered in two sizes, 300ml and 400 ml, and if you can't pick just one, go for the flight, six for HK$160. The staff is happy to offer advice, such as what's limited release and likely to run out soon, as well as giving you a sample if you really are undecided. This place is slightly off the tourist map, but just very slightly, on MTR it's at the Tin Hau station, which is one measly stop after the very popular Causeway Bay. Exit at A2, turn left, then turn right at the end of street, and then just a few minutes walk and you'll see the taphouse under the bridge on your right.

I found The Ale Project after researching if Hong Kong had any Mikkeller tap rooms, and although…read morethey didn't, it looked like a Mikkeller run club had stopped by here before! That told me enough to at least visit TAP and check things out. Definitely the vibe I was hoping for, with a variety of draft beers available for a multitude of palates. I love how there's a food menu here too so you can snack while drinking! We tried a few beers, but the ones that stood out were the Honey Longan Lager and a sour Lingonberry Soursop Ale! The flavor combinations were great, and also unique finds you couldn't get at other shops! We ordered some food to eat as well - the garlic fries were VERY garlic-y, and we also got the lap cheung spread on bread. Think of pate but made with lap cheung! Super unique find as well. If you're into craft beers, then absolutely stop in The Ale Project if you're in the area!

So when I stumbled across one (the Ale Project) in the middle of Mong Kok a couple of weeks ago, it felt like striking gold. The place had a great vibe, the beer was excellent, and it was full of friendly people just enjoying the afternoon. A perfect little discovery in one of the busiest neighborhoods in Kowloon, Hong Kong.

The store is on the 4th floor of a building by the street. I found that they had an excellent collection of local craft beers and a good coverage of beers from around the world. They also sell home brewing equipment and different malts and hops; this is serious craft beer store! The staff was courteous and knowledgeable. She recommended an IPA, Si L Dan, which was a collaboration between their staff and a local brewery.

Considering the abysmal state of craft brews in Hong Kong, places like HK Brewcraft become all the…read moremore important in contributing to the drinking culture of the city. I learned only of this place thanks to Yelp and was fortunate enough to attend an event or two at their location in Central. It all starts with education. They've got the documentation, training, and high quality inventory to help make any homebrewer's dream a reality. They've brought in actual brewery masters before to help train folks on their palate (which I could always use work on) and get them started with their home brew kits. The staff is knowledgeable and above all, passionate. They are also homebrewers as well, with some of them happily leading on sessions on their methods of homebrewing. From novices to seasoned home brewmasters, they've got the right tools in place to help people achieve the results they're looking for in duplicating certain craft beer profiles. And they've somehow managed to make it all work, even with a small interior and tough to notice location. A great team goes a long way and I can't wait to see what they have in store next. One very minor request: More Oregon Beer!

This becomes my new love when I saw 30+ import and local craft beer on taps. Combined with the…read moremagical combination of well prepared southern chicken, it certainly made the dinning experience among the best. I enjoy going there when it is less busy, such as I the afternoon. During that time, you might get a taster before finalizing the selection. I can't really go wrong with serving beers when the service provided is outstanding. All I have to say is that the beers is fresh, cold and with great varieties. The chicken comes hot and moist. Crispy and perfectly seasoned with cajun style. Ask for spices as that really spiced it up. I personally really missed the Popeye chicken brand when I used to live in Canada. However, given a long search for good deep fried chicken in Hong Kong; tried many Korean chicken places and the popeye in HK airport, none of them is comparable. Yet the Round House has something way better than Popeye. Luckily, the Korean hype in Hong Kong is attracting the crowds to the Korean fried chicken. Now this local gem would be serving people truly appreciate the lovely married combination of Beers and Chicken.

The imperial Is a little too sweet for me.

The meat is smoked well and is tender and the sauces are pretty good, although the spicy kind is probably my favorite. I really like the brisket which is really flavorful and the smoke rings on it show it's been cooked low and slow. The beer selection is pretty decent-especially compared to some of the other places that say they 'serve craft beer.' What impresses me most is they pay attention to how its served and the staff definitely knows their stuff when it comes to beer, a few of the staff having their cicerone certificate, it's like being a sommelier but for beer. If I have visitors I usually take them here after all the tourist- stuff.

They have all kinds of beers on tap, including a great selection of American beers but I was there to try the local ones, and they had plenty from Hong Kong and Asia! The bartender was very welcoming and when she found out we were visiting, she let us sample many of the Hong Kong beers. We tried an interesting sour trio from Yardley Brother--beers made with Mangosteen, Lemon, and Thai Chilli. I was hoping to like the Mangosteen one but it was a bit too muted for me; however, I LOVED the Thai Chilli sour so I ordered a full pour of that! Other great Hong Kong beers we tried were the Hunk Sir Milffee Porter (made with coffee and lactose) from Heroes Beer, and Meringue-utang strawberry/vanilla milkshake Double IPA by Carbon Brews. Beers in Hong Kong seem to be on the expensive side, although at this place the price wasn't quite as high as others. They also served food (BBQ) but we didn't get to try any. But I'd definitely come back here next time in Hong Kong!

Pricing is a bit high compared to the US craft beer scene but that seems to be the norm for Asia (a 0.4L pour will set you back about $78 HKD aka $10 USD). Seating room is fairly small with seating for 12 max. Although I didn't see a food menu, the couple next to me ordered some pretty tasty looking food!

It's probably one of the most interesting experience of beers…read more Little did I know that the first time I had Young Master at The Globe about one and a half years ago, it was the time this little local brewery just started. Visiting here and learn about the history and seeing the actually steel barrels that hold the beers I drink are pretty surreal. I wouldn't imagine that a little room in Ap Lei Chau was sufficient to brew all the beers to The Globe / Craft Beer & Co. HK Brewcraft, Roundhouse Taproom, The Ale Project, etc. EVERYDAY, plus all the individual restaurants and customers. Crazy. For $150, you could have a quick tour of the place, plus 5 different beers at tasting size. The Classic pale ale is the all time best sellers (and available all year long). The Fussy peach pumpkin ale is a response to the infamous Budweiser Super Bowel Ad that tried to (unsuccessfully) make fun of the craft beer community (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siHU_9ec94c) (along the lines of "we make beers not to be fussed about; let them drink their peach pumpkin ale". I liked that little story behind, and if I ever see a peach pumpkin ale again at a bar, I'm totally ordering it and tell this badass story. The Rye on Wood and Ashes of Time were very interesting too. Both were oaked, but the Ashes of Time had a trace of chocolate favor too. YES, CHOCOLATE. Sounds like the best of both worlds that people never thought of mixed well together, but they did. (And http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109688/, sick reference bro.) My friends actually liked the last one, 1842 Island Imperial IPA. It's definitely the one that got everything right, but thanks to my big night on Friday, I was trying really hard to finish the last glass of beer here, despite it's just a pot. Definitely worth the trip here, and definitely would come back again with some other friends and try their seasonal brew (if you take note of my pictures and other Yelpers', you can see they change the tasting beers from time to time).

I'm a big fan of what Rohit has done opening a bewery in Ap Lei Chau...

Inside a small tasting room, I first tried a beer cocktail made with his rye beer mixed with rye whiskey orange and grapefruit peel-- what a hit! I really like his IPA, which isn't overly hopped, and has a rounded sweetness that appeals to the masses. My favourite however was the rye... maybe because the first beer I ever brewed was a Roggenbier. Growlers are on offer, he also has a bar in Mong Kok which I really need to get to. Fun afternoon, with a beautiful view of the water right outside his window.
