Drink Early, Drink for Less: Group Discounts Available for Beijing Invitational Craft Beer Festival

As the First Beijing Invitational Craft Beer Festival prepares to open Friday evening, some good news for people who live or work near Lido, Shunyi, and Wangjing, or just like to get their drinking out of the way early: entrance to the festival's first session, from 5-7pm, is available at 20 percent off for groups of 10 more purchasing in advance.

The festival will feature established international brands previously unavailable in China, with close to 20 craft beer vendors from the United States, Europe, Japan, and New Zealand, as well as China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan joining in the fun.

Tickets are available for pre-purchase for two-hour, 2.5-hour, and three-hour sessions on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, for RMB 250, RMB 300, and RMB 400 respectively and are capped at 400 people per session. Guests will be provided a commemorative sampling glass to taste free-flow beers.

The whole thing takes place at EAST Hotel Beijing. Get your tickets here. For the group discount code, email contact@greatleapbrewing.com.
