Thirsty at Home? These Local Venues are Delivering Booze
Even though the city’s bars are being forced to limit seating and must require customers to wear masks at all times, that does not mean the coronavirus can put a damper on drunken foolishness. This occasion calls for a good old-fashioned, no-parents-allowed house party! (Just kidding, parents need alcohol more than any of us.)
Fortunately, many venues have upped their delivery game in response to the situation, and that includes beverages. No matter your preferred poison, you will find something you like on this list of waimai-able wetness and kuadi-able courage.
Cocktails
You could just order liquor and mixers from the nearest import store, but let’s face it, after a few drinks, no one wants to play bartender anymore. Instead, Scandal has got you covered with cans of low-calorie, pre-mixed cocktails for RMB 60 each. The minimum order is four cans, but a 10 percent discount is offered when you buy eight or more cans.
To order, follow WeChat ID: ScandalBeijing and then type anything into the official chat to retrieve a QR code to add the service account. Orders must be placed between 10am and 5pm.
Wine
For a nice bottle of red or white delivered at the speed of light well into the night (well, until 9pm, anyway), the Hulu team is at your service. Wines range from RMB 88 to RMB 288, while Belgian beers are also available for RMB 28 to 38 each. To order, scan the QR code in the image above.
If you want to stretch your legs, Beijing’s favorite affordable wine import brand has stores all over town that are still in operation, but you can also order their bottles online for kuaidi delivery. Search for their WeChat official account ID: CHEERSWines to follow them and press "门店Shop" for links to their JD, Taobao, and WeChat store.
Beer
Slow Boat’s WeChat store is offering six-packs of select beers ranging from RMB 100 to RMB 156, and 24-packs from RMB 320 to RMB 998. To find the shop, search for their WeChat official account ID: SlowBoatBrewery悠航鲜啤 to follow them and then press 在线外卖 in the bottom right corner of the official chat.
Great Leap is operating delivery services on the Meituan, Sherpa’s, and Jinshisong delivery apps, where a small sized can of their Edmond Backhouse Pilsner, Honey Ma Gold, Little General IP, and Silver Needle White Ale are available for RMB 15 each. You can also find 12-packs of their cans on JD for RMB 108-plus.
Also found on Meituan, Sherpa’s, and Jinshisong, Jing-A is currently offering half-off cases of Tuhao Gold Pilsner, with individual beer bottles ranging from RMB 13 to RMB 50 each.
Arrow factory beers can be found on Meituan, Sherpa’s, and Jinshisong. (On Meituan, search "Stuff’d".)
