About
We started Carbon Brews in 2018. Since day one, we have been an employee’s-driven brewery that continues to push the boundaries with our innovative beers. Our goal is to use our creative brews to bring excitement to the Hong Kong beer drinkers which they can share with their friends. Our brewery is located in the city’s industrial area Fo Tan (“Tan” is the Cantonese character for “carbon”!) where all of our employees collaboratively develop and brew ground breaking recipes with our 30HL brewhouse.

6th Floor bottleshare. Thanks to Tips for the Can. Almost clear brown beer, small bubbly pale tan head. Palate is light and semi dry, good fine carbonation. Thinnish malts, a decent creamy sweetness. Caramel and a little toffee. Plenty of hop spice and a mild pine. Some ripe fruits on the crisp finish. Not bad.
