I don't really tick much nowadays. Still enjoy a decent beer just as much, along with the community that Ratebeer originally built. I've not moved to that popular app and never will - It's become a monopoly which is having too much influence on today's craft beer scene.

Expected the worst, but actually fine. Better than the lagers for sure.

First things first, they used to brew their own beer here but stopped about a year ago from the time of this review. Still they’ve kept it as a craft beer bar with taps and a couple of fridges. The guys are super friendly and keen to have a chat, through a translate app of course. One of them even went off and returned with local Uyghur food for me to try! It is where it’s shown on Amap. It’s a complex of restaurants, bars and shops. This is not on the outer circuit. It’s down one of the smaller alleys between on the street level.

Nice little place, and the only craft beer place in town. The beer is decent enough, nothing special but what would you expect in these parts. There’s also some more stuff in the fridge with Zebra beers not on tap and some other stuff. Friendly folks running the place really make it, though of course a translate app is mostly needed. Smoking everywhere, but if you’ve made it this far then you know what to expect. Look up “Zebra Craft” on Amap to find the exact location.

Wow that’s some massive tea right away! Green tea, floral, lavender. Full on and maybe a little much but still pretty enjoyable.
