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.

Now this is a lovely little place in the old city of Kashgar. I expected to get a bottle of the local Wusu at best, but don’t let the name fool you, they have a full on craft beer menu. A step above the normal in these parts. IPA, DIPA, barley wine, an imperial stout, a wild ale and even something that translate says is “tomato carrot squid’. I think I’ll pass on the later. Still, WTF? Guys you know where we are right?

It also happens to be on a particularly photogenic little street with loads of outside seating and some nice chill live music.(just a guy singing with a guitar).

Of course you pay more for these craft beers but the prices are very fair.

If you happen to be in Kashgar and like a decent beer, don’t miss it!

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.
