Do you miss Beertopia already? I guess we all do. Such a huge festival has reminded us how much Hong Kongers love craft beer and how unique it is. While we are waiting for the next Beertopia to come, why don’t we try some of the best craft beer in the local brew pubs first and let the delights continue to flood this city?
- The Ale Project (TAP)
Located in Mong Kok, one of the most crowded and busiest district in Hong Kong, The Ale Project is the first craft beer focused taproom in Kowloon.

TAP is bringing beer appreciation to a brand new level by pouring an extensive selection of fresh, local brews including the full selection from Young Master Ales and select imports that have been treated with the highest standards of care during transportation and storage.
What else? TAP has also invested in the most advanced beer dispensing system in town! That’s why its beer is stored and poured in the best condition all the time. This is the passion towards craft beer that you can’t find in anywhere else. No wonder it is always packed with diversified expats, tourists and locals every night.
