Malty Dog Opening Party with DJ Attacks Unicorns

By Jeff Ji and the same team behind my favorite drinking hole Mai Bar on Beiluoguxiang, Malty Dog Bar & Brewery is opening up right the door.

The name ought to speak for itself, but I'll be the first to admit that I'm not very savvy when it comes to knowing much about beer, so when I first heard the name Malty Dog, I thought the place was going to feature a range of single malt whisky. But then I realized it's a different kind of Malt after looking at the Opening Party poster- it's Malt BEER! (Silly me)  *I'm not entirely wrong as they will have a shelf of single malt scotch and bourbons (according to theBeijinger), but the focus is on malt beer.

Teaming up with the Beijing Craft Beer Association (which includes Great Leap Brewing and Slow Boat Brewery), Malty Dog will be offering craft beers on tap and have over 100 different bottled beers on hand.  Which means…!!  That drinks will be served a whole lot quicker than all the tedious cocktail drinks at Mai Bar!

For those who are curious to get edumacated with craft beer, Malty Dog will be serving beer flights.

Beer Flights To Get You Edumacated with Craft Beers

Beijing's flourishing craft beer industry is booming fast and if you want to get ahead of the game, beer flights are probably the best way to get yourself initiated into the craft beer world (which can be both intimidating and overwhelming if you're clueless).

This Friday, October 12 will mark Malty Dog's opening party to the public with "garage, indie and punk" tracks by DJ Attacks Unicorns.

"Toss back a few fine brewskies at the maiden voyage of Beiluo Guxiang's newest hole-in-the-hutong craft brew bar, Malty Dog. Local craft beers / microbrews on tap, with a buttload of bottled beers to choose from." 

• Date: Friday, October 12, 2012

Me, my brother and and best friend during the descent of our decidedly dodgy Hot Air balloon, all the way until we crash into a tree. Commentry in Scottish.
