About Us

## For the love of beer (and cider)

To put it simply, we've come together for the love of beer. Clichéd? Sure. But while other kids were chasing cricket balls and footballs, we were the ones wondering what barley was made of and whether the Easter bunny brought the best hops.

We've come from three continents to make Hong Kong our home. We've dodged darts in the old Globe, sprinted for the last Lamma ferry, tripped down the steps of Elgin Street, and made it out of Wan Chai when we probably shouldn't have. We even remember when the cricket club was in Central — almost.

So whether you've been here since before '97, just stepped off the plane, or have never left — pull up a stool. We've got something you'll like.

## What we do

We've all been there. You walk into a bar, scan the taps, scan the fridge, see the same five beers you've seen a hundred times, and think surely there's something else. That moment when you try something new and go "bloody hell, that's good" — that's what we're here for.

Tai-Pan Beer Co. imports and distributes craft beer and cider from four corners of the beer world:

  • Taiwan — home of Redpoint Brewing Co., the backbone of our core range and one of Asia's best-kept brewing secrets
  • Australia — bold, sun-soaked, and never afraid of a big hop
  • New Zealand — home to some of the most exciting hop varieties on the planet
  • The United Kingdom — proper ciders from Brothers, plus the one and only Babycham

We pick what we import the same way you pick what you drink — taste first. But we also love the stories behind the beer: how the brewers started out, what they've been through, why they do what they do. The characters behind the craft matter to us.

And yes — the beers and ciders we choose tend to win awards. A lot of awards. It always helps.

## Where to find us

You'll find our beers and ciders on tap and in fridges at some of Hong Kong's best bars, restaurants and bottle shops. Or skip the queue and order direct — we deliver across Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories.

Heading further afield? We can also deliver to the outlying islands — just drop us a line at sales@taipanbeer.com to sort out the details.
