Homebrew store HK Brewcraft has opened a branch in Tsim Sha Tsui showcasing 200 international beers.

It is the company’s second outlet. Its original store in Central houses 300 different craft beers.

However, says the company, the new shop is the first in Hong Kong to offer 100 per cent temperature-controlled cellaring for beers, which are stored at three different temperatures to ensure an “optimal drinking experience”.

“The demand for craft beer is growing in Hong Kong,” says HK Brewcraft’s Arielle Ng.

She says the new store will also offer the popular one-gallon (3.7-litre) homebrew kit designed specifically for Hong Kong’s space-constrained apartments.

Other than beers and home-brewing gadgets, HK Brewcraft TST will also be the hub for beer events in Kowloon.

The new outlet has already co-hosted the Mikkeller Running Club event as well as the new seasonal launch for rising star Brewlander & Co from Singapore.

A new educational tasting series, Beers @ Hillwood, will be held each month with special guests such as head brewers, brew pub managers and Beer Judge Certification Program judges sharing their favourite beers.

Hong Kong’s Beertopia festival attracted more than 14,000 people last year with 14 local breweries showcasing their brews alongside international offerings.
