The 4th Beijing Invitational Craft Beer Festival

Great Leap Brewing is immensely proud to announce the 4th installment of our Beijing Invitational Craft Beer Festival (BICBF) to be held at TRB Copper from March 23 through March 25th. 

The festival remains a door-ticketed event where guests can meet the brand creators and brewmasters of each attending brewery. Attendees will be provided a 150ml branded glass for sampling the free-flow beers while enjoying exclusively paired canapés provided by TRB during five separate three- and four-hour sessions over the course of the weekend. Each session will be limited to 240 people, giving guests plenty of time and space to sample beers from the variety of international breweries as well as get valuable insight from the visiting brewers about their different beers. This year, tickets are only 200RMB per person and get you entrance to the event, free-flow drinks, canapés provided by TRB, and a limited-edition 2018 BICBF glass.

An especially designed, sit-down 5-course brunch paired with limited-edition beers not available during regular sessions will be held on Sunday, March 25th for 488rmb.

There are three options for tickets to the event. You can purchase single session tickets for 200rmb, Weekend passes (good for three sessions total, one Friday, one Saturday, and one Sunday) for 550rmb, or Deluxe/All Access Passes (entrance to all sessions AND the brunch) for 988rmb.
