Peiping Machine Slings Local Brews and Spicy Sausages

Tracy W. theBeijinger 2019-04-02

In the wake of the Beijinger's successful Hot & Spicy Festival, our fiery restaurant coverage continues with this Feel the Burn series. Those of you who acquired a taste for all things hot at the fest can maintain the burn by visiting these chili-rife eateries.

What better way to ease the sting of spicy food than with a sudsy local craft brew?
Peiping Machine answered both calls at our recent Hot & Spicy Festival, slinging sizzling Sichuan hot dogs along with the beers that helped them gain a strong following both in the hutongs and at Gongti.

To be precise: in 2016, the first Peiping Machine took over an old factory site on Fangjia Hutong that dates back to 1949. The owners renovated that space into an industrial style brewpub with 32 beers on tap, half a dozen of which are their own brews like 100 Flowers Hidden Deep IPA, a wheat beer, and American pale ale. The Peiping team
opened a second outlet in Gongti in 2017, outfitting it with 64 drafts that include more imported beers. Below, their marketing team tells us more about Peiping's cool beers and hot eats.

What did you bring to our Hot & Spicy Festival?
Sichuan sausages, which are inspired by our chef's hometown. We prepared two versions of the sausage for the fest, a pork one and a beef one.

What spicy dishes do you sell in your restaurant?
We sell homemade Sichuan sausages and spicy peanuts. Our other popular dishes include Peiping's signature jianbing, which is mildly spicy. The rest of our dishes are paired with spicy chili sauce. The most popular one is the sausage, which is made using a special recipe with freshly smoked meat.

What drink do you like to pair with spicy food?
All kinds of craft beer, of course! I think mild wheat beer goes well with spicy dishes. Cider and fruity beers, meanwhile, would be appreciated by girls.

What's the hottest thing you've ever eaten?
Laozhang noodles at Qingnian Lu.

What's your go-to spicy comfort food?
Spicy frog hot pot.

In one word, how does eating spicy food make you feel?
Delightful.

If what you're eating becomes waaaaay too hot, what do you use to cool off?
Ice cold beer, of course.
