All the Food to Pair With Beer at the CBD Craft Beer Fest
ANYTOP
安益达
Sausage, sausage, and more sausage is what’s on ANYTOP’s menu, courtesy of “CCGF” Butchery. These include classic varieties like Currywurst, Thüringer Bratwurst, Nürnberger Rostbratwürsten, as well as oddities like jalapeno sausage, chicken cheese corn sausage, and Japanese-style mustard sausage. Perfect for pairing with all their beers.
Barublackhat
Barublackhat gets beefy on their food menu, which will consist of Japanese-style beef and potato croquettes, and beef tongue.
Berlin Bites
柏林百特
Berlin Bites is bringing real German street food to pair with their Beer schnapps: big Berlin-style Döner Kebab plus currywurst sausage, fries and more specialties.
Brew Chief Brewing
大酋良酝
Brew Chief Brewing takes the same mindset they do with their beer – using new brewing techniques coupled with ancient Chinese tradition – to their food. Case in point: their offerings for Beer Fest are a Huiguorou and Cumin Beef Hot Dog. Two Chinese stir-fry classics stuffed between some buns and made into the ultimate portable snack.
Brotzeit German Bier Restaurant 博璨德国啤酒餐厅
For the perfect pairing with their Pils, Brotzeit will have on the food menu curry sausage with French fries and a Thuringer hot dog with French fries. Because, let’s be honest, pilsner, hot dog, fries – is there a better match?
BURGE’S BISTRO & BAR 小伯格酒馆
BURGE’S beer might be going for those European sensibilities, but their food menu is all about classic American bar snacks and munchies. They’ve got fried chicken, French fries, a Slow-Cooked Pork Sandwich, and Philadelphia Beef Sandwich on offer. Pair it with their Wheat and it’s a match made in heaven.
Everest Foam Brew
酔野泡沫
Everest Foam Brew is bringing some fried snacks to pair with their beers. There are French fries, sausages, and chicken nuggets. And being fans of chicken nuggies ourselves, we can’t wait to try them!
GOOD WATER FARM
良水农造
GOOD WATER FARM has organic tofu and doujiang in store, with three different kinds of the former. These are Organic Baojiang Tofu – tofu that’s fried so it has a crisp outer layer and soft interior; Organic Tieban Tougan – dried tofu fried and covered in spices; and Organic Tiegan Tofu – similar to the above but more on the soft side.
Gou Taproom
苟市
Gou Taproom is also home to good, sometimes unexpected, food. Case in point: Gou will be serving chicken tacos and tortilla chips at Beer Fest. It’ll be interesting to see how these pair with their Rice Wine Gose.
Grand Millennium Hotel Beijing 千禧大酒店
Grand Millennium is going the barbecue route for pairing with their three brews - Jinzhou-style barbecue to be specific. They’ll have mutton skewers made with the finest selection of lamb, plus beef skewers, chicken wings, deep fried squid rings, popcorn chicken, and deep fried sweet potato fries.
GREAT LEAP
大跃啤酒
Great Leap will be bringing their hot dogs and GLB BEEF TACOS to the Fest. This zesty delicacy is made using 100 percent imported, ground Australian Angus beef, seasoned and simmered for two hours before being mixed with an in-house Mex-Chili Sauce to create a flavor that’s both memorable and will leave you craving more.
Hidden Beauty
隐果关系
Hidden Beauty has partnered with Bib Gourmand-awarded Zen Sichuan Restaurant to bring Spicy Chicken to the Fest. The base of Zen’s chicken is a spicy rather than thick oil with heavy spices, which lends it a lot of spice, plus a fresh and crunchy flavor that comes from the skillful addition of peppercorns and chili peppers.
HUZI Craft Beer
虎滋精酿餐吧
HUZI is keeping true to their American style and serving up racks of barbecue ribs.
LIONK
狮王精酿
LIONK will do both an American and Chinese option with their food. The American is the American Super Big Hot Dog, a meaty sausage plopped into an all-natural hot dog bun and served with condiments, the perfect pairing for their IPA. As for the Chinese, it’s Crispy Fried Tofu Balls, a savory snack from northwest China served with homemade chili powder and a special sauce, perfect for pairing with their Shitao beer.

Malt Tiger
麦芽虎
The other brewery with a tiger on our list, Malt Tiger has All-American barbecue in keeping with the spirit of American craft beer. Just beef brisket and pork ribs, smoked “low and slow” and done just right.
PandaBrew
熊猫精酿
PartnersBrew
伙伴部落
It’s roasted lamb chops from PartnersBrew - choice mutton chop from Tan sheep, whose meat is characterized by evenly distributed fat and muscle, making for more tender meat.
RURH x Golden Hill 鲁尔精酿 × 秋山艾尔
RURH x Golden Hill will have two sandwich offerings: for those who like a bit more savory with their beer, the Beef Cheese Sandwich; and, on the more rich, spicy lovers out there, the Spicy Chicken Curry Sandwich.
Secret Route
秘密航线
When on a road trip down a road to new plains of experience, it’s best to bring along some good snacks. Secret Route provides with Smoked Pork Ribs. They’re served with a side salad and have two sauce options: yellow mustard dressing and special rib sauce (which is a bit on the sweet side).
Slowboat
悠航鲜啤
Slowboat brings two of their classics to go with their classic and seasonal beers: their crispy spicy buffalo chicken wings, and, a favorite of ours, their beer-battered seasoned fries. Both are great with a beer but if you want our opinion, it’s fries all day.
Toastin’ Bistro
犟进酒小酒馆
Toastin’ is focusing on a different kind of meat – roasted pre-braised veal in three varieties: veal ribs, veal hindshank, and veal neck.
Tough Tongue
硬舌酒肉
Tough Tongue is living up to their name, with ox tonuge as the protagonist of their food menu. Combined with garlic, sesame, and sweet and sour sauce, Tough Tongue's ox tonuge has a delicate taste, with each chewy bite full of juices and flavor.
Triple S
小输胜
Triple S is a Guizhou Bistro whose founder once sold popular “GUI noodles” in San Francisco. Located in the Beijing World Trade Center area, it’s become a hot spot for young people in the capital. Along with a few brews – Goose Island IPA, Rochefort 8, and Delirium Nocturnum – they’ll be cooking up some noodz. More specifically, spicy soup noodles in a signature pork sauce and sweet and sour dry noodles with pork sauce. They’ll also have chicken heart and liver, chicken wings, pork cheese sausage, and Mediterranean beef balls with secret spice powder.
TSINGTAO1903 Taproom 青岛1903酒馆
TSINGTAO1903 is bringing beef and veggie skewers to the Fest. Selected Wagyu beef is sliced into uniform small pieces, then marinated with a special blend of seasonings to ensure that every bite is infused with a rich flavor. The beef pieces are threaded onto bamboo skewers and grilled over charcoal. The skewers are slowly roasted until the beef develops a caramelized exterior, all while retaining their tender, juicy interior.
Vandergeeten x LA PLATEA 万多吉
Vandergeeten is partnered with CBD and Sanlitun favorite LA PLATEA, who will be providing great Mediterranean food with which to wash Vandergeeten’s beers down. On the snack side of things there’s Parmesan Fries, Mediterranean Fried Chicken, Chorizo Bites, and Ham & Cheese Croquettes. For more substantial fare, there are the Piadinas – Italian-style flatbread filled with meat, cheese, and sauces. Three varieties are available: Mortadella, Coppa, and Spicy Salami.
Wild Kite
野风筝
One of the great things about Wild Kite is their surprising food offerings, ranging from pub classics to American barbecue and a few snack options as well. They’re showing off this range at the fest by bringing out their Fish and Chips – deep fried fish filet served with a side of proper chips. Enjoy it with HuangHuang’s Submarine and it’s an interesting British-themed combo.
Xiaozui Baijiu Soda
晓醉气泡白酒
Hot dogs are the name of the game at Xiaozui’s booth. You can have it with soda too – albeit soda of the boozy baijiu variety.
Ye Brewing
野鹅微醺
Last but not least, Ye Brewing’s food menu is a smorgasbord
of options. There’s fried chicken, spicy fried tofu, sweet potato fries,
calamari, and, fusing local Beijing with Mexican cuisine by elevating
the humble 驴肉火烧 lǘròu huǒshāo, donkey tacos!
