关于“八乘八”
“八乘八”酿造计划将来自大中华地区的八家精酿酒坊与来自海外指定地区的八家酒坊一对一配对，每对组合都会合作酿制一款倍儿棒的酒款。2017作为开局之年，我们特别选择了现代精酿啤酒运动的起源地之一－北美太平洋西北地区大热的八家精酿酒坊！
2017年11月3、4日（周五、周六），全部十六家酒坊的酿酒师们将集结京城，加入“八乘八”合作酿制啤酒节，届时也将发布所有合酿款啤酒。而且，他们会携各自最得意的作品前来，和大家面对面交流互动！
“八乘八”啤酒节将分为2天共4个时段进行，均为无限量品鉴畅饮。
每个品鉴时段均为3个小时，所有你有足够的时间来尝试数十款啤酒。
8款为“八乘八”合作酿制的作品在活动期间内均有供应。此外，每家酒坊还将在每个时段分别供应2款不同的自家啤酒作品。
简而言之，每个时段都将有40款啤酒在供（32款＋8款合作酿制）
四个时段共有136款不同的啤酒供应（4x32=128款＋8款合作酿制）
周六活动为三个品鉴时段，每两个之间均有90分钟间隔，你可以借此时机欣赏798艺术区众多的艺术展览。

If you need a quick refresher on what 8x8 is about...
Each year, the 8x8 Brewing Project will pair 8 breweries from Greater China with 8 breweries from a chosen region around the world to brew 8 kick-ass collaboration beers. For our inaugural year we're excited to be teaming up with world-class breweries from the Pacific Northwest, one of the birthplaces of the modern craft beer movement!
The brewery pairs will have the whole summer to work together and prepare their collaboration brews. Then, on November 3 & 4, 2017, all 16 breweries will gather in Beijing to release their collaborations, pouring them alongside their own specialty beers at the 8x8 Festival, a ticketed event with free-flow tasting.
All the brewers will be there in person so you'll have a chance to learn the stories behind what you're drinking - straight from the source!
-The 8x8 Festival is spread over two days, with 4 free-flow tasting sessions.
-Each session is 3 hours long, so you've got plenty of time to try as much beer as you'd like!
-The 8 collaboration beers made specifically for 8x8 will pour at all sessions.
-In addition, the 16 breweries will each pour two of their own beers at each session, for a total of 40 Beers to try per session.
-That means you'll have a chance to taste 136 unique beers across the four sessions (4x32 = 128 beers + 8 collaboration brews).
-On Saturday, there will be two 90-minute breaks between the three sessions - check out some of the many art galleries in 798 while you sober up!
What do the different tickets get you?
All guests will receive an 8x8 tasting glass & access to exclusive after-party deals (Friday and Saturday nights) at Xian Bar, EAST, Beijing Hotel.
-Single Session passes get you 3-hours of free-flow tasting during the specific time period listed on the ticket.
-All-Session gets you into all four tasting sessions at 8x8 if you're looking to try all the beers at the festival.
-All-Session VIP (limited to 25 tickets) gets you access to all sessions PLUS an exclusive bottle tasting with the brewers from 7-8PM on Friday, immediately prior to Session 1, and an 8x8 T-Shirt (a clean change of clothes will come in handy by the end of the night).
