A previous Beerkraze edition in Shanghai

This is Beerkraze number nine, and for the first time the festival is stretching across two complete weekends.

There'll be 100+ craft beers, two festival areas, and two stages, spread across Crystal Bridge's ground level and open-air amphitheater.

Add breweries, beer importers, food vendors, DJs, tastings and games, and you've got something considerably bigger than your average weekend beer market.

International DJs play across both festival weekends

There are two stages this time around, with international DJs playing throughout both weekends.

Things start relatively relaxed in the afternoon before picking up as the evening rolls in.

There'll also be beer tastings, blind tastings, beer discovery games, and interactive activities—so you don't need to spend the entire afternoon standing in front of a tap list trying to decide what to order next.

(Though you absolutely can.)

There's also a pretty decent reason to buy your beers before arriving.

  • 1 Amstel Draft Lager (330 ml)

  • 2 Craft Beer Vouchers (330 ml each)

The two craft beer vouchers can be exchanged for eligible beers at any beer booth at the festival, so you're not tied to one particular brewery.

Beerkraze is organized by Lolypop Events

Beerkraze is organized by Lolypop Events, the Shanghai events team also behind the Belgian Beer Garden.

After eight previous editions, the move to Crystal Bridge gives the festival a larger and much more central setup while keeping the basic Beerkraze formula intact: lots of craft beer, good food, music, and an easygoing outdoor festival atmosphere.
