Get your mugs ready: Dxcel, City Weekend to launch Beer Jing 2010

-

If you don’t have the cash or time to take a vacation this fall, you can always travel the world of beer here in Beijing. Distributor Dxcel and magazine City Weekend are about to pop the cap on the second annual Beer Jing Festival. Expect a similar itinerary as last year: get a copy of the Beer Jing passport, go to one of the 12 participating establishments (see list below), buy one of the dozens of kinds of beer involved (see list below), and get the staff to stamp your passport. Repeat. Be one of the first 20 people to get stamps from at least eight places and to send a scan or hard copy of your passport to City Weekend, and you will receive an invite to the Beer Jing party on November 12. If it is anything like last year’s party, it’ll include more beers than you can shake a bottle opener at. The event gets under way later this week and more details will soon be available on the City Weekend site.

Here are the 12 participating establishments in Beer Jing 2010:

  • Argana (map)

  • Paddy O’Shea’s (map)
  • Stumble Inn (map)

There is also a huge financial consideration. Any limitation on capacity will result in the share price of China Aluminum (Chalco) and other publicly-listed smelters to collapse.
