Arrow Factory Brewing
A Beijing craft brewery institution — founded in 2011 in an old factory in the Gulou neighbourhood. Arrow Factory (箭厂) takes its name from the traditional arrow-making workshops that once filled Beijing's hutongs. Their Gulou taproom is one of Beijing's most beloved craft beer bars: low-lit, atmospheric and permanently packed with a mix of locals and expats. Arrow Factory makes straightforward, well-crafted beers without pretension.

How we measure this
Two thresholds are at work here:
- The signature list shows notes that recur in at least 6% of this brewery's beers. A low bar — enough to flag a pattern, not high enough to call it an exclusive trait.
- The peer comparison below shows only notes where this brewery's coverage differs from similar breweries by at least 20 percentage points. A higher bar — enough to call a real difference, not a nudge.
A note can appear on the signature list without appearing in the peer comparison: it recurs here, but similar breweries do the same thing.
