Beijing's original craft brewery — founded in 2010 by Carl Setzer and Liu Fang in a tiny hutong courtyard when the words 'Chinese craft beer' meant nothing to anyone. Great Leap pioneered the idea of using Chinese ingredients in craft beer: Sichuan pepper, local honey, osmanthus flowers and other botanical ingredients. Their Dongcheng hutong taproom — one of the most atmospheric bars in Asia — is still operating. The grandfather of Chinese craft brewing.
