Jing-A Brewing
Beijing's most culturally embedded craft brewery — founded in 2013 by two expats in love with the city. Jing-A is obsessively Beijing: their beers are named after the capital's landmarks, slang and phenomena (including Airpocalypse, named for Beijing's famous smog). Their Sanlitun and Xicheng taprooms have become genuine Beijing institutions. Jing-A proved that craft beer could feel authentically Chinese rather than imported.

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.
Capitol Punch Hazy IPA
Their beers place in the Top 68% of the catalogue on average, across 3 ranked beers. One clear standout well ahead of the rest.
