If you're a beer enthusiast and happen to be in Central, you won't want to miss HK Brewcraft - a unique half-bottle shop and half supply shop for homebrewers. They also offer beer workshops in a cozy space.

Although a bit hidden away in a small building off a slope, it's worth the effort to find. Just climb up a narrow set of stairs and take the lift to the 4th floor. Note that there is a massage parlor on the lower floors.

Upon entering the shop, your eyes will be drawn to the shelves on the right side of the wall, which display a wide range of beers and cans from all over the world. It's an eye-opening experience to see the vast array of beer styles, flavors, and prices, with some beers even rivaling the cost of wine. You'll encounter traditionalists who stick to time-honored recipes, as well as experimental brewers who seek out fresh flavors and unconventional ingredients. Additionally, the shop offers various ingredients for making beer, such as yeast, malt, and different types of equipment.

To your left is the workshop area where HK Brewcraft holds a series of tasting events, homebrewing classes, and crash courses for brewing mead. Check their website for the schedule and book a private session at a time that suits you best.

HK Brewcraft signifies the beginning of the blooming craft beer culture in Hong Kong. More and more people are starting to recognize the value of craft beer, and the popularity of homebrewing and craft breweries continues to rise. Located in Central/Soho, the heart of the city's upscale bar and restaurant scene, the shop is just a short walk from the Victoria Harbour pier. You can also experience Hong Kong nightlife after the workshop.
