Midtown Brewery

The craft-beer craze has certainly hit Hangzhou and the standout place to sample some top-notch craft beers is Midtown Brewery. Housed in the Shangri-la hotel, the beers are brewed on-site and are genuinely outstanding. If you need convincing, order the tasting paddle (¥99) of seven samplers, including pale ale, porter and stout. Service is smooth and the setting smart and contemporary.
