Zhang Men

Taipei


Small on space but big on beer, this local microbrewery has 20 draught varieties. The fruity New England IPA goes down a treat. If you can't decide, go for the six small taster glasses (NT$498). There's outdoor seating in a small front yard. This is the original taproom; there are now four in Taipei, including a rooftop Xinyi branch.
