2012 Oct 11 Malty Dog Opens on Beiluogu Xiang
The latest player in the Beijing suds game is Malty Dog Bar & Brewery. They'll start tapping the kegs and popping open the bottles at their opening party this Friday, October 12.
The man behind this latest Beiluogu Xiang project is Jeff Ji of Mai Bar, which is situated at the top of the same lane. In this new venue, he's trading in the cocktails and shakers for beers and brewing equipment
If the name didn't already make it clear, this bar will focus on all things malted. Fridges are stocked with a wide range of imported beers, a number Jeff hopes will eventually top a hundred. Taps at the bar will dispense local craft ales brewed by Jeff and other Beijing brewers. Some of Jeff's own beers will include a Belgium Wheat, a honey lemon basil ale, an espresso stout and a spiced ale called "Christmas in July." Rounding out the tipple choices are a shelf of single malt scotch and bourbons.
Malty Dog Bar & Brewery. Tue-Fri 6pm-midnight Sat-Sun 1pm-midnight. 51 Beiluogu Xiang, Dongcheng District (no tel) 东城区北锣鼓巷51号

Out Now – the Beijinger April 2013 – The Eat is On
This month’s Cover Feature celebrates the diversity of Chinese cuisine and the finest examples of what can be enjoyed right here in Beijing. We asked two food experts for their picks and we asked them to go beyond the city’s provincial offices and look a little deeper. If you want to eat your way around China without leaving the comfort of the outer Ring Road then you have a brand new handy guide. The eat is on.
Normally our April issue is devoted to our Annual Reader Restaurant Awards. We’ve taken a different approach this year. You can find all of the winners listed in the magazine but all of the in-depth coverage is on our blog. That’s where you’ll find everything you could possibly want to know about the Awards, including our Experts’ Picks.
Out Now: the Beijinger December 2012 - A Dog's Life
It often seems that there’s no love for dogs in this city. We’ve found out that’s not the case but there are a whole lot of canines that still need someone to love them. Without being all sentimental (although it is that time of year) we want to help those of you who have the time and money to help our four-legged friends find a new home. This month’s Cover Feature highlights the plight of dogs, let’s you know how you can help and explains exactly what you’re getting in for if you’re thinking about getting a new best friend. You could even be lucky enough to take home our cover star.
Malt Reality: Beiluogu Xiang's Bar & Brewery
Malt’s the name of the game at Malty Dog Bar & Brewery, where dimmed lightbulbs, wooden furnishings and an exposed brick bar finally gives beer the type of venue that has more often been reserved for wines and top-shelf cocktails (like Mai Bar, another project by owner Jeff Ji). This will cheer anyone who’s looking for a quiet spot to sip and savor a craft brew, bottled beer or tumbler of whiskey (neat or on the rocks).
Out Now - the Beijinger - August 2012: The Hair Issue
Beijing’s a scary place. Expats have to deal with the language barrier, the throngs of people, and the obnoxious pop music blasting away at full volume – and that’s just the hair salons.
In all seriousness, whether you’re here in Beijing for a good time or a long time, there comes a day when you wake up and realize that you’re overdue for a haircut. Where to go? Who to trust?

honey lemon basil ale sounds f***ing disgusting. This craft beer BS has gone too far.

Re: Malty Dog Opens on Beiluogu Xiang
Wow, they could have at least come up with their own name rather than ripping off of one of Slow Boat's ales. (Malty Dog Red Ale)
I guess imitation is the highest form of flattery in this case?

Re: Malty Dog Opens on Beiluogu Xiang
Wow, that's even worse than ripping off the name of one of Slow Boat's brews.
They even stole the logo from someone else? Come on, be original!

Re: Malty Dog Opens on Beiluogu Xiang
For those that don't know Jeff Ji's (owner of Mai bar and Malty Dog) history, he started out at the Apothecary and worked just a few weeks before ripping off the recipes and starting Mai bar with an almost identical drink menu. Not satisfied with the depths of his morality, he stole the name of his bar from Slow Boat's "Malty Dog Red Ale". Afterwards he Google'd the name and ripped off the logo from an unsuspecting brewery in Michigan.
If you're that hard up for a decent cocktail go to Mao Mao Chong or Glen or Ichikura or Apothecary instead.
Don't support these thieves!
