If you’re a fan or friend of Slow Boat, chances are you’ve thrown back more than a few pints of Monkey’s Fist IPA over the years. Refreshing, hoppy, citrusy, the Monkey’s Fist has earned its place atop Beijing’s favorite brews since its inception in 2011. But as with all powerful rulers, there are those who seek to dethrone the Monkey and end his reign. Enter the Imperial Monkey’s Fist IPA. Clocking in at ABV 10.4%, the Imperial Monkey is here to win your discipleship and devotion. He first made his bid for beer domination in 2016, the CNY of the Monkey, and now he’s back for more this summer.

Previously available only in bottles, this time around our Monkey’s Fist Imperial IPA is flowing freely from the taps at our Sanlitun brewpub, served in a gold-plated, jewel-encrusted chalice. (It’s possible that we may be out of chalices at the time of your visit. People tend to steal our glassware and we can’t be blamed for their moral turpitude.)

Whether you’d like to enjoy the Imperial on tap at our brewpub or take a 500ml can to go, we’ve got you covered. Stop by, grab a pint, and drink like a king.
