Shuangjing Getting More Pizza, Beer and Exclamation Points

Conspiracy nutters take note: something's going down in Shuangjing and it involves a double dose of exclamation points, pizza and beer. That is to say, delivery stars Gung Ho! Pizza are opening up in the area next week, and Bang! Bang! Pizza now has Slow Boat Brewery on tap.

Gung Ho! is raring up to open its Shuangjing location on Wednesday, June 6, but they're itching to kick things off a bit early with a meet the neighbors night at The Brick on Monday, June 4 at 6pm. Just in case you're a shy lot, they're plotting to entice you with free pizza, cheap drinks and giveaways.

Meanwhile, you can now pair your pizzas with Slow Boat at Bang! Bang!. Since the joint is the eighth distribution outlet for the brewery, they're planning a "Lucky 8" party on July 8. I know, I know, few of us plan that far ahead, but you'll want to mark your calendars for this one because they'll be offering a "bang"-up deal of three slow boat beers and a pizza for RMB 88.

I've been sitting around with my tin foil hat trying to form a mash-up of the relevant company names: gung, ho, brick, bang, slow and boat, but most of them have struck me as wildly inappropriate, so I'll just leave it to your imagination.

Anyway, while we're on the topic of beer, don't forget about Beijing's first Craft Beer Festival in Dashilar Hutong on Saturday. RMB 200 for 15 tasters and two glasses.
