The Time Out Double IPA is a collaboration MASH between current Brewmaster Nathan Ross and Time Out editor Jake Newby (we even made a video about it).

This inspirational MASH is a A double IPA style beer with strong notes of citrus, spice and honey. And at 8% abv, it packs a punch.

Still not convinved? Well looky here: Free beer. That's right. There's one hour of free beer during the BREW's launch party from 6-7pm. If you miss the launch party, don’t worry. During Kerry Beer Fest, Time Out Shanghai will be offering Happy Hour prices for the Time Out Double IPA when you sign up to our official WeChat account.

We'll see you there.
