Food and Drink Awards: Best Domestic Product
Beers by Typhoon Brewery
Who ever thought that our tiny little city could produce world quality craft beer? The owner of Lantau’s Typhoon Brewery did and he was right. A pilot by trade, Pierre Cadoret turned his love of suds into a proper business when he opened Hong Kong’s first microbrewery to specialise in English cask ale. Typhoon’s created several brilliant brews since opening in late 2009, including its signature T8 – a honey-hued English bitter that’s available on tap at The Globe. Special mention also goes to the brewery’s Eastern Lightning golden ale, which was named one of the winners during this year’s Hong Kong International Beer Awards.
