About
The brewery that started Beijing's craft beer revolution in 2010 is still pouring some of the best beer around. With as many as 20 beers on tap, and rarely fewer than 17, we've got the largest selection of locally brewed beer on tap in town, nothing in bottles, nothing shipped from across the ocean, just pure, fresh beer. While we don't have food available, we have menus from many of our neighboring restaurants and can help you order great food like pizza, dumplings, kebabs, or simple Chinese food.

East of Shichahai subway then walk through the Hutong and turn by a restaurant with a large red sign. The rusty brewery sigh is there but you need to know where to find it! Service is subpar but 20 beers on tap that’s great.

Good selections of craft beer, price starts from RMB 25. They don't serve food/ sell snack, but plenty of restaurants, including a good Beijing hotpot and Xinjiang restaurants. You could also order takeaway.
Good spot to hang out with friends. It's also a pretty neighborhood.
Transportation: no taxi access at the door, needs to walk outside of the wutong. 10 minutes walk from the closest metro.

This is the most charming brewery I have ever visited. It is in the middle of the Hutongs in Beijing. The bar is tiny but super cozy and friendly. It has a huge outdoor patio. If you are ever in Beijing you must walk around the Hutongs and then take a break at Great Leap. I promise you will love it!

Still the most charming local brewery I’ve found in Beijing. Planted discreetly in the middle of the hutong lanes, about 200m west of Nanluguoxiang walking street. Yes it’s a trick to find, but if you stumble on it, wow. So worth it. Quiet and dusty charm with all their great local beers. Sit and recharge yourself watching alley cats sunning themselves on the old hutong house tiles. Definitely worth finding if you can.

Best beer in town! Banana Wheat is my favorite. Staff could be a little friendlier but they aren't rude. Great place to hang out with friends. Little hard to find use google maps their directions are more accurate than trip advisor

I ordered the Mango stout and first, the guy over poured and put a head on it hat was the size of the glass, fine. I offered a taste to a friend and he agreed that the taste was “off”. We went to the bar tender and complained- his response was “you don’t know what a stout taste like” - wow, what a stupid reply. We asked for refund and he refused. I said “fine, give me another,” but your attitude toward the customer is not very good. After some discussion he asked “do you want this beer” and I replied “do you want my money?” after which he then refused to serve the beer. No, I’m not inebriated while writing this review. The attitude at this place is that many people will come so who cares about the one person who wants to complain - there are many other breweries now in Beijjng. Avoid this place like the plague!

Don’t show up at 10:32 when last call is at 10:30. You won’t find flexibility or friendliness here. Wish I could comment on the beer but I didn’t get to try it.

Loved this little craft brewery tucked away in a hutong. Went to another popular craft brewery in the newer part of the city, by the Sanlitung Bar Street, and liked this gem here way more!

I have visited Great leap about 10 times over the past year during 3 trips to china. The Honey Ma is an excellent choice, but there are several varieties. last year I celebrated St Patrick's Day here sampling the special beers featured for the occasion, The staff is friendly and helpful, plus there is free wi-fi and outdoor seating.. My only complaint is that almost every time I am there to relax there is some American educating another patron about the American political scene. Please, enjoy your beer, let the rest of us do the same while away from the noise of politics!

Summer in beijing you need airco and cold beer. This place has about 30 different beers plus good food at reasonable prices. It's a favorite of mine, especially the IPAs.
