Looking back

The SD Foodie take

Editorial commentary written from Roger’s original photograph and caption. Roger’s own words are the quoted photo note above.

A dark, foamy pint sits in front of a chalkboard listing the taps — a pilsner, an extra pale ale, a Simcoe single hop, a pumpkin ale and a TKO India Pale Ale — with a TKO IPA coaster on the table.

For a San Diego beer drinker, finding a local craft brewery in Shanghai in 2013 was worth a post. The boxing-themed beer names are a nice detail, and the full tap list shows a brewery with real range.

The quick critique

What stood out

  • A chalkboard of house taps

Bottom line

Archive verdict

A San Diego beer habit carried to Shanghai — a local brewery with a real lineup.
