Instructions
- [Delicious Way to Drink]
- [Label Features] 'Zhang Men' means the grandmaster of a martial arts sect. True to its name, it permits zero compromise, crafting dozens of highly unique beers in small batches.
- [X-IPA (Signature Beer)] Zhang Men's representative IPA. Poured, intense hop aromas reminiscent of pine resin, grapefruit, and passion fruit pierce the nose. High ABV, characterized by a punchy bitterness and intense umami.
- [Pairing] Since the beer asserts itself strongly, going head-to-head with punchy Taiwanese food like heavily spiced 'Mala Hot Pot' or garlic-laden 'Hakka Xiaochao' is the absolute best.
