Tally's Take
Why this matters
The undisputed pioneer of Hong Kong craft. Young Master earns global acclaim for a mixed-fermentation and barrel program that's rare anywhere in Asia, and its Cha Chaan Teng-inspired sours (salted lime, ceylon milk tea) turn local diner nostalgia into world-class beer.
The founding thesisRohit Dugar left a finance career to build Hong Kong a craft brewery of its own, blending Western technique with the flavours of the city's Cha Chaan Teng diners.
