China: Shanghai brewers unite for a collaboration brew

The launch Shanghai Beer Week 2013 – China’s original craft beer festival scheduled on May 17-26 – will be celebrated by Porky’s Revenge Imperial Pilsner, a collaboration brew project of the Brewmasters of Shanghai’s three most prominent craft breweries.

Porky’s Revenge Imperial Pilsner will be released at the kick-off party (May 17) of Shanghai Beer Week 2013 with part of the proceeds from its sales to be donated to charity.

The hops, yeast and malt used in brewing Porky’s Revenge Imperial Pilsner were provided courtesy of New Zealand Hops, White Labs and Castle Malting.

Leon Mickelson (The BREW), Teddy Gowan (Dr. Beer) and Michael Jordan (Boxing Cat Brewery) named the Imperial Pilsner Porky’s Revenge as their tribute to the plight of China’s swine population after the recent discovery of thousands of dead pigs floating in Shanghai’s Huangpu River.
