Tapping bigger markets The 8x8 Brewing Project was initially conceived as a platform for pushing the boundaries of craft beer brewing through collaborations among breweries from around the world; now it has grown into a platform for breweries to develop new markets. This year's participant, Collective Arts Brewing, a Canadian craft brewery famous for fusing arts with the craft of brewing, has released four beers in China with packaging featuring the artworks of four Chinese artists. The New Yorker said he will surely keep an eye on Chinese craft breweries and look for chances to introduce and promote Chinese craft beer around the world through beer festivals and collaborative brewing.
