Qingdao bar has faith in China's craft beer scene

China Daily  

Guo Zhen and Guo Zhiyang pose for a photo at the bar. In 2018, Guo quit his job and opened a small craft beer bar called 1919Brew with his friend Guo Zhiyang.

When asked whether this move will affect current customers, Guo Zhen said the craft beer market is still a niche market, but true craft beer lovers will stick around. China's craft beer market has seen fast growth in recent years.
