The team behind the Clockenflap Music and Arts Festival have teamed up with the Craft Beer Association of Hong Kong to launch Better With Beer, a two-day beer and music festival taking place at the city’s Central Harbourfront on Friday and Saturday this week.

This comes just six months after the Clockenflap festival rocked the same venue, and a few months before the landmark festival returns from December 1 to 3.

Better With Beer will feature more than 150 beers from some 20 breweries and distributors, including Gweilo, Young Master, BrewDog, Carbon Brews and Yardley Brothers.

The best part? Visitors get to sample unlimited free-flow beer and beer-related drinks from these makers; cocktails, wines, spirits and soft drinks will be charged for. And in true Clockenflap fashion, there will be live music, food outlets and outdoor entertainment to keep the buzz going.
