Out of Step Description

Out of Step opened quietly in January 2017 on Sanlitun Dongsanjie, a quiet street leading past Sanlitun DRC. The capital has plenty of nerd-worthy brewpubs, but Out of Step is not a typical one. Rather than brewing its beer here in Beijing, the bar imports kegs of beer exclusively from Vancouver, where the Chinese-Canadian founder is from. The Pacific Northwest produces some of the finest beers in the world, and Vancouver is its de facto brewing capital. Our hands-down favorite is the Black Kettle IPA, which has to be one of the best brews in Beijing, even if it’s not brewed in Beijing. The Lychee Sour is truly sour – but smooth and surprising enough for it to work.
