Gweilo Beer
Gweilo Beer is a craft brewery founded in July 2014 in Hong Kong. It released its first beer in June 2015.[1]
Meaning: Gweilo or gwailou is a common Cantonese slur term for Westerners. In the absence of modifiers, it refers to white people and literally translates to "ghost people".
Gweilo Beer produces a pale ale and an IPA. Gweilo Beer's recipes were created for the Hong Kong market, and both beers are English-style session beers coming in at 4.5% and 4.8% ABV, respectively. The Gweilo IPA won Best British Style (there are no gold medals) at the 2015 Hong Kong International Beer Awards.[2]
In September 2015, Gweilo Beer started to export to Macau and China[citation needed], and is expected to export to other foreign markets.
