Anyone who’s ever come along for the Friday Night Ride knows it’s no secret. Beer plays as an important part in the activity as the people and the bikes. It’s the perfect lubricant for socializing and creating stimulating conversation.

So when the Beijing-based JingA brewery recently approached us and asked if we would be up for doing a tap takeover we were more than excited. We’re fans of beer, but quality craft brew is a whole other level of awesome. How could we miss the opportunity to introduce to our friends a few new tasty beers to enjoy along with the ride?

Not only will we be offering pints of JingA’s “Mandarin Wheat” and “Koji Red Ale” for ¥30, but we’ll be taking the show on the road. With the ride ending up at The Craft Project, a super rad little space located in Shui Jing Tang, next to Lan Kwai Fong. We’ll have full control of the space where you can expect the same awesome beers on tap. No need to worry about locking up as we’ll be able to bring all our bikes inside!

More exciting is that this next FNR we’ll be working with our buddies in the Big Ten Small Business Salon. What’s this mean? Natooke is an active participant in an events exchange that works to introduce like-minded businesses with other cool companies in Chengdu and sample activities they organize to support their community. In short, expect a whole slew of new faces along for the ride to experience the kind of fun our crew gets into.

We take fun pretty damn seriously and if ever we were fun forecasters we’re confident there’s a 100% chance of a good time. Be sure not to miss this iteration of the FNR, because not every chance do the factors necessary harmonize for such an incredibly fun occasion.
