About this episode

The episode features an interview with Akhil Sindher, the shop manager of Craftissimo, discussing the history of Tai Ping Shan and the craft beer scene.

Hong Kong's coolest neighbourhood Tai Ping Shan is mentioned on this podcast quite a lot, not only because one of our hosts lives there but mainly because it's entirely comprised of local businesses, and there is no Tai Ping Shan without Craftissimo. We catch up with Craftissimo's shop manager Akhil Sindher ahead of the shop's 13th anniversary. We chat Tai Ping Shan history, we try some deceptively delicious beers and neighbourhood gossip.
