Zhang Men Brewing Company Pubs
Zhang Men is a Taipei brewery with over 40 freshly made craft beers. The Minzu Road location has many taps listed on the wall ranging from a light pilsner to Belgian Wheats to Double IPAs to Stouts to Barleywines. You name it, they got it. A small menu of food is available as well.
There is also a cool location overlooking the harbor at Pier 2. The views are awesome, BUT…. Prices at Zhang Men are notoriously. The ambiance at sunset next to the water is quite nice though. Expect to pay $10 for a pint.
