“Every year there were only two Chinese holidays my grandmother would ask the family to all be together: Chinese New Year and the Mid-Autumn Festival,” said Raymond Kwan, Co-Founder of Lucky Envelope Brewing.
“We brewed a modified version of our Mijiaya Historic Chinese Beer. This version is fermented with Brettanomyces and lactobacillus to add a more historically accurate flavor profile,” says Co-Founder & Brewmaster Barry Chan.
