Gweilo Beer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gweilo Beer (Chinese: 鬼佬啤酒) is a craft brewery founded in July 2014 in Hong Kong. It released its first beer in June 2015.[1]
Gweilo Beer was established by Ian and Emily Jebbitt and Joseph Gould in July 2015.[2] The three founders are from Britain.[3][4] 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 chap".[3] Gweilo Beer became Hong Kong's largest craft-beer brewery in 2018 after opening a factory in Fo Tan.[5] The venue used a canning device from Italy that cost US$1.2 million and had an hourly manufacturing capacity of 6,000 cans.[5]
