We just received a sad announcement from Great Leap Brewing that the 2015 Beijing Craft Beer Festival, scheduled for June 12-13 at Galaxy Soho, is canceled.

In their words:

"As you may be aware, large gatherings are being canceled left and right and we at Great Leap Brewing would like to provide a reliable way for Beijingers to enjoy China's craft brews this June, as well as promote the general understanding of craft beer in China."

In replacement, they will be holding a full week of events from June 7-13 that will showcase Beijing's own craft beer culture, as well as breweries from around China.

We'll keep you updated if we hear more.

Boo, Beijing.
