Crafted – Beer & Co.

Crafted has long been the default answer to where to buy good beer in Taipei. More than 150 bottles and cans sit alongside the rotating taps, spanning Taiwanese breweries including Redpoint, whose own taproom closed in 2024, plus imports, Belgian classics and plenty of fruit beers for those not yet committed to hops.

It's in Maji Square, the container food park inside Taipei Expo Park, a couple of minutes from Yuanshan MRT. Buy food from the stalls and bring it to the tables, and mix a six-pack (15% off) or twelve (20% off) to take away. Note it's closed on Mondays; 23 Music Room is a few doors down.
