Flow Brewing Beer Taproom

Joe Merrell and Tyler Rubin started Flow Brewing (心流釀造) on the motto "great friends making great beer in a great place", which still makes it a rarity in Taipei: a real brewery rather than a brand with a taproom. It rates 5.0 across more than 130 Google reviews, drawing Xinyi locals and beer people who make the trip.

Try Ripple (連漪), a hazy IPA; Deep Chill (深層心靜), a beach beer for Taipei summers; or the Strawberry Cheesecake dessert beer. Four-pack cans run around NT$1,000. Closed Mondays.
