Jim & Dad's

Founded in 2015 in Yuanshan, Yilan, by a US-educated son and his father, Jim & Dad's brews with Taiwanese agricultural ingredients. Pours include the Lanyang Knight sour, a sherry-barrel-aged imperial red and a 9.7% Hop Bomb double IPA, mostly house beer with some guests, and the fridge matters as much as the tap wall.

Order at the bar and spread out across two generously spaced floors. Dadaocheng is one of Taipei's better eating neighbourhoods, so buy something on nearby Dihua Street, bring it in and work through the list.
