Jim & Dad's Brewing Company - Yilan

This is where Jim & Dad's beer is made, so the list runs deeper than in Taipei, with seasonals, barrel-aged releases and one-off experiments alongside the Lanyang Knight white ale and the Hop Bomb double IPA. The family built the site from scratch on a disused gravel quarry and brews with Taiwanese produce, from local wheat to kumquat, guava and passion fruit, and staff are happy to talk newcomers through a flight.

Come on a clear afternoon and climb the tower before settling in: the view runs across the rice fields to the mountains and the coast. Groups should phone ahead, and anyone driving can take bottles home instead.
