Best Selection of Taiwan Local Craft Beer on Tap
The BEST Beer Beer Selection From Craft Breweries Taiwan
In about 2008 Eddy was introduced to one of the first, if not the first, American craft beer importers in Taiwan. Once Eddy had the privilege of trying some of this delicious American micro-brewed beer, Eddy was obsessed with the idea of pairing premium craft beer with his Mexican fare as it paired so well.
In 2014 Eddy’s Cantina has decided to take it one step further. Part of Eddy’s passion is finding the freshest and most delicious locally brewed craft beer available on the island to provide to our valued customers. Any beer on tap that you try at Eddy’s is guaranteed to be a quality craft brew with no preservatives.
In fact, Eddy’s Cantina had a custom built Keg Refrigerator, (Kegerator), just to pour locally brewed beer. Each of our kegs is delivered right to our shop door directly from the respective factories via refrigerated truck, keeping that liquid gold as fresh as possible for our ever so important customers to come and enjoy.
Paired with our homemade from scratch Mexican food, the craft beer scene in Taipei just got a whole lot better. It’s really the next best thing to a brew-pub in Taipei!
We are always on the lookout for new local breweries so that we can be the bridge from local craft to you, our valued customer.
Redpoint Brewing Company (紅點啤酒) is the first foreign-owned brewing company to provide locally brewed Pale Ale in Taiwan.
Redpoint’s flagship “Tai.P.A.” (Tai-Pale Ale) is a fusion of American and Asian beer styles.
Of course, their most famous beer is their classic “Long Dong Lager” which we have had non-stop on tap at Eddy’s for over 10 years!

Jim & Dad’s Beer is brewed fresh in Yilan, Taiwan.
Jim & Dad purchased land in the countryside to create one of Taiwan’s BEST brew pubs. They blend American-style brewing with local ingredients like Passionfruit and Yilan Kumquat to create the ultimate fusion of East and West.
We recommend checking out their brewery in Yilan, but if you are in Taipei and want their fresh Draft Beer, come to Eddy’s Cantina Mexican Restaurant. We always have their famous Summer Mosaic on tap, among others.
Tilted Shack Brewing Co. (鄉醞精釀啤酒) loves to bring Classic American Styles of beer to Taiwan.
Founders Brian and Jay aim to provide the best locally brewed IPAs and Dark Beers on the island.
Their “Juicy Tango IPA” is one of the truest American-style IPAs available in Taiwan. Of course, we always have it On Tap at Eddy’s Cantina.
Also, their Imperial Porter, “Shot in the Dark,” is easily the best Dark Beer available in Taiwan. That is personally Chef Eddy’s favorite.
Come down to Eddy’s to try some Tilted Shack On Tap!
55th Street Brewery – A passion for brewing and a love for Taiwan brought this couple from Colombia to open a small independent craft brewery here.
55th Street’s India Pale Ale (IPA) is brewed with Maris Otter malt to give the beer a solid backbone, Crystal malt for sweetness, and Amber malt for complexity.
This extra hoppy IPA comes with a 6.5% ABV, but it retains a smooth, clean, and refreshing taste.
The brewing style and name come from a small street in Colombia where founder and Head Brewer Jack is from! They are a long-running, amazing Boutique Brewery that even does small-batch contract brewing for other brands. Truly amazing stuff.
Taihu Brewing is one of the most well-known local Taiwanese breweries.
They started with their famous Tasting Rooms (Chuòyǐnshì), which changed the game for craft beer in Taiwan. As they expanded, they decided to build an incredible brewery and “Beer Lab.”
They use this facility to experiment with new beers and put their own twist on old classics. Trying out their delicious brews is strongly recommended! They have also just added locally produced Ciders to their arsenal.
Now, they have expanded overseas and offer a full line of beers and canned cocktails in convenience stores and shopping malls all over the island.
Sambar Brewing (Sambar APA) – A young local couple with a dream of putting a Taiwanese twist on American Craft Beer.
Brewed in Hsinchu, this new company started with a delicious Strawberry Lager, then hit the big time when they released their APA Draught.
It is light and easy to drink, making it a lot more “sessionable” when you want to have a few pints.
Keep checking this page as new craft beer arrives to Taiwan all the time and we are committed to providing the best to our customers.
