Asia's leading craft brewery Sunbird Brewing captured the attention of many beer connoisseurs with its Ondeh Ondeh Porter which celebrated National Day 2020. For the Mid-Autumn Festival, the company debuted another special flavor—the Rose Oolong Pale Ale whose flavors are intended to accompany the mooncake feast.
Sunbird Brewing launched its newest creation in limited batches. The blend is inspired by "the very versatility of Tea leaves" and it boasts rich fragrances of "crushed rosebuds and rare-orchid infused with exquisite oolong tea leaves hand-picked from the Wuyi High Mountain."
With 5% ABV in each bottle, Sunbird Brewing offered six bottles for $55. Given the magnitude and cultural importance of the festival, as well as the intriguing blend, Sunbird Brewing's supplies were, without a doubt, quickly depleted.
