Changs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pf-changs-seasonal-menu) has launched its first-ever specialty house draft beer called the Ha-Chi 5251 Pilsner. The new Ha-Chi 5251 Pilsner is inspired by the very first P.F. Chang's location in Scottsdale. The name is a homage to the restaurant's zip code, while the ingredients are a nod to the brand's Asian roots. The new beer is a [crisp, lightly hopped pilsner](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zing-west-coast-pilsner) that features the signature P.F. Chang’s warrior horse as the draft beer tap handle. The beer pairs perfectly with just about any of the brand's menu items, making it a great option for your next celebratory meal at the restaurant. The only catch is that Ha-Chi 5251 Pilsner is available on draft only. Image Credit: P.F.
