Not too much going on in laowai world, given the season, but today does see the opening of the second branch of my favorite store in Shanghai: Dean's Bottle Shop. The original one on Shaoxing Lu has about the best selection of beer and spirits in town, including the best bourbon, hands down.

The new store is on Yongkang Lu, almost opposite Cheers In, that other purveyor of great beer. It's smaller than the original Dean's but has five types of beer on tap and space to lean up against a bar and sink a pint or two. Right now they have 5am Saint, Punk IPA, Pedigree, Rogue and another one (forgot, innit) on tap, but that selection will rotate. 60rmb for a pint, or 50rmb during happy hour. We asked, they don't know yet when their happy hour is. Very soft opening, see. I figure, ask nicely and if it's before 8pm they'll probably give you the happy hour prices.

They also have a large selection of beer and a smaller selection of spirits on sale for drinking at home. For a full listing, click here.
