September 10, 2026

Coffee lovers, clear your calendars: Urban Brew Summit 2026 returns to The Mills in Tsuen Wan for two long weekends, bringing Japanese specialty coffee, local favorites, and enough tasting opportunities to fuel your love for the drink.

Organized by The Mills and Biugorbiumui (BGBM), the summit runs from Sept. 24 to 27 and Oct. 1 to 4, 2026, from noon to 8:30 PM. This year's expanded event features more than 30 local coffee, dessert, and lifestyle brands, alongside a ticketed "Overseas Coffee Experience" featuring 10 Japanese brands from Tokyo, Hayama, Kanazawa, and Okinawa.

The main local market at M6 1/F is free and open to the public, while the "Overseas Coffee Experience" is at the atrium on M4 1/F and requires a separate ticket.

An HK$220 Urban Pass includes three 80-milliliter coffee tastings and a limited-edition tasting cup. For those who want to do a little retail therapy, an early-bird bundle costs HK$350 (discounted from HK$400) and adds a mystery gift bag. Just 200 early-bird sets are available online via this link.

Possible gifts include 100 grams of Japanese coffee beans, a Dark Arts Coffee Japan T-shirt, a box of selected drip bags, a cap or other merchandise, and coffee goods from participating Japanese brands.

Week one features Dark Arts Coffee Japan, ACID COFFEE Tokyo, CAFEC by Sanyo Sangyo, High-Five Coffee Stand, Coffee Etomoiri, Nonstop Coffee Stand & Roastery, and Black Cat Coffee. Week two brings back ACID Coffee Tokyo and Black Cat Coffee, joined by RedPoison, Shinkirou Coffee, and the;kokubo.

To keep the experience comfortable for guests, each suggested entry session is limited to 40 tickets. Visitors should check in around 10 to 15 minutes before their selected session at the Check-In Lounge at The Annex M01C, M/F. The suggested time is for crowd management rather than a guaranteed entry time, and admission remains subject to on-site capacity.

Outside the ticketed zone, there's still plenty to sip and browse. With 30-plus local brands at the free market, Urban Brew Summit 2026 offers a simple proposition: come for the coffee, stay for the coffee, and maybe, leave with more coffee on hand.

PMQ Flockfest 2026 Brings Craft Beer and Live Music to Central

Published:
September 09, 2026

If your ideal weekend involves a glass of cold craft beer and live music, PMQ Flockfest 2026 should already be marked on your calendar this week. The three-day craft beer and music festival runs from Sept. 11 to 13, 2026 at PMQ's Courtyard & Marketplace on the ground floor, with free admission throughout.

Organized and presented by Black Kite Brewery, Flockfest brings together four Hong Kong breweries and four Japanese breweries in a "4-by-4" collaboration. The Hong Kong lineup includes the organizers themselves, Deadman Brewery, Heroes Beer Co., and Yardley Brothers, alongside Japan's Black Tide Brewery, DD4D Brewery, Far Yeast Brewing, and Shizuoka-based West Coast Brewing.

Together, these craft breweries will introduce eight limited-edition collaboration beers, plus signature brews and exclusive flavors. In other words, there's plenty to explore even if you attend all three days of the festival. Flockfest also features curated food pairings, with four local food stalls offering special menus and beer-pairing recommendations.

Flockfest, however, is not strictly a drinking affair. The program includes 13 live music acts spanning indie rock, R&B, and alternative — a music lineup that, like the beer counterpart, also bridges the culture between the two locations. Interactive sessions will also give beer enthusiasts the chance to meet master brewers from Hong Kong and Japan, while pop-up stores and creative workshops ensure there's plenty more to do, like shopping and getting crafty.

The festival runs from 5 to 10 PM on Friday, 12 NN to 10 PM on Saturday, and 12 NN to 5 PM on Sunday. Admission is free, while visitors can pre-book an event beer package that includes limited-edition glassware and other perks. Klook packages are also available, with exclusive merch.

There's a lot packed into this weekend at the PMQ for both dedicated craft beer fans and curious enthusiasts alike. If you want a weekend plan that involves a little something more than a drink invite, Flockfest can give you both the drink and the entertainment.

For more information, follow PMQ and Flockfest on Instagram.
