The BREW

Shanghai är en stad i förändring. De karaktäristiska Longtang-husen demoleras för att göra plats åt skyskrapor, och stadens kulinariska upplevelser blir allt bredare. Mikrobryggeriet The BREW har huserat i Kerry Hotel Pudongs bottenvåning i flera år. Hotellet, som står värd för mängder av konferenser och evenemang, har blivit ett vattenhål för utländska besökare som sedan öppningen spridit sina rekommendationer av hotellpuben. Idag anses de servera en av de bästa burgarna i staden.

Deras ”Brewery Burger” kostar 125 kronor, vilket är dyrt för att vara i Shanghai. Vårt besök började med att vi blev tillfrågade om dess stekgrad, något vi alltid uppskattar. Burgaren med karamelliserad lök, bacon och ost var maffig och såg väldigt fin ut med bra kött- och brödratio.

Tyvärr tog den blöta karamelliserade löken över för mycket av smaken, samtidigt som baconet var alldeles för anonymt. Brödet blev snabbt soggigt på grund av lök- och köttsafterna. Köttpucken var lite rosa, precis som vi beställde, men var dessvärre kompakt och hade en för hård stekt skorpa. Överlag var vi inte helt nöjda med den dyra burgaren från The BREW. Vi kan dock rekommendera ett besök om ni är sugna på att dricka kvalitativ öl från ett spännande mikrobryggeri.

In English

The BREW is a microbrewery located at the bottom floor of the Kerry Hotel Pudong. Since its opening the establishment has got an excellent reputation of serving great beer and a high-quality burger. Their Brewery Burger comes with caramelized onions, cheese and bacon, and is quite expensive for a burger in Shanghai. The flavours were dominated by the soaking wet caramelized onions that quickly turned the bun into a soggy mess. The patty was compact and had a really thick crust, and we can’t really recommend their pricey burger – even though their beer is excellent and well worth a visit.

Black Bear Burger is one of the veterans of the modern burger wave in England, and we have tried their burgers several times since our first review in 2017. Over the years, Black Bear Burger has received more and more attention and hype, both domestically and internationally, and today they are one of the most well-known burger restaurants in all of England. They have locations at nearly 10 places around London, and we visited their restaurant inside the Market Halls Victoria food hall and ordered their Double Miso Bacon Burger – the same burger that won them the National Burger of the Year 2025 award. The burger contained double patties, double cheese, smoked bacon and their miso butter mayo, and it cost 15.8 GBP (21 USD).

The burger looked exactly as we remembered it, with pre-formed patties and a pale bun covered in a generous layer of sesame seeds. The bun was soft and fluffy, but just like on our previous visits, we felt that the crust-like amount of sesame seeds took over both in terms of flavour and texture. The meat was of high quality as always and had a nice and potent dry-aged character that they are known for. The meat could have been juicier though, as it felt a bit too compact this time. The bacon was super tasty and crispy, just the way we like it, and the onion also contributed a nice texture. Their miso butter mayo was very flavourful with its buttery, salty, and umami-rich taste, but together with the bacon and the beef, the overall flavour profile was a bit too salty. We would have liked to see some kind of freshness to break up the saltiness for a more complete experience.

We are very happy that a veteran like Black Bear Burger continues to deliver high-quality burgers year after year, and they are still a safe bet when you are craving a really good burger in London.
