FatFat Beer Horse (PangPangBeer Ma, 胖胖啤酒马)

FatFat Beer Horse (PangPangBeer Ma, 胖胖啤酒马) is a craft beer bar and brewery in the Shapowei Art Zone area along Daxue Road, Xiagang Subdistrict, Siming District, Xiamen, in China's Fujian province. Shapowei is the former fishing harbour beside the Xiamen University campus, today a compact district of galleries, studios, cafes and bars that has become one of the city's most popular evening neighbourhoods. The bar's specialty is craft beer on tap served in a former harbour ice-plant building, a setting that reflects Shapowei's working-port past and gives the room an industrial, characterful backdrop.

The crowd is relaxed and mixed: university students and graduates, young professionals, local beer enthusiasts and visitors walking through Shapowei after dinner. The age range runs roughly from the early twenties to the late thirties, and the atmosphere is sociable and informal, closer to a neighbourhood taproom than a club. There is no dress code, and casual clothing is the norm. Music is mixed background music at a volume that allows conversation, so the focus stays on the beer and the company rather than a dancefloor.

The drinks programme is built around craft beer on tap, with the brewery connection making fresh pours a central part of the experience. Visitors often order a tasting-style selection of different styles, such as lighter lagers and wheat beers alongside hoppier or darker options, though the exact taps vary and should be checked on the day. Prices are moderate, with a typical spend of about ¥40-90 per person (roughly $6-13), which makes it among the more affordable ways to spend an evening in Shapowei.

Opening hours are typically from afternoon to late evening, and they can vary by season and day, so visitors should confirm on arrival. Weekday late afternoons are the calmest and best for a slow tasting, while Friday and Saturday nights bring larger groups, and the outdoor and entrance areas around Shapowei are often busy. There is no cover charge. Reservations are generally not required, although a larger group may want to arrive early to secure shared seating. The bar pairs naturally with a walk along the harbour, the nearby art studios and the cafes of Daxue Road, so many visitors treat it as one stop in a longer evening around Shapowei.
