Taipei
This small bar has a wall of bottled craft beers, four on tap, and different offers Tuesdays to Fridays. You'll find a good range of Taiwan brews (Red Point and 3 Giants, for example) along with Belgian and US beers. If you're in Maji Square and thirsty, Crafted is not a bad choice.
To get here, enter Expo Park from Yuanshan MRT and turn right when you see Maji Square. The bar is on the right about 100m inside, not far from the carousel. There's another branch in Zhishan.
