WUHAN, China (AFP): When the coronavirus emerged in Wuhan and the Chinese city went into a strict 76-day lockdown, Wang Fan resolved to commemorate the turbulent period in the way he knew best -- through beer.

Wang is a leading figure in the burgeoning world of Chinese craft beer and the Wuhan native founded one of the country's first specialised breweries, the No. 18 Brewery, in 2013.
