Thanks everybody for showing up at the Boxing Cat Brewery on Sunday! We know the weather was punishing, but you guys rocked it out! Here were the winners of the costume contest. While neither was quite Dukes of Hazzard-themed, we appreciated the extra steps they took to come in some kind of costume anyway. Both won an Enjoy Shanghai membership card each - have fun with all the discounts and freebies at Shanghai's most popular restaurants!

Happy U.S. Independence Day from us at Shanghaiist & Boxing Cat Brewery
Are you ready? We are and we're hoping the weather is too! Even if there are sprinkles though, we have three floors of the Boxing Cat to run rampant around! Anyhow, if you're looking for any info for the party, it's all here! Starts at 11pm, ends at 4pm and all the food, revelry and contests are just 225RMB!
Boss Hogg: Meet the band for our 4th of July party
You've no doubt already heard about our Dukes of Hazzard-inspired 4th of July party coming up this Sunday at Boxing Cat Brewery on Fuxing Lu. We're really excited to have a very talented trio of musicians — they're calling themselves Boss Hogg — performing all afternoon. We recently caught up with Boss Hogg member Jeff Davis, who told us a little bit about the group.
Threesday: 3 Dukes of Hazzard-themed costumes we want to see on July 4
Sure, you could always wear a Western shirt and a cowboy hat to be one of the Duke brothers (and really, the only way we'd be able to tell the difference between Bo and Luke is their hair)...and heck knows being Daisy Duke is even easier, but it may take a little more finesse to win our Dukes of Hazzard costume contest at our upcoming Fourth of July party at Boxing Cat Brewery.

Shanghaiist + Boxing Cat Brewery's July 4 Party: Dukes of Hazzard, contests and prizes galore!
Yeeeeehaw! If there was anything we're good for at Shanghaiist, it's makin' our way the only way we know how - and this July 4 we'll be makin' our way to the Boxing Cat Brewery for a good ol' Independence Day shindig. Last year's July 4 party was a rousing success, if we may say so ourselves, and this year's promises to be much of the same. Like last time, we'll have LIVE MUSIC playing and a BOAT RACE (aka chugging rally) for charity!

The weather held up, Carlton J. Smith made everyone shake their booties, and lots walked away with fabulous prizes (the Crocs had their own cheerleading team). All in all, it was an incredibly successful Fourth of July celebration!

Spurred on by the light buzz from beer we had chugged for charity, we pounced upon some unsuspecting flag-waving partygoers during the July 4 Shanghaiist + Boxing Cat Brewery Party last weekend.

Music: The soulful sounds of Carlton J. Smith and some American tunes besides.

More on our Shanghaiist + Boxing Cat July 4 Party
As you may have read, Shanghaiist and the Boxing Cat Brewery are teaming up to throw one heckuva American Independence Day party! And as part of that, we're having a raffle and a drinking competition... for charity. A little confused about that last part? Here's our handy explanation on how you can get completely wasted for a good cause.
Mark it down: Shanghaiist + Boxing Cat's July 4 Charity Party
It's only two weeks before we light the candles, break out the red, white and blue and begin celebrating the birthday of the United States of America (be sure to slur “meri” to “murr” for added authenticity). Since we at Shanghaiist are never ones to let a good party opportunity go to waste, we’ve partnered up with The Boxing Cat Brewery to host a good ol’ Fourth of July bash.
