How to escape {{ in markdown on Octopress?

I'm using Octopress to blog, and I want to post the following code snippet (it's Mustache JS syntax):

```
<ul id="beers-list">
    {{#beers}}
        <li>{{name}} - {{color}} - {{alcohol}}%</li>
    {{/beers}}
</ul>
```

Unfortunately, when rendered, all {{...}} disappear, and I see the following on my website:

<ul id="beers-list">

        <li> -  - %</li>

</ul>

I was not able to escape the {{ (even with \{{, {\{ or something like that. Is there a way to escape these characters?

Thanks.

I'm not sure if SO is the better site for this question

Thanks to another quite similar question (and answer) here, I've found the solution. I have to wrap my code block with {% raw %} and {% endraw %}:

{% raw %}
```
<ul id="beers-list">
    {{#beers}}
        <li>{{name}} - {{color}} - {{alcohol}}%</li>
    {{/beers}}
</ul>
```
{% endraw %}
