Love Shanghai!! you can find some ok beer there...the problem is when you go DEEP...in China you pervs....
just think of it as water...i drank ton of Tsingtao cuz I didnt trust the ice cubes or the water!!! either that or HOT TEA, but not when its in the 80s-90s and humid!
this one sucked ass though!

Snow beer is the most popular beer in China by a long shot and worldwide, I agree its sucks
beer stats:
Boxing Cat is probably considered the "best" brewer in China at the moment and located in Shanghai and started by a Chinese American restaurateur
My wife has been to Boxing Cat, she wasn't a fan, but I've yet to go
I'll be visiting about 15-20 breweries/bottle shops while there for my experiments

had no idea about Boxing Cat and that SNOW was the most popular, I would've thought Tsingtao, but yeah maybe Tsingtao is just on the east coast where most of the EX-PATS are
Is there an underground beer thing there? Brewers like Tree house, OH, Tired hands...stuff you can't get in stores only at the brew house?
If so maybe we can send Jimmy there occasionally to pick us up some 4.5 brews.

When I was in Fuzhou, we mainly drank Tsingtao or Kingway. I personally preferred Kingway, though either is not bad if you can get them cold enough without adding ice. 😀 Think drinking warm Miller Lite!.
Don't even get me started on the Scotch and Green Tea mixes that are big in the clubs. 😱
This one literally fell out of the fridge, so I took that as a sign.
Thankfully does not taste like cabbage.
Label looks more like Brussel sprouts, amirite?
Just ok by OH standards.
@Kirt, you try this yet?
I think they are doing another can release this weekend.
Then there's this-
Pretty damn good, if not great.
Scary thing was how clear it pours- not your typical OH.
Another collab done right.
As always, thanks @soundz

going to find out, the Chinese are pretty shrewd and can duplicate anything as you know
There are number of indie brewers but nothing like here, really looking forward to finding something different
we have family in the brewing biz there and I'm trying to disrupt whatever is going on by introducing Treehouse, OH and Finback to them
also hoping to find time to visit some colleges which specialize in fermentation to change their impressions on beer
my long term goal is the get the folks here to go over to China to do limited collaborations, sick idea but at least I have a dream....
I'll bring back a case of whatever is good there and will be sure to share
