Trivia

Ranked among China's four great beers alongside Tsingtao, Snow, and Harbin. Go to a local Beijing diner, and large green bottles are placed by the case under the table.

Eating tips & etiquette

Many in China drink beer at 'room temp' (Chang Wen), so it's brewed light to prevent bitterness when warm. Unless you order 'Cold' (Bing De), you get room temp.
