Zhujiang Beer (Pearl River Beer)
広州の夜はこれ！南国の熱気を冷ます「パールリバー」
Description
A local beer brand boasting overwhelming share in Guangzhou, Guangdong (Southern China), loved as the absolute companion to Cantonese cuisine (Yum Cha/Seafood). Named after the 'Pearl River' (Zhujiang) flowing through Guangzhou. Like Tsingtao, it has low bitterness, featuring strong carbonation to blow away tropical swelter and a crisp throat-feel.
