Chongqing Beer
火鍋の炎を消し止める！重慶市民の「命の消火器」
Description
A local beer boasting overwhelming share in Chongqing, the holy land of Ma La hot pot. ABV is very low around 3.3%, with almost zero bitterness. Seems too thin at first glance, but when eating fire-breathing spicy Chongqing beef-tallow hot pot, this 'ultimate water-like crisp beer' functions as the supreme oasis (fire extinguisher).

Currently under the umbrella of Danish global beer giant 'Carlsberg', but its identity as the 'hot pot companion' for Chongqing citizens remains completely unchanged.
Eating tips & etiquette
Enter a Chongqing hot pot shop, and cases (12-24 bottles) of these green bottles are always under customers' tables. Consumed more as 'sparkling water to wash away hot pot heat' rather than 'drinking alcohol'.
