TsingTao #beer and Chinese food with the Lions club.
@MightyBigCar You a fan of TsingTao? I used to drink it a lot When I was younger, since it was cheap.
@NeuroWinter weeeeel I'm a fan of #beer, and try to match beers to menus. TsingTao is the best Chinese beer in the US. Of course, it's typically the only Chinese beer in the US...
There's definitely better beers available in China, though.
@MightyBigCar I found that when I was in China almost EVERY beer I got, if it was an Asahi, or a Stella, or anything else it tasted like TisngTao!
@MightyBigCar Yeah we never really went to those sorts of places, but I did buy most of my beer from somthing like a 7 11. I dont think I saw Harbin there, I am sure I will be able to find it somewhere here in NZ though.
I am super stoked that there is a Japan Liqour store near me so I can regually pick up speialty Japanese beers from there!
@NeuroWinter yeah it seems like all the upscale restaurants carry TsingTao, Stella, Asahi, Heineken, and San Miguel. on my visits I found I usually had to ditch the folks who wanted to eat fancy, and find a divey place with florescent lights and linoleum floors and a glass front fridge full of domestic #beer . I recall Harbin as being somewhat crisper and slightly hoppier than the typical offerings. Red Star (I think it was the name) was specially bland.
