1. Snow

Chinese drinkers guzzled an incredible 10.3 billion liters of Snow in 2013, making it the world's No.1 beer.

Keen to try it? You'll have to jump on a plane to China -- the only country where Snow is sold.

Snow is produced by SABMiller (SBMRF) and local partner China Resources Enterprise. Last year, the brand had 5.3% of the world market.

But before you buy a ticket to Beijing, consider the taste. Snow is a lager, and a prime example of the mostly flavorless -- but refreshing -- beer that dominates in Asia.

Just shows you how bad writers have become. Using a vague word like popular. It would be much more accurate to say the most consumed, which is a synonym of popular but does not match with most liked/enjoyed/desired (all of which could also be synonyms of popular). It is inaccurate and tends to confuse people.

I drink snow, but would much prefer a micro brew from back home in California.

I think Snow is an okay beer. I like Prince Premium, a pretty good lager. I'm not sure of its distribution throughout China. Maybe it's local to Jiangsu. It is becoming harder to find.

The first time I saw the logotype and the logo of the mountain, I thought that the image was upside down because "MONS" (SNOW backwards and upside down) is "Mountains" in French. I'm sure that the subliminal message is lost on the Chinese afficiondes of Snow beer. It had to be unintentional.

Snow beer is probably most "consumed" during bbq outings. That's the only time I drink it. It's lite and tasty with the spicy fish on a stick or other goodies grilled up. I personally favor Tsing Tao & Paulaner or other German engineered beer which offers a much better taste and more palatable.
When I visit home, I go for the Sam Adams mixtures. They have a nice collection of tastes for almost any beer enthusiast.

Cheers,

Aaron

I don't drink. I don't know how I'll make it another year!

Lager is NOT beer!!!!!! It is nothing but aerated flavoured water.

American 'beers' like Budwesier must be the worst in the world. I can pass stronger water when I go for a pee.

If we are going to talk BEER, then let's talk about REAL beer. Newcastle Brown, or Newquay Steam, or Boddingtons. But puullleeeeaaassseee, don't class Bud, Coors, Tsingtao, or any of those of the same ilk as 'BEER'.

I was drinking a Snow as I checked this topic. Odd.

It's an inoffensive, reasonably refreshing lager. Although to be honest, if I'd known it was only 2.5% I probably wouldn't have bought it.

Tsingtao lager in Britain seems to taste better than the stuff here. Maybe it's my mind playing tricks on me. I picked up a bottle of their stout last week and it was dreadful. Really bad (although super-strong for China, at c.6.7%).

I like a glass or two of good baiju. I avoid imported beers when I'm out, as I think they're way overpriced in the west. To pay the same price for them here is ludicrous. For all the 'craft' marketing wankery, it's just beer
