In the Chinese food market, beer has a place. When summer comes, all kinds of barbecue delicacies are on the market, and beer, as a perfect match, is essential. At the end of the nineteenth century, beer began to enter China. In the following time, various brands of beer took root in China and became prosperous. Whether it is a food stall or a high-end restaurant, beer can have its own living space.
Now, let’s enter the Chinese beer kingdom and feel a different beer culture.
As an imported product, beer is different from local Chinese baijiu, and is favored for various occasions because of its lower strength. Beer has taken root in China, which is also closely related to the tolerance of Chinese people for taste. The unique taste and perfect combination with various delicacies fully demonstrate the creativity of Chinese people in food.
In summer, the crayfish delicacy made with beer is a must-order on everyone’s table in the night market.
