Hey all. It's been a little while since I've posted, because I took a job offer to go teach English in a city called Jinhua, in the Zhejiang province of China. Everything's been going great, but there is one major problem. There is literally no good beer out here to speak of. IPAs? No. Stouts? No. The only beer the Chinese appear to be aware of is the pale lager made from rice. The worst part of it is, the lagers all taste the same and are literally marked as being "at least 2.5% ABV". Well actually, the worst part it is probably that it's driven me to drink bottle after bottle of bai-jiu, which is basically a rice liquor that's about 55% abv and 8 RMB, or $1.25 per half liter. Does anyone who's been to China have any idea where to track down some decent brews??
