I'm going to be travelling through Beijing, Shanghai, Xi'an, Yangshuo and Hong Kong and would like to try any local beers of note. I'm sure that each city has a few specialities so if any of you have recommendations.... Also, I read in a previous post that Beijng as a bar that sells Tibetan beer - does anyone know where it is? Thanks, Dave

However there's a small pub on Hankou Lu near the Bund which brews their own beer, you might like to give it a try. Beijing: Yanjing Xi'an and Yangshuo have their own beers, but I can't recall the names at the moment.

Ellyse,

Thanks for the info.After long days walking around it would be nice to able able to sit down and relax with a local beer. We get some Chinese beers over here, but it is not guaranteed that they actually taste like beer you get in China!

I'm sure you've heard of the Austrailian beer Fosters - just ask any Austrailian what they think of 'English' Fosters!

If anyone else can make suggestions - it'd be much appreciated.

There are several kinds of Hans beer: Hans 9, Hans dry beer, Hans draught beer and Hans fruit beer etc. Also you can try fruit beer if you like. Landmark fruit beer tastes good. Here is Hans dry beer.
