I'd like to try some of the beverages offered in China. Is beer locally available? What about wine? Is there a drink that most Chinese drink?

It's a interesting topic:)
1.For beer. Almost every city has his own brand of beers.Like here, we have Hans.Beijing, Yanjing.Lijiang,Feng hua xue yue.But,There is a exception---Qingdao Beer. It's drank world wide.
2.For wine.The best are from Shandong Province and Xinjiang.Brands like Dynasty, Great wall,Xin tian,ZhangYu.
3.For liquor.The Chinese favourite.You can see then everywhere in the restruant.Cheap or Luxury, they are various.But the most famous are Maotai series,Wuliangye serise.

a drink most Chinese drink should be tea but as China is so huge, the type of tea varies from part to part in China.
and unfortunately, more people like coke better than tea.

For daily drink, you could buy some bottled purified water for drinking with the local brands like "Wahaha","Robust", etc.A supermarket may have a great selection of all kinds of beverage such as carbonated drinks, juice, milk drinks, etc.

Talking about beer there are many different brands in China, like Tommorwneverdie already said.

The best of all is certainly Tsingtau/qingdao pijou!
It is the first and oldest brand built up by some Germans, and they know how to do it!
Brewed after the traditional German purified rules.....it is delicious!

German technique tells only half of tyhe story. the quality water in Qingdao is unseparable element.

I love beer. I can't wait to try the beers you all have listed. I want to try the tea, also.

Thank you all.
