Beer in China
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Beer in China first was brewed in 7000 BC, and remained the dominant alcoholic beverage through the Han Dynasty, after which it was eclipsed by the production of rice wine. Modern brewing first appeared in the late 1800s, brought to China by Europeans who brewed in its style of pale lager, such as Tsingtao. Both beer production and consumption of local and imported brands grew increasingly popular in the 20th century. In the 21st century China became the world's largest consumer of beer, commercial scale brewing expanded, and craft beers began to spread beyond ex-patriot communities and commercial centers and make inroads among the Chinese population.
