Pearl River Lager Beer – Since 1985

This brew is a typical German style lager so commonly found in China, although this one comes with a 1980’s style ring pull.

Guangzhou Zhujiang Brewery launched Pearl River in 1985 and has achieved continuing popularity with China’s beer drinkers.

As with everything else in China this beer is now being exported across the region but has yet to make any significant impact in the alcoholic global consciousness.

Pearl River is fairly drinkable and I can find no reason to speak ill of it, although given a choice I would definitely prefer a Tsingtao.
