When will I order a glass of beer in a restaurant? Well, when it is hot and humid, or if I am not so sure about the wine list. This happened over the weekend, in a Sichuan restaurant tugged away in the old town of Chengdu.
We picked Tsing Tao from the list, expecting the beer to come in a glass bottle. We were pleasantly surprised when the waitress came with a large can wrapped in paper. The label said “Tsing Tao Original Beer”; it was unfiltered with deep yellow colour. The aroma was very unique. The first sip … we loved it! It had a sweet after taste, strong floral aroma, very enjoyable with the hot and spicy cuisine.
