One of the opportunities I was looking forward to in Hong Kong was the chance to match beer with Chinese food, a surprisingly under-explored area. I believe strongly that most beers go with most foods: but that doesn’t mean some pairings cannot be particularly felicitous, and that’s especially true with Chinese cuisine. China is easily the biggest beer market in the world, almost twice as large as the US, the next largest, and in 2010 China drank very nearly a quarter of all the world’s beer. But annual consumption per head, at around 30 litres, while rising at some five per cent a year, is still almost a third of the US figure (81 litres). In addition, most of that consumption is of pale, undemanding lager.
What that means is that the Chinese DO drink beer with food, but it will be Tsingtao, or Blue Girl (from South Korea) or something equally bland and dull. Roast pork and Guinness soy sauce with glutinous rice balls and stir-fried broccoli, pak choy, mushrooms and Chinese chives. Real British Ales- eChinacities Answers | echinacities. 423707. Britpop Night at Rebel Rebel - Guangzhou Stuff. BEIJING - SKINHEADS MADE IN CHINA. Having previously hung out with Malaysian skins and Mexican skins, we went to meet some Mandarin skins in the form of Misandao, that Oi! Band who recently appeared on the VBS Beijing Underground special. I met them at their tiny practice space in the old hutong bit of the city. They were dressed in full regalia - from the Fred Perry polo shirts and Doc Martin boots to the braces and bulldog tattoos - and were even drinking cans of imported British beers for added authenticity/novelty value.
After watching them jam for a while, I talked to lead singer Leijun... Vice: What's it like being the only skinhead band Beijing? Leijun: We started a band because no one else in China was playing the music we wanted to hear. It's still the same. In London there are some racist skinheads.Fuck Nazi scum. What about Commie scum?
Do you worry that being so outspoken will get you into trouble with the police? We don't have trouble saying what we want because Chinese policemen don't understand English. North West « Posted by admin in North West on November 20, 2013 On the 15th November, 3 Soldiers from 156 Transport Regiment, Royal Logistic Corps, swapped serving their country for the evening and instead served up a gourmet delight for guests at Robinsons Visitors Centre in aid of ABF The Soldiers’ Charity. Hosted by celebrity chef Simon Rimmer, the event – which included a 3-course sit down meal put together by Simon Rimmer, Warrant Officer Chris Green, Lance Corporal Stuart Graham and Private Clare Sampson – sold out within a matter of hours. £10 from every £25 ticket, together with funds from a ‘win your height in beer’ competition, was donated directly to The Soldiers’ Charity raising over £1100 in total.
The Soldiers’ Charity, formally known as the Army Benevolent Fund, is a charity that supports all soldiers, former soldiers and their families in times of need.

The new Bentley's in Soho is doing likewise with British seashore favourites, such as wholesome fish pies stuffed with a shopping list of foods from the sea.
Plus there are new pubs cropping up left, right and centre, from Yorkshire Pudding to Trafalgar with dozens and dozens of imported British beers. Compare this to, say, 10 or 20 years ago, when this scene was smaller and unfortunately, quite average. Co-founder of the Pawn, Alan Lo says, "Back then, it was dominated by English and Irish pubs focused on traditional British staples such as pie and mash, and fish n' chips. What is the deal with Stella? - Beer. "How can an American company like Budweiser, which stole the pilsner style from it's Czech origins and then castrated it, become "the king of beers" and successfully sue the original maker of the style so that they couldn't sell the beer under their own name?
" This is just as much myth as the big brewers' marketing. Anheuser Busch (there is no "American company" called "Budweiser") was formed by two German-born immigrants, who brought their trade with them to America (well, Busch did - Anheuser made soap- probably "stole" a European recipe for it, too). Like other German born brewers in the US, they brewed numerous European styles of beer just as their fellow German and other European brewers did back in Europe and eventually elsewhere around the world.
Just as America's early ale brewers of British birth first made ("stole"?) British styles. Busch choose rice, after research done by European brewers.

Last month, in Kwai Chung, journalist Jeff Boda unloaded 280 cases of beer from the back of a truck and made the leap from beer-lover to beer distributor. These were no ordinary brews: They were some of the best craft beers in the world, made in small batches by Rogue and North Coast, two renowned microbreweries in the United States.
A few islands away, on a sleepy street in Mui Wo, Cathay Pacific pilot Pierre Cadoret went one step further and actually brewed his own beer. Every year, Hongkongers drink more than 100 million liters of beer, the vast majority of which comes from major breweries like San Miguel, Carlsberg, Heineken and Tsingtao. "There's more to beer than getting drunk in Lan Kwai Fong on a Friday night," says Boda. "I grew up drinking the usual beer and this just opened up something more," he says. Selling tea to China: are British products taking over the world? - MSN Food | MSN UK. Zero One Film - Tregothnan There’s certainly no shortage of tea in China, which is why it’s big news that the UK’s only commercial tea estate: Tregothnan, near Truro in Cornwall, has begun exporting its tea to the Asian superpower. At about 10 tonnes, Tregothnan’s harvest is small compared to the world's big producers, but the quality is such that nearly half is exported, including to India and China.
Tregothnan tea Tea has always had to be imported to the UK, but in the space of just a few years (it planted its first bushes in 1999, producing its first cup in 2006), the estate has turned the tables. News of the exports led to a recent invitation to 10 Downing Street to discuss a number of exciting export opportunities as part of the government’s GREAT initiative: a scheme developed by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport to try and boost exports in the wake of the Olympics, Paralympics and the Queen's diamond jubilee.

So, I decided to leave Yangshuo. I won’t get into the multitude of things that influenced that decision, but hanging out with some backpackers instead of teachers for a couple of days did remind me about so many places in China I haven’t seen yet; suddenly – after stopping in Yangshuo with the intention of settling down for a few months – I was ready to to hit the road again after just two weeks, which honestly surprised me.
The main repercussion of that decision was that I then had to find room in my backpack for all the new clothes I bought… it really is a mystery how my 42 litre isn’t collapsing in on itself. I was sad to say goodbye to my student friends and other friends that I had made in Yangshuo, and on top of that I had to say goodbye to another Green Forest Hostel. But the partings went fairly smoothly and there was one thing that made me feel better about leaving so abruptly. To be fair, it is a pretty awesome pot noodle. Yeah… “around”. The Beer Bay.
