Russia & China: Moscow brewers increase exports to China
Malt beer produced in the Russian capital has apparently gained popularity among the country’s eastern neighbours, becoming the most popular export from Moscow to China. Shipments reportedly surged nearly 93 percent last year, RT reported on February 23.
“The Moscow food industry’s most popular product exported to China in 2018 was malt beer in 10-litre casks or smaller, and its export amounted to $14.6 million, which is 92.9 percent more than in 2017,” the Moscow Department of Investment and Industrial Policy revealed to TASS on February 22.
China’s domestically produced brand Snow is considered the most popular beer in the world. It does not mean, however, that it’s known around the globe and popular among beer lovers. Reviewers on RateBeer.com gave Snow beer an average rating of 1.75 out of 5. China’s second most popular beer, Tsingtao, is not much better, as users gave it 2.04 points.
