So if this is a Chinese light beer, does that mean there’s no lead in it??

Chinese ‘Snow’ beer has less formaldehyde
in it than some of the lesser brands.
They still put the equivalent of embalming fluid
in Chinese beer, but not as much as they used to.

“Anyone here ever drink this stuff?”

Not personally but I imagine this brew must have the competitive advantage of having less formaldehyde in it than some of the lesser brands. Yes, they still put the equivalent of embalming fluid in Chinese beer, but not as much as they used to. Although some Chinese breweries claim that they have discontinued the practice, there are a number of beers sold in China that are very cheap and low quality — so expect 90% of all Chinese beers to contain it.

Everything else aside, Snow is a good name for a beer, I think.

I’m sorry, it’s just wrong that beer is being measured in
“Hectoliters” and not “Cases”.

Disclaimer: I have not had a beer in 10 years but this is
still WRONG.
