Anyone here ever drink this stuff?
So DO drink the yellow snow?

“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.
tastes like clap.
Everything else aside, Snow is a good name for a beer, I think.
Egad. There’s a Beer Race?
We put in just a touch of formaldehyde for flavour
Watch out where the huskies go...
I like mine with extra melamine. MMMMM!
ROTFLOL
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.
