Snow beer is a good beer given the fact it is heavily produced. While living in Chengdu, this is all I drank. In fact the Sichuan people are rabid about Snow as their exclusive provincial beer. Tsingtao and Snow are the only beers you will fine outside foreign beers there. This is how most of China’s beers work. Harbin brand etc..

Snow > Bud Light And considering I was paying $1 for the equivalent of a 6 pack, drink UP!

@darkmoon – I said “it sounds like” – I didn’t mean it *was* poorly translated. I.E. It does not sound like a brand that transcend China, like Sony, Nokia, etc… or until recently, Samsung, or a better example, Heineken.

More accurately, the first two characters on the can are “snow flower.” which may not market well in the States at least.

How is it poorly translated? It says friggin’ “snow” on the side of the can. In both English and Chinese.

Snow Beer is actually a better translation for its actual name (Snowflake Beer…roughly translated it’s Snow Flower).

I’ve seen it in random Chinese bars, but since I’m not a beer person, I’ve never had it.
