Oldie: the world’s top-selling beer…it’s not Bud or Miller
From the better late than never pile (reported back in August)…
The Chinese drank 16.5bn pints of Snow Beer last year, making it easily China’s favourite and roughly twice as popular as Bud Light, the global beer from which it snatched the number one spot back in 2008. Snow may not yet generate as much profit for SABMiller, the brewer that part owns it, as Bud Light does for its rival, Anheuser-Busch InBev, but the Chinese beer market is booming, with around 10pc growth each year.

Breweries: SABMiller
Howdy!
According to its wikipedia page, “Snow includes a large range of beers; when Budweiser, Bud Light and the other members of the Budweiser family are counted as a single brand, they easily top the sales charts with over 100 million hectoliters a year.”
Considering snow is just frozen water, at least the Chinese are truthful on what you are getting when you purchase the beer.
