Beer Alternatives
hopIQ found 10 beers with the same crisp and light character as Yanjing Beer. Beijing's local lager — light, clean and softly refreshing with a mild grain sweetness and a crisp finish. Yanjing Beer is the house pour at every Beijing roast duck restaurant and the lager that Beijing hutong residents have drunk for forty years. Understated, consistent and deeply embedded in the capital's daily life. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
