🌍 China · American Lager · One of 46 American Lagers in hopIQ

Yanjing's modern low-alcohol spin-off — launched in 2020 and quickly becoming a hit with younger Beijing drinkers. U8 is ultra-light and crushable: lower ABV than regular Yanjing with an even cleaner finish. The 'U' stands for 'Unique' and the '8' for 8 times filtered. Perfect for long evenings when you want to pace yourself.
