Lunar New Year - A Booze Guide
The Lunar New Year is just around the corner and the coolest of the zodiacs represents 2024 - the year of the dragon! Compared to the Western New Year which is a “wham bam” kind of deal, the Lunar New Year is celebrated during 15 days of food, drinks, food, fireworks, food, parades, food, family, and yes more food. You may be curious as to what exactly is drank at the New Year celebrations. The short answer is - everything! The long answer is: beer (Snow, Tsingtao, and Harbin are the Chinese domestic lagers), red wine, baijiu (an intense alcohol made from fermented sorghum oats, etc.), whiskey, and more! Otherwise known as Spring Festival, the holiday sees the largest migration of people on a yearly basis in a booze-fest celebration with family. Today, let’s go through some of exotic Chinese-made products and also browse some Western offerings with a cool Year of the Dragon twist!
