It’s a well known fact theory that beer and tea were both developed as ways of purifying water (more here), except beer was developed in the west and tea in Asia. How different the UK would be if some guy in the ancient middle east had figured out that just boiling the water was a much much easier (but a lot lot less enjoyable) way of purifying water than sprouting grains, and then grinding, baking, boiling, mashing, fermenting etc)

It was only a matter of time before someone came up with this Frankensteinian (is this in your dictionary Woai?) monstrosity:

Hmm, it looks a bit like Tsingtao or Heineken doesn’t it, and look at all those little medal things at the bottom, this must taste amazing, and it’s only 25 NT$ (50 of our english p). Ok, let’s get on with the tasting.

There is a phhhhhhhhhhht when you open the can, I was surprised, I was expecting it to be flat! What’s not good however is the pungent aroma that hit me straight away, getting flashbacks to snake baijiu at Harleys.

As for the taste, well, despite my colleague urging me not to waste my money it’s not as bad as I expected, it’s kind of like crap shandy with a slight metally taste, oh and a bit soapy too. Ok, straight down the sink with the rest of it..

So, there you have it, Beer Flavoured Green Tea and at a mere 0.5% alcohol you can probably drink about 15 cans and still operate hazardous machinery!

Ok, let me ask you a question now, if you had to, would you rather drink a pint of Beer Flavoured Green Tea or a pint of Green Tea Flavoured Beer? You, know, if you HAD to..
