How much do Chinese people love to drink beer? Each person consumes an average of 45 600ml bottles of beer per year. And judging from the total volume, Chinese people also drink the most beer in the world. In 2021, China's total beer consumption reached 3.89 million kiloliters, which can fill 15,000 Olympic swimming pools (the volume of water injected into an Olympic-standard swimming pool is 2,500 kiloliters), accounting for 20.5% of global consumption.

According to data from Japan's Kirin Brewery Research Institute, the top three global beer consumption countries in 2021 are China, the US, and Russia. The US consumed 24.17 million kiloliters in 2021, ranking second; Russia consumed 14.54 million kiloliters of beer, ranking third.

Although people on Earth love beer, competition among beer merchants is still fierce. Judging from the brand finance report, “Heineken” from the Netherlands became the most valuable beer brand in 2023 with 7.594 billion US dollars, but it is only less than 200 million US dollars different from Mexico's “Corona” in second place. There are 3 Chinese brands in the top 20 of this list. “Snowflake Beer” is ranked 6th in the world and number one in China with a brand value of 3,505 billion US dollars; the other two products on the list are “Tsingtao Brewery” ranked 12th and “Harbin Beer” ranked 13th.
