Taiwan Beer
Three lager-style brews bear the label Taiwan Beer. The "Original" brew is sold in brown bottles with a cream-coloured label and in white cans bearing a blue and green design. The "Gold Medal" brew, introduced in April 2003, is sold in green bottles and cans that reproduce the white, red and green label seen on the bottle. "Original" Taiwan beer is 4.5% and "Gold" is 5% by volume and are regularly seen in Taiwan's convenience and grocery stores. The newest lager, Taiwan Beer "18 days", bears a signature solid green bottle with no paper label; was sold in cans at a later date. Draft appears most often in bars and restaurants, where it is available on tap or from refrigerators. The brew, designed to be sold fresh, is less often seen in stores due to its expiration just 18 days after production. In 2013 more stores began to stock the brew as ads and labels trumpeted its early expiration date.
