Taiwan Beer
Taiwan Beer is an amber lager beer with a distinct taste produced by the addition of locally produced "ponlai" rice ("Formosa rice" 蓬萊米) during the fermentation process. Like all large-market beers, the original Taiwan Beer brew is filtered and pasteurized. It is served cold and best complements Taiwanese and Japanese cuisine, especially seafood dishes such as sushi and sashimi. Taiwan Beer has won international awards, including the International Monde Selection in 1997 and the Brewing Industry International Awards in 2002. Taiwan Beer is mass-produced at the Taiwan Beer Factory in Wuri District, Taichung City. It is also brewed on site at the Taiwan Beer Bar in Taipei.
