Comments.Text: @MonicaCellio The tag doesn't really apply to this question, but 3-2 beer is the term for reduced alcohol beer that is all some states allow to be sold by a supermarket or convenience store type retailer.  The name comes from the fact that these laws have typcially specified that only beer with an ABV of 3.2% or less may be sold by these licensees.

Comments.Text: You can find Tsingtao for sale in Italy, typically in Chinese, Japanese or Asian fusion restaurants. I think this is also due to compliancy to some western or EU standard of production (but this should be double checked)

  Most Chinese Beers are pale lagers or pilsners - bland, tasteless, and topped with glycerin as a stabilizer which gives people a pounding headache.
  
  Many of my Chinese and foreigner friends would drink Carelsberg at the bar - a danish bland and tasteless beer.
  
  When we had the money for it, everyone bought German or Belgian beer,
  even my friends in the far western provinces of Sichuan and Yunnan.
