While we're kinda in the neighbourhood of pineapples, here's a story...
In 2007 I was working briefly in Beijing, training telecom engineers ahead of the Olympics. Down the street from where I lived was a little corner store that sold beer. All of the Canadian group would go down there every few days and stock up. We drank buckets of Tsingtao in 600 ml bottles, but we also tried what we were told was a "Beijing Special Beer." I forget the name, but it was essentially a very simple pale lager with some pineapple juice added.
You could probably get the same effect by putting a blast of pineapple juice into a mug of Grain Belt. Not all that impressive but a can or ten of that with some of the weird flavours of potato chips they have in Asia wasn't a bad way to unlax and rewind after a hard day.
Dunno if they still make Grain Belt. Breakfast of Champions, for sure.
O.H.
