The largest emigre population were White Russian refugees of the Bolshevik Revolution, Russian Jews and German Jews escaping 1930's Germany. Although largely diminished today, these groups left lasting imprint on the local cuisine. Therefore, good beer from Harbin doesn't surprise me.

I think it would have depended on how well I knew the person. I’m trying to decide if I would have been rude and not drank it or not. I think it would have depended on how well I knew the person.

I haven't had a Bug Light in a long time, but at a lunch the other day someone ordered them for everyone at the table. Not wanting to be rude, I drank mine... it was like tasting soda. And not even good soda, it was like the cheap store brand soda, 2 2-liters for $0.99 soda. Nasty stuff.
