The year of the dragon

Did luck have anything to do with it? Foster’s Shanghai Beer won the Monde Selection Gold Medal at the World Selection 2000 awards ceremony in Luxembourg. The brew from one of China’s largest and best-known cities has been a favourite among the 13 million residents of Shanghai for decades, according to Foster’s. Dating back to 1936, the brand is establishing itself as an international beer brand capitalising on the appeal of Shanghai. Monde Selection which was founded in 1961 is an independent international institute concerned with testing the quality of products from all over the world.
