I see, you are using a Belgian apple beer because it resembles cider. Got it. I imagine good cider must be hard to find in China?

 

Yes, exactly. Cider* is impossible to find. I too was surprised to find that. They do have an apple wine I can find, but it is too sweet for moules.

 

* By which I mean what you call 'hard cider' in America. In Europe, all cider is alcoholic and apple based.

waell,,,,

 

"apple cider" is one of those 'extended' topics....

 

in USA one can get glass jars of 'apple juice' and 'apple cider' just about year round.

in the fall, 'apple cider' in gallon plastic jugs appears - in many variations . . .

the 'pasteurized' version is (perhaps) fizzy - but fermentation has been "terminated, with prejudice"

often on offer . . . filter and pasteurized - that's the fizzy apple juice...

other jug offerings are 'not pasteurized' - cloudy and yeah, they'll ferment more and have an alcoholic content.

 

more likely to find them as a local fruit stand / 'alternative market' as selling fermented aka alcohol containing stuff can run afoul of your local "authorities" . . . .
