The most popular beer on the planet is one you may never have even heard of. That’s because sales of it are almost exclusively limited to one country: China.

Sales of the world’s best-selling beer, Snow, have grown 573% over the past decade, according to Bloomberg. But despite its popularity in China, it’s available only at specialty retailers in the US.

This 4% lager is extremely cheap and sells at around $US1 per litre in China, according to Quartz.

The world’s second most popular beer, Tsingtao, was introduced into the US in 1972 and has become the highest-selling Chinese beer in the country.

The popular American brew Bud Light comes in third place.
