GBL Gets A Chinese Flavour With Tsingtao   Global Brands Ltd (GBL) has announced it is to start distributing imported premium packaged lager brands. Now available, is Chinese beer Tsingtao. This marks a new direction for GBL which has been solely focusing on its Ready-To-Drink portfolio, which includes Vodka Kick. Heading up the new beer brands division, as beer brands director, is former chief executive of Budweiser Budvar UK John Harley. He is excited by the company's new agreement with Tsingtao as he has felt for some time now that the next big beers will be coming from China. Tsingtao is lightly carbonated, very easy-drinking and goes brilliantly with food.
