Drinks importer and distributor LEC Beverages has been appointed as the sole UK distributor of Tsingtao Beer, the most popular imported Chinese beer in the UK market.

Supplies of the beer were temporarily disrupted by changes to its distribution. Last year, the brand had agreed a joint venture deal between LEC and In Good Company to distribute Tsingtao products, but that has now been replaced by the sole agreement.
