Taiwan City Beer Mug: Kaohsiung Edition Once made famous by the slogan “Sell goods, bring people in, and Kaohsiung will prosper,” Kaohsiung is Taiwan’s second-largest city and its most renowned port city. Kaohsiung locals are known for being warm, passionate, and easy to get along with. They take pride in knowing how to pronounce street names that most Taiwanese people can’t — counting from One to Ten in their local style. The city is also nationally famous for its “Kaohsiung-style left turn,” and its beloved guōshāo noodles (pot-braised noodles) are a popular breakfast choice. “Cheers!” is how Taiwanese people connect with one another. A toast with family during Lunar New Year expresses warm wishes for the year ahead. A clink of glasses with friends over stir-fried dishes is a way of saying, “I’m glad we’re here together.” Through these casual, heartfelt toasts, we naturally draw closer to one another. But did you know the story behind Taiwan’s classic beer mug? Around the world, beer comes in countless varieties—and so do beer glasses, in all shapes and sizes. In Taiwan, the most iconic beer glass size is the 143cc mug! Though 143cc isn’t an official measurement, it’s considered the ideal size for keeping beer fresh. Legend has it that during World War II, due to supply shortages, Taiwan’s Monopoly Bureau intentionally reduced the size of beer glasses—so each sip would feel more precious and leave you wanting more. One 600ml bottle of Taiwan Beer fills about four 143cc mugs. The phrase “You down it, I’ll sip” has become a heartfelt and humorous way for Taiwanese friends to connect during a toast. The 143cc beer mug is everywhere in daily life—at picnics, family gatherings, festive banquets, and more. Lai Hao blends this classic 143cc beer mug with Taiwanese cultural elements, engraving nostalgic, uniquely local symbols into each cup. Taiwan designed, Taiwan made. So—who would you like to toast with today? ➤ Product Information Style: Kaohsiung Edition Material: Glass Capacity: 143ml Package Dimensions: 7cm (L) × 7cm (W) × 9cm (H) Made in Taiwan (Designed & Manufactured)
