You can drink it chilled. You can take it home from the pub in a plastic bag, and refrigerate it. But that's back in Blighty. Refrigerating the 5 liter bag won't affect the taste. It will only stop the ongoing fermentation process.
In pubs, all beers and lagers sold from kegs or casks are at cellar temperature, be they real ale or bright beer.
A few years ago, here in Hohhot, dark beer in bottles WAS available from a local brewery, North Star Beer = Saibeixing, later taken over by Xue Lue, Snow Aeer brand, later taken over by Yanjing of Beijing. Even so, Xue Lu is superior to Yanjing, though slightly inferior to the discontinued Saibeixing.
Xue Lu is in RB = returnable bottles, 2.6 RMB net price.
