	'''Beer Duck''' (Simplified Chinese: 啤酒鸭; Traditional Chinese: 啤酒鴨; Pinyin: ''Píjiǔ yā'') is a widely cooked Chinese home and restaurant dish of chopped duck braised with beer, aromatics, and often dried chilies or bean paste.

'''Beer Duck''' (Simplified Chinese: 啤酒鸭; Traditional Chinese: 啤酒鴨; Pinyin: ''Píjiǔ yā'') is a widely cooked Chinese home and restaurant dish of chopped duck braised with beer, aromatics, and often dried chilies or fermented bean paste.

	~~Sauce~~ is savory with mild beer aroma; spice level ranges from gentle to chili-heavy. Meat is fall-apart tender after ~~braising~~.		The braising liquid is savory with a mild malty beer aroma after alcohol cooks off; spice level ranges from gentle soy-aromatic to chili-heavy Xiang or Chuan profiles. Meat should turn fall-apart tender after simmering so duck fat and beer stock cling to the pieces. Soft pairing cue: often eaten with rice and a cold beer at the table—the same drink that flavors the pot. Keep distinct from [[Tea-Smoked Duck]] (smoke and tea fragrance) and from Cantonese roast duck hanging in [[Siu Mei]] windows.

Duck pieces; beer as primary braising liquid; ginger, garlic, and scallion; star anise or related spices; soy sauce; optional doubanjiang, dried chilies, or Sichuan pepper for heat; soft regional add-ins may include konjac / yam cake cubes in some Sichuan–Chongqing house versions.<ref name="omni"></ref> Overview only—not a recipe.

Beer duck is generally described as a late-20th-century home-cooking classic rather than an imperial named dish: mass-produced beer became widely available in China, and cooks in Hunan and Sichuan–Chongqing circles began using a bottle of brew as duck braising liquid, after which the plate spread nationally as casual restaurant fare.<ref name="decoded"></ref><ref name="omni"></ref> Soft folk stories—a spilled beer bottle into a spicy duck casserole “inventing” the taste, or Kangxi-era wine-into-duck legends in Hunan county lore—circulate in popular media and remain '''disputed''' soft folklore, not documented hard history.<ref name="yires">[http://yireservation.com/recipes/beer-braised-duck/ Yi Reservation: urban-legend origin note (soft / disputed)]</ref> Soft regional framing: Chongqing and Hunan both claim strong local popularity; Guizhou tables fold beer duck into broader spicy braise culture—treat multiple regional homes as parallel adoption, not a single verified birthplace.
