Tsingtao Beer

Founded in 1903 by German and British settlers as the Germania-Brauerei in Qingdao, China, Tsingtao Beer is one of the world's most recognizable Chinese brands. It utilizes a unique combination of high-quality spring water from the Laoshan mountains, German brewing techniques, and Chinese rice to create its signature crisp taste.

Today, Tsingtao Brewery Group is a publicly traded company on the Hong Kong and Shanghai stock exchanges. While the local Qingdao government maintains a significant stake, the brand has seen various international partnerships over the decades. It remains the centerpiece of China's brewing heritage and a major global exporter, available in over 100 countries.
