Visiting the Tsingtao Brewery Museum, one gets tipsy before even drinking

Tsingtao Brewery Museum is the birthplace of Tsingtao Beer, transformed from the old brewery and officially opened on August 15, 2003, the centennial of Tsingtao Beer. It is now listed as a key national cultural relic protection unit, a national first-class museum, a world-class professional beer museum, and also a national AAAA-level tourist attraction and the first national industrial tourism demonstration site. The museum has three exhibition areas: Area A, 'Cultural History Exploration', introduces the century-long journey and changes of Tsingtao Beer in the form of pictures and texts, embedding the beer culture into the city's genes; Area B, 'Tasting a Century of Fragrance', displays the beer production process including selection of ingredients, brewing, storage, and inspection, with the production process visible on-site; Area C, 'Enjoying the Gathering Moments', exhibits beer packaging and offers the experience of the freshest and purest Tsingtao draft beer, raw beer, and beer beans. Of course, as part of the experience, you get a free cup of beer and a pack of beans. If you want more, you can purchase a variety of beer-related cultural and tourism products in the business area. A special tip is to try the 'Drunken House' experience. Whether you've had alcohol or not, entering the Drunken House will definitely make you feel drunk! The sensation of being unsteady, dizzy, and nauseous is like being drunk without drinking. After visiting the museum, you can enter the music bar from the experience area, where you can get a free cup of Tsingtao beer and a pack of beer beans. The music bar's business front desk also sells various types of Tsingtao beer. Sitting on the bar stool, slowly savoring the joy that beer brings, you can appreciate the feeling that 'in Qingdao, there are two types of foam: one from the sea and one from the beer, both intoxicating'. Visited the beer museum on March 30, 2024, walked through Areas ABC, had a drink at the music bar, and the experience was profound, hence recorded. It is said: A century-old shop, a century-old factory, the machines are old but still shiny bright. Visitors flow like water, enter the Drunken House, and stagger like drunkards.
