Tsingtao Brewery

As non Chinese you’ll need to go inside to purchase tickets. You’ll need to show a photo or tell the number of your passport for entry. It was a fun 2 hours seeing where Tsingtao history was made. The original beer labels were the most interesting part. you can buy an all inclusive ticket that includes a flight of beer at the end of the tour or do the most basic tour and purchase a flight for 78rmb at the end yourself.

20230111 Afternoon: 1. The "Tsingtao Beer Museum" is the earliest beer production enterprise in China and the museum built by Tsingtao Beer Co., Ltd., which has been shortlisted for the world's top 500 brands many times. It is a national-level museum integrating historical, cultural, production process and other elements. The company invested and built in 2003 by Qing Beer Company, which was founded in the old factory area in 1903, with four pavilions: A and B are the main pavilions. Tsingtao Beer was founded in 1903 by Germans and British joint ventures, when Qingdao was a German concession area, Germans in order to drink fresh beer, they brought high-quality yeasts from Germany to Qingdao Kaijian German Beer Company Qingdao Stock Company, Its beer was famously awarded a gold medal at the Munich Expo, the home of the world's beer, and the brewery was acquired by Japan in 1916, when Japan occupied Qingdao from Germany during World War I. After the victory of the war in 1945, it was taken over by the National Government until the liberation of Qingdao in 1949. It was renamed "State-owned Qingdao Brewery". Qing beer turned a new page. At present, Qing beer is the most well-known beer brand in China overseas. 3. There is no strict distinction between Qing beer factories and attractions. Hall A is located on the west side of the scenic spot, no ticket inspection is required. The hall introduces the history of Qing beer development through graphics, videos, physical objects, etc., the main history from the construction of the factory to the present, and the honors received, Qingdao International Beer Festival and other information, showing many cultural relics and imitations collected from Europe and the country. Some even collected from Germany and Japan, very knowledge, lit up their own quite a lot of blind spots, such as 1903 when the factory was first built, the trademark was Qingdao's landmark building, especially popular with Europeans and Americans "small Qingdao" instead of the current "trail bridge"; There are also the oldest green beer advertisements integrated into Chinese culture, Liu, Guan, Zhang drinking beer and Li Bai, Tang Xuanzong drinking beer, quite funny; Qing beer is the only brand in China that is more well-known than in developing countries; the earliest cinema film advertisements. 5. Hall B is located on the east side of the scenic spot. The first area mainly shows the old production workshop of Qing beer through old equipment, old cultural relics, wax statues, projection and other forms, and introduces the whole process of beer production, including "old sugaring", "old filtering", "old fermentation", "wine and yeast recycling room" and other processes. The heavy steel machinery and equipment are like sleeping behemoths, and some equipment is embedded in the modern screen to restore the scene of work 100 years ago. The German Siemens motor in the first room of Hall B in 1903 can still be used. This antique model attracted Siemens' heavy gold. The aisle of "wine from the sky" and other scenes are quite impressive, revealing: the water pipe is hidden in the water column. The laboratory wax statue of scientist Hansen cultivating yeast is also very vivid; The second area is a modern production workshop, corresponding to the old equipment "new filter", "new packaging", "new fermentation" and other processes and equipment, the workshop automation production, the efficiency is extremely high per second 20 cans / 10 bottles, only a few employees in the workshop patrol, subverting my understanding of the traditional production workshop, Have a good eye.

Had a lovely experience learning about the history of beer in Qingdao.

1903年8月15日，一些来自盎格鲁———日耳曼啤酒公司的德国、英国商人，为适应占领军及不断增加的侨民对啤酒的需求，在驻有大量德军的青岛鹤兵营旁（今青岛市登州路56号），合资创办了“日耳曼啤酒公司青岛股份有限公司”，这就是青岛啤酒股份有限公司的前身。当时公司投产后不久，其生产的“日耳曼牌”啤酒便成为市场上的热销货，除在青岛销售外，还大量销往北京、上海、天津等国内各大城市和香港，并在1906年慕尼黑世界啤酒节博览会上一鸣惊人，获得金奖。

青岛啤酒厂生产的青岛牌啤酒，选用优质大麦、良种啤酒花和崂山泉水精心配制，素以泡沫洁白细腻、酒液清亮透明、口味香醇爽口而享誉中外。1963年、1979年青岛牌啤酒两次被评为国家名酒；1980年、1985年两次荣获国家金质奖章；1981年、1985年两次在美国国际啤酒评比会上荣获冠军奖，1987年在美国密西西比州的国际啤酒评比会上第三次夺魁。

值得一去看看，这是啤酒爱好者的福地。
