The Qingdao Beer Festival—the home of Tsingtao beer—is the largest of its kind in Asia, drawing over six million visitors every year. It’s an eccentric event, with foreigners in lederhosen, lots of children, fireworks, and even a drone show. In this video, we try Tsingtao out of a bag and break down the history of the city’s emblematic beer brand.
