Tsingtao Brewing Co Pale Lager

Pros: Great taste; travels well
Cons: You have to look for it

Have you noticed? Beers seem to fall into three types: beer that is brewed and drunk at the site of origin; beer that is brewed locally and then transported afar; and beer that is brewed under license away from its point of origin. Guinness is a fine...

Pros: Great tasting beer from China, compliments food very well.

Pros: My favorite Chinese beer, light and crisp good with Chinese food.
Cons: Hard to find in south China.

Okay so I'm in China and drinking is a national past time here. In fact not drinking is seen as odd. While in China I have learned that eating is a more than just having a meal, it is a social affair and business maker or breaker. You don't just have ...

Pros: Great with Chinese fare.
Cons: Green glass.

When I think of China and beer, I immediately think of Tsingtao. Some might consider that a good thing, but in reality this is merely a reflection on the relative dearth of Chinese beers imported into the United States. For that matter, the ...

Pros: Cheap. Extra large size bottles!
Cons: Drink chilled only!

What's my idea of a fine evening after a lousy day? Heading for Chinatown and into my favourite hole in the wall restaurant for plates of sticky dumplings, spicy, gingery noodles, and many, (I emphasize 'many') bottles of TsingTao beer.

This...

Pros: Crisp and refreshing, goes well with Chinese food
Cons: You'll want another one an hour later

China does not have a long history of brewing beer and foreign influence has been responsible for the modern day development of the industry. At the beginning of the 1900's, Tsingtao was a German port - in the same way that Hong Kong was British ...

Pros: It's a pretty good lager
Cons: wish brewers would abandon green bottles

This is one of those beers that I have consumed multiple times without ever having purchased a six pack. When I dine at Chinese restaurants, I often find myself ordering a bottle of Tsing Tao to go with the meal. It just seems like the right thing...

Pros: Easy drinking flavor; Easy to find for an import
Cons: Adjunct- laden taste; Bottled in green

Pros: Crisp, clean taste; smooth finish; light body
Cons: extremely bland, watery taste - unappealing overall

When we think of China, beer is not usually one of the things that come to mind. But if we must name a Chinese beer, Tsingtao is pretty much the only one most people (connoisseurs included) can name. As is the case with most countries, their most popular ...

Pros: Excellent for it's intended flavor palate
Cons: none yet

Tsingtao beer was first introduced to my palate at Kirin, an oddly-named Chinese restaurant in Berkeley, CA. Great eatery with amazing prices (i.e. cheap for all your got), and not a bad little beer. With a reasonable price for a beer in a restaurant...

Pros: Good lager that accompanies a wide variety of food.
Cons: Lacks some body and flavor

Cons: nothing endearing

Pros: Great taste with complex finish and no aftertaste
Cons: Tough to find in Liquor stores and supermarkets in the U.S.

This is an excellent complex brew that always tastes clean and crisp. I've yet to receive a skunky bottle of the stuff yet. To me this means the Importers are handling the stuff correctly. It has a very complex finish with just the right amount of hops. Never overpowering. A great beer for dollar value.
