| The generic word for beer in Chinese: 啤酒 (pí jiǔ), literally “Beer Alcohol” Chinese beers in general are quite weak and fizzy lagers. Here are some of the top brands you might encounter: 青岛啤酒 Qīngdǎo píjiǔ = Tsingdao Beer 雪花啤酒 Xuěhuā píjiǔ = Snow Beer 燕京啤酒 Yàn jīng píjiǔ = Yanjing Beer 哈尔滨啤酒 Hā’ěrbīn píjiǔ = Haerbin Beer  Tsingtao Beer Tsingtao is one of the most famous Chinese beers. The Tsingtao brewery was founded by German settlers to Qingdao in 1903. The difference in spelling with the brand and the place is because the beer brand still uses the older form of writing the place name in the roman alphabet “Tsingtao” – this uses the Wade-Giles format. “Qingdao” is the modern pinyin version. You’ll find Tsingtao Beer all across China, but in Qingdao itself the beer is brewed with mineral water from the nearby “Laoshan Spring” to make it extra tasty. You might also find the stronger Tsingtao dark beer too. Since 1991 the city has hosted an international beer festival each year from late July through to the end of August. It’s the largest beer festival in Asia and is not to be missed!
