Producer Background
Founded in 1903 by German settlers in the port city of Qingdao, Tsingtao Brewery is one of China's most iconic beer producers. From its inception, Tsingtao has combined traditional European brewing techniques with Chinese ingredients, resulting in a lager that offers crisp carbonation, subtle bitterness, and a dry, satisfying finish. The brewery sources mineral-rich spring water from the nearby Laoshan Mountains, helping to give the beer its distinctive clarity and freshness.
Tsingtao's flagship lager is brewed with imported hops and barley malt, delivering balance and character while remaining incredibly smooth. Its consistent quality has earned it global recognition, with distribution now reaching over 100 countries. Despite its scale, Tsingtao remains true to its heritage and continues to represent a fusion of East and West in the world of beer.
At TheCru.ie, we’re delighted to offer Tsingtao alongside other international favourites and small-batch craft options. Whether you’re building a mixed case or looking for a refreshing lager for the weekend, Tsingtao delivers a crisp alternative to heavier styles – great on its own or paired with your favourite takeaway.
