Context: Germany used to have a colony in China’s Shandong province called Kiautschou Bay, with it’s administrative capital in Tsingtao (Qingdao). There, in 1903, a British German brewery was founded with help from German master brewers, with the brewery being sold to a Japanese company after it fell to them in 1916 (which would later split into today’s Asahi and Sapporo breweries). Following ww2 the brewery became Chinese again, later becoming a state owned enterprise after the civil war. It was renamed back to Tsingtao Brewery in 1993 and quickly became one of the most popular beers in Asia

Tsingtao pairs well with raw fish. Probably why it blew the doors off the Japanese market. If you are going to gorge yourself on sashimi it’s a good chaser.

Bintang brewery in Indonesia is an old Heineken brewery. The beers taste somewhat similar too.
