One Night in Qingdao – I Drank Tons of Beer
"Ganbei!" - We cheers over the meal that my colleague and friend, Ning, has ordered for us to try. He's originally from Qingdao, and so has a far better knowledge than me of the local dishes and what will go best with the locally brewed beer, Tsingtao.

Tsingtao is the much loved beer of Qingdao and indeed the country. In fact, it was the first beer I ever tried when I landed in China for the first time three years ago, and is up there as one of the country's most famous. It seems fitting to be enjoying a glass or two right over the road from the brewery the way it's meant to be had - out of a small, almost shot sized glass with fresh seafood and barbequed meat.
