I couldn’t find the Laverne and Shirley theme song for my brewery tour video, so I went in a totally different direction (Minneapolis hip-hop, WARNING: some explicit lyrics). The Tsingtao Brewery in Qingdao, China, was started by the Germans, run for a while by the Japanese, and now is a state-owned enterprise. While in the town we had access to beers I’ve never seen in Beijing, including a green beer that was apparently fermented with seaweed. All over town the beer was served in tiny glasses, so even though we started drinking every day around noon, we never really got past tipsy.
