Qingdao Laote Brewery
Qingdao, Shandong, China · Est. 1994
Tally's Take
Why this matters
Independent and malt-forward, brewing in the shadow of Tsingtao. Being the alternative in that particular city is a deliberate position.

Year-RoundPale Lager
Brewed with Laoshan mountain spring water — the same source Tsingtao advertises, used by the independent down the road. At 3.6 percent it is built for volume and heat.
