Tsingtao Beer Museum

Why it's worth it

The 1903 Germania brewery, still fermenting in the same red-brick works — the museum runs you past the original copper kettles and tile vats into a live production line, and hands you beer twice on the way.

Don't miss

• The 1903 saccharification room — copper and enamel, century-one industrial architecture
• The 'drunk room' tilted exhibit — the museum's built-in joke, included in the ticket
• A century of bottle and poster design in the old yeast-lab hall

Getting there

Line 2 to Taidong, then 10 minutes on foot up Dengzhou Road — the 'Beer Street' strip leads you in.

Tips

• Entry includes two pours: the classic lager and the unpasteurised 'drunk' original — drink in order
• The beer nuts sold beside the tasting bar are the traditional chaser; buy them outside for less
• Come before 4pm; the last entry trails off and the tasting room empties
