About Tsingtao Premium Lager Beer 4x640ml
First brewed in 1903 in the coastal city of Qingdao by German settlers, Tsingtao beer combines German brewing traditions with local Chinese ingredients. The brewery uses high-quality malted barley and hops alongside water drawn from Laoshan Mountain, a source long prized in China for its purity. This combination gives Tsingtao its clean profile and subtle character that set it apart from heavier European beers.
The UK version of Tsingtao Premium Lager usually sits at around 4.5% ABV, making it an easy-drinking beer for weeknights, takeaways or social gatherings. Each 640ml bottle provides a generous pour, and the 4-pack ensures there is enough Tsingtao to share. For anyone pairing beer with Asian food, this lager is often the default choice that appears on restaurant tables and supermarket shelves alike.
