The largest beer festival in Asia, the Qingdao International Beer Festival is a two-week celebration of beer held in the Laoshan District of Qingdao, home to Tsingtao Beer.

Admission is 10 yuan from 9am to 3pm, 20 yuan after 3pm. The event closes at 10pm each night.

Beer tents from many of the world's major brewers, such as Beck's, Kirin, Asahi, Carlsberg, Corona, Heineken, Tiger, and Budweiser, along with hometown favorite Tsingtao, will be there, complete with stages featuring live music, fashion shows, karaoke and other diversions.

Most of the beer consumed will be adjunct lagers, but you can find a few other varieties, such as schwarzbier or weissbier.

Many kinds of food, both Western and Chinese, will be available, including the locally popular meat skewers.

The volume levels can be quite high in the beer tents, so earplugs may be a good idea.
