Beer in a bag

anyone have more info on this? http://xo.typepad.com/blog/2006/08/bags_of_beer.html

Apparently, in Qingdao, the Japanese city where Tsing Tao is brewed, beer in a bag is a common sight. You can buy beer on the streets of the city from people who sell it directly from kegs. Using a small spring scale, they weigh out the amount of beer you ask for. Then you get a small straw to punch through the side of the bag to drink out of. Here's a picture (broken link) of a group of students who have just bought some beer in a bag

Here's another photo. —xanderer (talk) 20:38, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

FYI Qingdao is in the People's Republic of China, not Japan. I used to live in Qingdao (until earlier this year), and bag beer is very common. It is sold at little corner stores, out of a keg. It is very fresh tasting, because the beer is unpasteurized. I've not seen straws given out (although it is possible). People drinking the beer at the establishment are served glasses of beer. Those taking it away are given bags, and they usually carry it home and pour it into glasses. I've spent time in several other Chinese cities, and bag beer seems to be almost unknown outside Qingdao. ɳorɑfʈ ^Talk! 15:29, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Strength of Tsingtao Beer

Tsingtao has been around 4.8% alcohol for many years, as I stated in the article. However, drinking a bottle yesterday, I happened to notice that it was marked 5%. Does anyone know if this is now the standard strength, and when the change was made? Rodparkes 02:15, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

German settlers?

German settlers? What? Proof? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.243.220.41 (talk) 13:57, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

well it was a German colony at that time —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.164.237.228 (talk) 14:00, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Germany acquired Jiaozhou Bay (Kiautschou in German) in 1897 and signed of a 99-year lease with the Japanese on March 6, 1898, thus making the bay and its surrounding area a German schutzgebiet, or protectorate. An enormous, modern, naval base was built at Tsingtao, the site of a tiny fishing village. The brewery was established there in 1903 by the Germania Brewing Company to brew beer for German naval personnel stationed there, either with German East Asia Squadron or serving in the Reichsmarineamt. —xanderer (talk) 20:31, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

Flagship is NOT a Pilsener nor is it "well-hopped"

Are you kidding me? This is not a "well-hopped Pilsner". Tsingtao's flagship is an American Macro Lager style clone. Lots of adjuncts. Not a Pilsner. Stop the lies! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Metalisfun (talk • contribs) 04:50, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Tsingtao is in Japan?

What on earth is this about? Shandong is in China, Tsingtao is in China, it's a chinese beer! Why is it full of japanese references? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eryl (talk • contribs) 06:20, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
