Tsingtao

German-founded Chinese beer

Tsingtao is a Chinese beer brand, the most widely exported Chinese lager.

The name is an older romanization of Qingdao, the coastal city where the brewery was founded in 1903 by German settlers.

In English, Tsingtao typically refers to the beer rather than the city: Let's order some Tsingtao with the dim sum.
