The tour is broken up into three parts: (1) history of TsingTao Beer over the past 100 years, (2) walk through tour of how TsingTao Beer is made, (3) current brew factory production with a final stop at the bar for some samples.  And don&#8217;t forget the &#8220;Drunk Room&#8221;, a simulation of drunkenness with slanted walls and floors.
