Tsingtao Beer, a well-hopped standard pale lager of 4.7% abv, is the flagship brew, accounting for most of the brewery #39;s production. An unpasteurised version is sold as Tsingtao Draft Beer. Tsingtao Beer was long advertised as being #34;brewed with mineral water from the Laoshan Spring #34;, which contributed to its characteristic flavor, but that now applies only to beer produced in Qingdao, and not to that produced in the company #39;s other breweries. Originally, Tsingtao Beer was brewed in accordance with the German Reinheitsgebot ( #34;Purity Law #34;) of 1516. Therefore, the only ingredients used were water, barley, and hops. However, the recipe changed after privatization; like many other beers made in China, Tsingtao Beer contains a proportion of the less-expensive rice as an adjunct in the mash. The brewery also produces a number of other beers, mostly for the local market.
