First off I just want to say sorry to everyone especially my aunt's for not getting in touch more! Its been amazingly busy here. But rest assured I have not forgotten about anyone. I have a picture of all my aunts and Grandma right beside me at my desk at school. Thats right.. I have a desk. But lets get down t the nitty gritty. I wanted to just do a quick blog about how rockin' the beer is here mainly for the fact it's a great beer, but also for the fact we spent a good coin to go to the factory for a tour.

Heres a little history to start all ya'll off...

The Tsingtao Brewery was founded in 1903 by German settlers in Qingdao, China. Since its introduction, Tsingtao Beer has had sales growth and has always been the number one beer in China. Introduced to the United States in 1972, Tsingtao soon became the top-selling Chinese beer in the U.S. market and has maintained this leadership position ever since.

Tsingtao Beer is brewed and bottled by the Tsingtao Brewery, the largest and most prestigious of the approximately 600 breweries operating in China. The Tsingtao Brewery itself has grown from four breweries in 1996 to 48 today. The Tsingtao brand is sold in more than 50 countries worldwide and accounts for more than 50 percent of China’s total beer exports. In fact, Tsingtao is the number-one branded consumer product exported from China

Thats pretty much all I have to say. Here's a couple picks of us hangin in the factory and checkin out the sites! The picture of the Kitten is of Mac. He is Alex's Kitten that we had to babysit while he was down in Hong Kong for a visit. If your able to go down and try a find a 6 er and drink down a few! Cheers!

Oh and most of you probably know that Bev is Coming to China which is very exciting so I'll probably be putting up some more blogs in the near future.

The keg
All that Brittany needed was a keg to complete the picture. The kitten looks delightful! Hope that Bev is enjoying her adventure.
