Description
The 2010 World Expo in Shanghai was visited by over 73 million people, included 246 participants and spanned 184 days. As the #1 beer in China, Tsingtao needed to represent the nation during this once in a lifetime event.China does not have a recognizable beer culture, so we gathered and owned all the unique drinking rituals and etiquettes from every region. Then we introduced China’s beer culture to millions of foreigners at the 2010 World Expo and let them experience it firsthand.
