In sort of a parallel to this, when Germany held Tsingtao as a colony before World War One, they built breweries in that city. After the Germans left, the breweries were taken over by the Japanese and later the Chinese. The craft that the locals learned from the Germans and the breweries became Tsigntao beer.

So at least that explains Chinese beer!

If only Germany hadn't lost its South Pacific colonies along with the First World War, maybe there would be better beer there!
