At the 36th Qingdao International Beer Festival, Sylvain St-Amand, a representative of Montreal Beer Festival, discovered more than just great brews. From fresh seafood to the city's relaxed coastal lifestyle, his first visit to Qingdao offered a fresh perspective on China's beer culture.
The festival opened on July 17 in the coastal city of Qingdao, east China's Shandong Province, kicking off a 30-day celebration that blends brewing tradition with tech advances and cultural performances.
