Themed "Vibrant Beer Festival", this year's event, with a focus on globalization, popularization and the application of intelligent solutions, achieved advances and breakthroughs over previous editions in terms of branding, the number of categories of beer on display and available for sampling, the quality and breadth of the exhibitions and the embracing of the culture of beer. The festival brought together more than 1,400 beer brands from around the world, giving visitors an opportunity to sample beers produced in all four corners of the globe.

This year's festival focused on the fostering of a beer culture. More than 400 events across 12 categories were organized during the 24-day festival, making it an experience replete with excitement every day.

The Qingdao International Beer Festival is not only an international gathering to showcase the appeal of the West Coast New Area, but also a true event for the people of Qingdao.

This year's beer festival is one of the key events hosted by Qingdao in a bid to transform itself into an international fashion city. The event will strengthen Qingdao West Coast New Area's claim as the world's newest "Beer City" while injecting new momentum into the city's conversion into an open, modern, dynamic and fashionable international metropolis.
