A man was seen urinating into a vat at a Tsingtao beer factory, with the brand now opening a probe into the incident. Video footage has emerged, capturing the shocking moment when a man, donned in a hard hat and blue overalls, descended into a malt container at the Chinese beer factory in Pingdu. Ignoring all social norms, he unzipped his trousers and relieved himself, causing a wave of outrage and concern. Tsingtao, known as the sixth-largest global beer maker, has taken immediate action by sealing all batches connected to the incident.
In a statement, Tsingtao Brewery expressed their utmost seriousness regarding the emerged video from Tsingtao Brewery No. 3 on October 19th. They promptly reported the incident to the police, involving public security organizations in the ongoing investigation. Taking no chances, Tsingtao Brewery has completely sealed the malt batch in question, reinforcing their commitment to strict management procedures and ensuring the highest product quality.
Additional reports reveal that the man captured in the video is not an employee of Tsingtao but a loader hired through a third-party labor supplier. Nevertheless, the unfortunate event has had severe consequences for Tsingtao as their shares plummeted by 1% on the Shanghai Stock Exchange on Friday and a staggering 7.5% on Monday morning.
The incident has caused a frenzy on Weibo, where the video was originally posted. Users took the opportunity to mock the situation, with one stating, “Good thing I don’t drink beer – but it’s unimaginable if this brand is finished because of this.” Another user added, “I’ve always said the beer here is like horse pee. Turns out I was wrong.”
As Tsingtao Beer launches a thorough investigation into this scandalous act, the world awaits their swift and decisive action to restore faith in their brand. The consequences of this incident may have a lasting impact on the reputation and future of Tsingtao, making it a crucial event to follow for beer enthusiasts and industry experts alike.
