A major Chinese beer manufacturer has revealed it is investigating a video of a man allegedly urinating into a container of ingredients used to brew beer.
Tsingtao Brewery admitted that it was probing an incident at its Brewery Factory No. 3, after a video went viral on Chinese social media site Weibo of a man in a yellow hard hat and blue clothes urinating into a large container.
The video shows the as-yet-unidentified man climbing over a thin yellow wall, before seemingly unzipping his trousers and relieving himself in the factory, which lies in the Chinese city of Pingdu.
It is not currently known whether the man was an employee of Tsingtao, the second largest beer maker in China and one of the largest exporters of beer in the world.
An unnamed source told local media that both the person who allegedly urinated into the ingredients and the person who recorded the video were arrested by Chinese police.
Tsingtao said in a statement to investors on Monday that it had 'reported the matter to the public security authorities at the first opportunity. '
'The public security authorities are presently involved in the investigation. The relevant batch of malt has been completely sealed.
'The company has also explained the situation on Tsingtao Beer’s official Weibo. At present, the production and operation of the Company are normal in every respect!'
The incident has caused Tsingtao a major headache, with its stock price plummeting nearly 7% on the Shanghai exchange, before rallying for a net drop of 1.15% on Monday.

The dissing of China in the mainstream media is on but Chinese beer I don’t drink the stuff.
What matters more in today’s economy would be some guy in China relieving himself on Huawei phones or computer chips.

Will they throw that batch away or will they just mark it ‘for export only.’
TsingTao is not bad beer. It’s probably on par if not better than Coors or Budweiser.
And unlike a host of Chinese companies they take their quality control seriously. They go after pirates and fakes of their product.
If they catch the guy he’s going to jail.
The punch has a little ‘wang’ in it.
“They go after pirates and fakes of their product.”
Yet they have no problem stealing technology and other products from other countries.
