A newly opened beer consumption facility in Qingdao, Shandong province, has become a social media sensation with its innovative "beer stock market" concept, drawing massive crowds for a unique drinking experience in the city renowned for its brewery brand.

The Qingdao Beer Exchange, located on the Taidong pedestrian street, features a 3-meter-tall, 360-degree smart beer column. Visitors can taste 10 beer flavors and watch price fluctuations, directly influenced by their purchases, on a large circular screen in real time.

Launched during the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, which ran from May 31 to June 2, the exchange saw a daily average of more than 10,000 visitors and single-day sales exceeding 1.2 million milliliters of beer during the period, injecting new energy into Qingdao's cultural and tourism market.

With 30 taps, the exchange offers a rich selection of beers, including classic Tsingtao brews such as original draft and pure draft, as well as fruit-infused options such as lychee, peach and passion fruit. Each beer's price fluctuates like a stock would do at the exchange.

A dynamic circular display above the facility flashes real-time prices and sales data.

"The process is simple yet thrilling — grab a cup, scan the QR code, pour your beer and watch the market shift instantly," said Gao Ming, a local resident who tried the experience with her friends. "It's like being a beer trader."

Li Chao, who is responsible for the project, explained that the system recalculates prices every 10 minutes based on demand.

"Just like in a real stock market, popular beers see price surges, while less-purchased ones dip," Li added.

There is a 10 percent daily price fluctuation limit for both rising and falling prices, ensuring fairness and transparency for customers. Rising prices turn red, and falling ones turn blue. At the start of each business day, prices are reset to a base price.

Based on the operations of the past week, the facility operator considers reducing the base price and expanding the daily price rising and falling limit of the daily price to 20 percent, Li said.

During the Dragon Boat Festival, fruity brews such as passion fruit and lychee emerged as the most popular options, consistently hitting their price ceilings, while all beers remained reasonably priced between 7 yuan (97 cents) and 15 yuan per cup.

The idea for the exchange was born after Li's team observed self-serve beer dispensers in other cities.

"We wanted something more interactive with customers that also resonated with Qingdao's identity as China's beer capital," she said.

After finalizing the idea in April, they designed and built the structure in 25 days, launching the project in time for the festival.

"The circular screen flashing live data creates an immersive trading-floor vibe, allowing customers to play 'investors' while enjoying their drinks," Li said.

Guo Qiang, deputy director of the Taidong pedestrian street management committee, called the project a creative fusion of Qingdao's century-old beer heritage and modern consumption trends.

"The Qingdao Beer Exchange is a key extension of our 'Beer IP' strategy, aligning with our vision for a smarter, more distinctive, and youth-friendly commercial hub," Guo said.

Tsingtao Brewery Co, China's earliest beer production enterprise based in Qingdao, achieved product sales volume of 7.54 million kiloliters last year. Tsingtao's brand value reached 264.68 billion yuan, ranking first in the Chinese beer industry, according to the company's annual performance report.
