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.

The pair were reportedly external workers, though this has not yet been confirmed by Tsingtao Brewery. 

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. 

MailOnline has contacted Tsingtao Brewery for comment.
