Located in the Yellow Sea port from which it takes its name, the museum at China's best-known brewery contains two-dozen exhibits that bear titles like "Mystic Yeast." The Bavarian Purity Law of 1516 gets a display, as does a 4,000-year-old Sumerian hymn to Ninkasi, the goddess of brewing.

At times (“Cannibal’s Hymn” and the title track in particular) this is rock and roll in all its arena-mystic-pot-cloud 1970 glory; drummer Robert Donahoe must have found John Bonham’s drumset on eBay.
