Anheuser-Busch to Relocate and Expand Tangshan Brewery
"HONG KONG (March 28, 2008) - Anheuser-Busch announced today it will build a new brewery in the Fengnan District of Tangshan to replace a smaller downtown brewery. The move supports the local government's efforts to relocate industrial facilities outside the city and redevelop Tangshan's downtown into a more residential and commercial area. In 2004, Anheuser-Busch acquired Harbin Brewery Group and its 13 breweries. Harbin is China's oldest brewery, founded in 1900, and holds a leading position in Northeast China.

But it won't be for long, if the guys in the basement get their way."
