China Resources Snow Breweries Ltd, a joint venture between SABMiller and a subsidiary of China Resources Enterprise, has said it would invest US$35.3 million to build a new brewery in Harbin, capital of Northeast China's Heilongjiang Province.

Construction of the facility is scheduled for completion within two years, with an initial production capacity of 2.3 million hectolitres. The brewery will mainly be used to produce beer under the "Snow" brand, which will primarily be targeted at the Harbin market and western parts of Heilongjiang.
