China's oldest brewery — founded in 1900 by Czech entrepreneurs in Harbin, the city on the Manchurian plains that was then a Russian railway hub. Harbin Brewery predates Tsingtao by three years. The brewery reflects Harbin's extraordinary multicultural history: a city that was simultaneously Chinese, Russian, Jewish and Central European. Now owned by ABInBev, Harbin Beer remains the dominant brand in China's frigid northeast.
