GUANGZHOU, Aug. 28 (Xinhua) -- Carlsberg Group, a multinational brewer headquartered in Denmark, announced on Wednesday that its Carlsberg Foshan Sanshui Brewery, with an annual capacity of 500,000 kiloliters, has officially started operations.

With a total investment of nearly 3 billion yuan (about 420.9 million U.S. dollars), the new brewery in the Sanshui District of the city of Foshan, south China's Guangdong Province, is the company's 27th in China, meant to supply the south China region and nearby markets.
