Lauterbach is a craft beer brand created by Shuifa Group and Germany's only 10-star winery, Riegele. With its fresh taste and unique malt aroma, its beer is popular at home and abroad.

Having resettled in Heze and Qingdao cities in Shandong province and Guangyuan city in Southwest China's Sichuan province, Shuifa Group placed the fourth Lauterbach craft brewery in Chinan district. With an investment of 356 million yuan ($55.57 million), it has a land area of 27,649 square meters, and a construction area of 28,740 square meters. The annual output can reach 20,000 tons after completion.

The unique resources of mineral spring, hot spring and tourism of Chinan are in line with the strategic layout of Shuifa Group. The launch of the project demonstrates the abundant mineral resources and vitality of Changbai Mountain, injects new impetus into the construction of a livable city and marks a new round of high-quality development in the region.

The initiative will contribute to the district's blueprint of building a beer town that features a hot spring resort during the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25) and boost economic growth, employment and tourism.

In recent years, Chinan district has paid close attention to project construction and investment promotion and attracted a lot of well-known enterprises such as Evergrande Spring, Greenwoods Investment Group, the Prudential Hotel, Changchun Natural Gas Group, Shuifa Group and Tianmu Group, further boosting social and economic development in the region.
