The state council is still compiling a list of 10 mainland breweries to receive state support, including capital injection and possible tax breaks.
The list is being made up as the mainland media campaigns for more protection for domestic industries.
An official at the Light Industry Council said a report had been submitted to the state council, now formulating concrete measures to support breweries.
'The whole thing is at a very initial stage,' he said.
'We have not even decided which are the 10 breweries to receive support from the government.' He said the report was mainly a description of the latest developments in the brewing industry.
He said the cabinet would decide how to support breweries.
'We have passed the buck to the state council now,' he said.
