Beers and Australia
The first brewery in Australia was opened in 1804 by John Boston in Sydney. By the early 1820s, more breweries were popping up, including brands that remain popular today, such as Carlton & United Breweries (CUB), Tooheys, and XXXX.
True game-changing innovation arrived in the late 1820s - craft beer. After honing brewing and beer-making techniques, alongside utilising local ingredients, the face of beer transformed into revolutionary craftsmanship. Today, beer (and its many varieties) are one of the most popular drinks in Australia and at BWS.
