Beer in Australia

Beer in Australia can be traced to the beginning of British colonisation. Lager is by far the most popular type of beer consumed in Australia.

The oldest brewery still in operation is the Cascade Brewery, established in Tasmania in 1824 and now owned by Asahi. The largest Australian-owned brewery is Coopers Brewery; the other two major breweries, Carlton & United Breweries and Lion Nathan, are owned by Japan's Asahi Breweries and Kirin Company respectively.
