FOSTERS LAGER

Foster’s Lager is Australia’s original, full strength lager - famous for the slogan "Australian for Beer".


Created by the Foster Brothers in 1887, this lighter European-style lager became the beer of choice for Australian beer drinkers creating a milestone in brewing history - largely thanks to the brothers' innovative refrigeration process.


Foster's Lager is an internationally distributed Australian brand available in more than 150 countries.


Foster's Lager is sold in the US by a partnership with Miller Brewing Company. Only a few breweries in the world are entrusted with Foster's remarkable recipe.


KRONENBOURG 1664

The Strisselspalt hop has been exclusive to Alsace, the home of KRONENBOURG 1664, since 1885 and is a unique variety of French aromatic hops. It is a 5% continental premium lager, more bitter than sweet, with a distinctive citrus flavour predominantly reminiscent of grapefruit.


KRONENBOURG 1664 was launched in the UK in 1952 to mark The Queen’s accession to the throne. KRONENBOURG 1664's distinctive continental style fount can be found in bars and restaurants and features a head injection tap (HIT) that delivers the perfect pour, giving a tight, smooth head that lasts the whole pint long. So you can make your well-earned beer a nice slow, well-earned beer.


BECKS VIER


Four percent by Beck’s.


Beck’s Vier is a 4% pilsner lager brewed with the same uncompromising approach to quality and authenticity as Beck’s.


Imported from Bremen, Germany, Beck’s Vier is brewed with precision to the Reinheitsgebot purity law, which ensures that only four pure ingredients are ever involved. This unique blend of golden barley, Bavarian hops, pure glacier water and unique yeast gives Beck’s Vier its clean, crisp, full bodied taste and exceptional refreshment.

THATCHERS GOLD

In 1904 William John Thatcher first began making cider on the family farm in Sandford to use as part of his farm-workers’ wages. Now more than one hundred years later, Thatchers has developed into one of Britain’s leading producers.


Thatchers Gold is full of flavour from English apples, many of which are harvested from our own family orchards in Somerset.


Made in Somerset using traditional techniques and expertise gained since 1904, this crafted medium dry cider has a smooth, refreshing appley taste and a bright sparkle. Enjoy Thatchers Gold cider chilled or over ice.

BULMERS STRONGBOW
Bulmers strongbow was founded in 1887 in Hereford, England by Percy Bulmer, the 20 year old son of a local clergyman, taking his mother's advice to make a career in food or drink 'because neither ever go out of fashion.'

Using apples from the orchard at his father's rectory and an old stone press on the farm next door, young Percy made the first drop of cider upon which the family fortune would be made. Today Bulmers make 65% of the five million hectolitres sold annually in the UK and the bulk of the exports.


Strongbow is a crisp, premium cider which delivers maximum refreshment in an authentic, traditional English recipe.

With its clean refreshing taste and striking livery, Strongbow appeals to cider beer drinkers everywhere.

SCRUMPY JACK

Scrumpy Jack's origins begin at Symonds Cider of Stoke Lacy in 1973, when Bill Symonds maintained and developed it as a premium naturally produced cider. The family firm was taken over by Greenall & Whitley in 1984 and sold to Bulmers in 1989.

Exports of Scrumpy Jack began to Ireland in 1990, Spain in 1991 and Sweden in 1992. In 2000, UK sales exceeded 200 million litres. The brand was also publicised by Symonds official sponsorship of the England national rugby union team in the mid 1990s, the English cricket team, and the Cricket World Cup in 1999. The original Stoke Lacey plant closed in 2000.


The cider is 6% alc. vol. When poured it is a dark yellow-golden colour and has a dry, apple sour, slightly astringent flavour.

GUINNESS

It all started with just one man, but it's not down to a single 'eureka' moment. The history of GUINNESS stout is a stirring tale of inspiration, dedication, ingenuity and effort. It's over two centuries of sublime brewing craft, a remarkable knack for spreading the word and more than a few leaps of faith. It's the story of how a unique Irish stout became, with a little magic, one of the World's best-loved beers.


Swirling clouds tumble as the storm begins to calm, settle, breathe in the moment, then break through the smooth, light head to the bittersweet reward. Unmistakably its GUINNESS from the first velvet sip to the last, lingering drop. And every deep-dark satisfying mouthful in between.
