( February 2008 ) A bottling machine being used in 1945 as part of an Australian beer production operation Advertisement for Bulimba Gold Top beer, Queensland, circa 1933 Beer arrived in Australia at the beginning of British colonisation. In 2004 Australia was ranked fourth internationally in per capita beer consumption, at around 110 litres per year ; although, the nation ranked considerably lower in terms of total per capita alcohol consumption. The most popular beer style in modern Australia is lager. The oldest brewery still in operation is the Cascade Brewery, established in Tasmania in 1824. The largest Australian - owned brewery is the family - owned Coopers Brewery, as the other two major breweries Foster 's Group and Lion Nathan are owned by the South African SABMiller and the Japanese Kirin Brewing Company, respectively.

Within the beer sector, premium beers have a 7.8 % share of the market ; full strength beer has 70.6 % ; mid-strength holds 12 % ; and light beer has 9.6 %. 85 % of beer is produced by national brewers, the remainder by regional or microbreweries. Microbreweries manufacturing less than 30,000 litres receive a 60 % excise rebate. History 18th century The history of Australian beer starts very early in Australia 's colonial history. Captain James Cook brought beer with him on his ship Endeavour as a means of preserving drinking water. On 1 August 1768, as Cook was fitting out the Endeavour for its voyage, Nathaniel Hulme wrote to Joseph Banks with a recommendation : `` a quantity of Molasses and Turpentine, in order to brew Beer with, for your daily drink, when your Water becomes bad.... ( B ) rewing Beer at sea will be peculiarly useful in case you should have stinking water on board ; for I find by Experience that the smell of stinking water will be entirely destroyed by the process of fermentation. '' -- Letter to Joseph Banks 1768 Beer was still being consumed on - board two years later in 1770, when Cook was the first European to discover the east coast of Australia. The drink of choice for the first settlers and convicts was rum, as represented in a supposed traditional convict song : Cut yer name across me backbone Stretch me skin across yer drum Iron me up on Pinchgut Island From now to Kingdom Come. I 'll eat yer Norfolk Dumpling Like a juicy Spanish plum, Even dance the Newgate Hornpipe If ye 'll only gim me Rum ! The first official brewer in Australia was John Boston who brewed a beverage from Indian corn bittered with cape gooseberry leaves. It is likely though that beer was brewed unofficially much earlier. The first pub, the Mason Arms was opened in 1796 in Parramatta by James Larra, a freed convict. 19th century Rum was so popular -- and official currency was in such short supply -- that it became a semi-official currency for a period of time ( see Rum corps ), and even played a role in a short - lived military coup, the Rum rebellion in 1808. Drunkenness was a significant problem in the early colony : `` Drunkenness was a prevailing vice. Even children were to be seen in the streets intoxicated. On Sundays, men and women might be observed standing round the public - house doors, waiting for the expiration of the hours of public worship in order to continue their carousing. As for the condition of the prison population, that, indeed, is indescribable. Notwithstanding the severe punishment for sly grog selling, it was carried on to a large extent. Men and women were found intoxicated together, and a bottle of brandy was considered to be cheaply bought for 20 lashes... All that the vilest and most bestial of human creatures could invent and practise, was in this unhappy country invented and practised without restraint and without shame '' -- Marcus Clarke - For the Term of His Natural Life, 1867 As a means of reducing drunkenness, beer was promoted as a safer and healthier alternative to rum : `` The introduction of beer into general use among the inhabitants would certainly lessen the consumption of spirituous liquors. I have therefore in conformity with your suggestion taken measures for furnishing the colony with a supply of ten tons of Porter, six bags of hops, and two complete sets of brewing materials. '' -- Lord Hobart in a letter to Governor Philip King on 29 August 1802 Although modern Australian beer is predominantly lager, early Australian beer were exclusively top - fermented and quick - maturing ales. Lager was not brewed in Australia until 1885. Early beers were also brewed without the benefit of hops, as no - one had successfully cultivated hops in Australia and importation was difficult. James Squire was the first to successfully cultivate hops in 1804, and he also opened a pub and brewed beer. The Government Gazette from 1806 mentions that he was awarded a cow herd from the government for his efforts. In September 1804, a government - owned brewery opened in Parramatta, followed by a rival privately owned brewery three months later. The government brewery was sold two years later to Thomas Rushton, who was its head ( and only ) brewer. Brewing rapidly expanded in all of the Australian colonies and by 1871 there were 126 breweries in Victoria alone, which at the time had a population of only 800,000. Notable events from this period include : 1824 -- Peter Degraves starts the Cascade Brewery in Hobart. It is Australia 's oldest operational brewery. 1835 -- Tooth brewery established in Sydney. 1837 -- James Stokes establishes the Albion Brewery, Perth 's first brewery, which later became the Emu Brewery. 1838 -- John Warren starts `` The Torrens '', Adelaide 's first brewery. 1838 -- John Mills establishes the first brewery in Melbourne. 1853 -- Queensland 's first brewery, `` The Brisbane Brewery '' is opened by John Beach. 1862 -- Thomas Cooper establishes the Coopers Brewery in the Adelaide suburb of Norwood. The brewery continues to be owned and operated by the Cooper family, and since 2011 has been the largest Australian - owned brewery. 1864 -- Carlton brewery opens in Melbourne. 1881 -- CS Button opens the Esk Brewery in Launceston ( acquired by James Boag & Son in 1883 ). 1885 -- Gambrinus brewery in Melbourne becomes the first brewery in Australia to brew lager. 1887 -- The Foster brothers arrive from New York with refrigeration equipment and establish the first lager brewery to use refrigeration in Australia. 1889 -- Lager is first brewed in Queensland at the Castlemaine and Quinlan brewery. 20th century By 1900 the number of breweries had begun to dwindle as a result of the recession of the 1890s. In 1901, just after Federation, the new federal government passed the Beer and Excise Act. This act regulated the making and selling of beer and made homebrewing illegal. The provisions in this act, regarded by many as draconian, led to the closure of many breweries. In Sydney 16 out of 21 breweries closed either immediately after the act 's introduction or soon afterwards. The remaining breweries began a process of consolidation, with larger breweries buying out the smaller ones. Within a short period of time, only two breweries remained in Sydney : Tooths and Tooheys. In Melbourne, five breweries merged in 1907 to form the giant Carlton and United Breweries. 21st century Since 2011, Kirin - owned Lion Nathan and SABMiller - owned Foster 's Group own every major brewery in Australia, with the exception of Coopers. Boag 's Brewery, previously owned by San Miguel, was sold to Lion Nathan for A $ 325 million in November 2007. In 2006 Boag 's Brewery reported total revenues of A $92 million. Although Foster 's Lager is not a popular domestic beer in the 21st century, its popularity internationally has grown and the product is made mostly for export. In January 2005, the brand was one of the ten best - selling beers globally. The introduction of the Tap King product by Lion Nathan in mid-2013 caused controversy due to the perceived impact upon alcohol venues. The product is a home draught beer dispenser and raised concerns regarding lower patronage rates for venues due to a greater incentive for consumers to drink beer in home environments. The product is sold with a CO2 gas chamber that is cooled for eight hours prior to use. Beers by region Before federation in 1901, Australia was a patchwork of separate colonies, each with different laws regulating the production and sale of alcohol. In addition, until the late 1880s when the rail network began to link the capital cities together, the only means of transporting foods in bulk between the colonies was by sea. This prevented even the largest breweries from distributing significant amounts outside their home city. This allowed strong regional brands to emerge ; and, although all but one of the major regional brands ( Coopers ) are now owned by multinational companies, loyalty to the local brewery remains strong today. New South Wales : Tooheys, Reschs, Hahn, James Squire and KB Lager. Northern Territory : NT Draught Queensland : Castlemaine XXXX, Great Northern Brewing Co. and Powers South Australia : Coopers, West End and Southwark Tasmania : Boags in the north, Cascade in the south Victoria : Carlton Draught, Victoria Bitter and Melbourne Bitter Western Australia : Swan, Emu and Kalgoorlie In recent years, mixing of beer tastes due to a more mobile population, major campaigns by the larger breweries to spread their brands outside their home state and the growth of the `` premium '' beer market have started to erode the traditional loyalties. Despite this, the brand loyalties are still strong, with only Tooheys and Victoria Bitter gaining any significant market share outside their home state. The brewery on the external Australian territory of Norfolk Island is one of few places left to brew and sell cask - conditioned ale. Its varieties include Bee Sting ( a bright ale ), Mutineer ( similar to a British bitter ) and Bligh 's Revenge ( a dark ale ). While the overwhelming proportion of beer produced is lager ( approximately 95 % ), dark beers and stout are still made. Guinness has a strong following in many states, based on the growth of Irish - themed pubs and the Irish roots of many Australians and is increasingly available on tap. Guinness made and sold in Australia comes in two varieties : a keg version and a bottled version. The keg version is 4.3 % alcohol by volume, similar to the Irish domestic brew. There is also a 6 % alcohol by volume bottled version that is unique to Australia, being a `` foreign extra stout '' variant. Beers produced using traditional methods Sheaf Stout Most of these varieties claim to be made by `` traditional '' methods, using quality ingredients.

Microbreweries exist throughout the country, including small towns, but the availability of such beers on - tap in venues is often limited. The Mountain Goat Brewery, located in Richmond, Melbourne, Victoria is a notable Australian microbrewery. As of 2012, Mountain Goat exports to the United States ( US ) and co-founder Dave Bonighton explained to a Los Angeles publication in September 2012 : We 're a small brewery run by two former homebrewers who, for 15 years, have been making the kinds of beers that we like to drink. Most breweries brew to a formula, something born in a focus group or in a marketing team meeting. We come up with our ideas at the bar. Microbrewery Nail Brewing, from Perth, Western Australia, produced a beer in 2010 using water from an Antarctic iceberg, and sold it at auction for US $1,850. The batch of 30 bottles was created to raise money for the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, which assisted with the procuring of the ice. Brewed under licence Imported premium beers have started to gain market share in Australia. The two Australian corporate brewers responded to this by signing licence agreements with foreign brands to brew their beers here. Foster 's Group brews Kronenbourg. Coopers Brewery brews Carlsberg in Australia. Lion Nathan locally produces Guinness, Heineken, Beck 's, Stella Artois and Kirin. Brewers claim that their locally produced product tastes better because it is fresher, and local operations are overseen by the parent brewers using strict guidelines. However, groups such as the Australian Consumers Association say that such beers should have clearer, more prominent labels to inform drinkers. Sizes Beer glasses See also : Beer glassware Prior to metrication in Australia, one could buy beer in glasses of size 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 15 and 20 ( imperial ) fluid ounces. Each sized glass had a different name in each Australian state. These were replaced by glasses of size 115, 140, 170, 200, 285, 425 and 570 ml. As Australians travel more, the differences are decreasing. In the 21st century, most pubs no longer have a glass smaller than 200 ml ( 7 imp fl oz ) ; typically available are 200 ml, 285 ml and 425 ml, and increasingly many pubs now have pints ( 570 ml, 20 imp fl oz ). Many imported beers are served in their own branded glasses of various sizes, including 250 millilitres ( 8.8 imp fl oz ), 330 millilitres ( 11.6 imp fl oz ) and 500 millilitres ( 17.6 imp fl oz ) for many European beers.

Take a butcher 's hook at the butcher glass A glass of beer, produced by the Newstead Brewing Company With the introduction of the National Trade Measurement Regulations in 2009 there are no prescribed sizes for beverage measures for the sale of beer, ale and stout. Terms such as seven, middy, pot or schooner do not legally specify a particular size. A typical `` schooner '' glass can be calibrated to hold 420ml to the rim but poured with 15mm of head resulting in 375ml of liquid. South Australia in particular has some unusually named measures : 6 fl oz ( 170 ml ) -- prior to metrification this glass was known as a `` Butcher '' 7 fl oz ( 200 ml ) known as a `` Butcher '' 10 fl oz ( 285 ml ) known as a `` schooner ''. Prior to metrication and standardisation of glass sizes throughout Australia, schooners in SA were 9 fluid ounces. 15 fl oz ( 425 ml ) known as a `` pint '' 20 fl oz ( 570 ml ) known as an `` imperial pint '' Note that the SA `` schooner '' and `` pint '' are considerably smaller than the measures of the same name used elsewhere : the SA `` schooner '' ( 285 ml ) is the same size as other States ' pot / middy / half pint the SA `` pint '' ( 425 ml ) is the same size as other States ' schooner, and is 0.75 imperial pint. Usage and understanding of these names is now generally restricted to people born before about 1960. ( i.e. `` Baby Boomers '' and before. ) In contemporary SA pubs and restaurants, the most frequent measures are the `` schooner '' of 285 ml, ( an `` imperial half pint '' ), and the `` pint '' of 425 ml. `` Imperial pints '' are also increasingly popular. Also increasingly popular inside pubs and restaurants is the sale of `` premium '' and non-locally brewed beer in bottles in the size range 300 ml to 375 ml. Headmasters is one of the most common glass manufacturers, at least for the schooner size. Many pubs in Sydney and Melbourne particularly, offer Guinness style and / or conical pint glasses along with tankard glass and British dimpled glass pint mugs. Larger serving measurements have become increasingly popular. Jugs, 1 fluid litre Maß in German - themed bars and beer towers ( although technically illegal due to strict self - service of alcohol laws are used in some Asian bars / karaoke parlours ) have grown in popularity around Australia in tourist spots. Beer bottles The NT Draught Darwin Stubby Prior to metrication, beer bottles were frequently ⁄ of an imperial gallon -- 26.667 imperial fluid ounces ( 758 ml ) ; a carton of beer contained a dozen bottles, and hence 2 gallons of beer. With time, bottles `` shrank '' to 26 imperial fluid ounces ( 739 ml ), but with metrication they became 750 millilitres ( 26.4 imp fl oz ), with a carton containing 9 litres. ( 2 imperial gallons = 9,092 ml. ) With the use of aluminium, cans of 375ml became increasingly popular, and then 375ml bottles, named `` stubbies '' because, compared to `` traditional '' bottles, they were `` stubby ''. A carton of 9 litres of beer in stubbies ( 24 bottles ) became known as a `` slab '' because, compared to the more cube - like shape of the `` traditional '' cartons, they were flatter and hence like slabs. Traditional bottles subsequently became known as `` long necks '', to distinguish them from stubbies. In Western Australia, the 750ml `` long neck '' bottle is also known as a `` king brown '' because of the size and typical brown coloured glass. In the 21st century, most bottled beer in Australia is sold in either 375 ml ( Stubby ) or 750 ml ( Long Neck ) sizes. Carlton United briefly `` upsized '' to 800 ml ; however, this has since been reduced to the original 750 ml. Bottle sizes of 330 ml ( and to a lesser extent 345 ml and 355 ml ) are becoming increasingly common, particularly among microbreweries, so - called `` premium '' beers, and imported beers. ( The common 12 US fl oz bottle contains 355 ml. ) In the Northern Territory, the once - common `` Darwin Stubby '', a large ( 2.0 - litre ) bottle, is now sold largely as a tourist gimmick, but very successfully. Most bottles are lightweight `` single use only '', though some are still reusable, and in some cases ( e.g. Coopers 750 ml ), breweries are reintroducing refillable bottles, such as the Growler ( a large bottle of approximately 2 litre intended for re-use ) sold by Four Pines Brewery - a great joy to home brewers. In South Australia, container deposits on beer bottles and cans, and some other types of beverage containers, support a well established network of recycling centres, providing significant environmental benefits as well as generating employment opportunities for unskilled workers.
