Beer in Australia
Beer in Australia is a significant aspect of the national culture. The country's beer market is dominated by two companies, Foster's and Lion, which own the majority of breweries. The consumption of beer in Australia has been declining since the early 1970s, and beer has been replaced by wine as the most popular alcoholic drink.
History[edit | edit source]
The first brewery in Australia was established in 1796 by a team of British convicts. The James Squire brewery, named after its founder, was located in Sydney, New South Wales. The brewery produced a variety of beers, including porter, ale, and small beer. The popularity of beer in Australia grew rapidly during the 19th century, with many new breweries opening across the country.
Modern industry[edit | edit source]

Consumption[edit | edit source]
The consumption of beer in Australia has been declining since the early 1970s. This decline has been attributed to a variety of factors, including changing consumer tastes, increased health awareness, and the rising popularity of wine. Despite this decline, beer remains a popular drink in Australia, particularly among young adults.
