Foster's Group
Foster's Group is an Australian beer brewing company known for its production of the internationally recognized beer brand, Foster's Lager. The company was founded in Melbourne in 1888 by two American brothers, William and Ralph Foster.
History[edit | edit source]
The Foster brothers arrived in Melbourne from New York in 1886 with a dream of creating a beer that would appeal to the tastes of Australians. They set up their brewery in 1888 and introduced Foster's Lager to the public. The beer was an immediate success due to its unique taste and the innovative use of refrigeration during brewing, which was a novelty at the time.
In the early 20th century, the company expanded its operations beyond Australia, making Foster's Lager available in the UK and other parts of the world. By the mid-20th century, Foster's Group had become one of the largest brewers globally.
In 2011, the company was acquired by SABMiller, a multinational brewing and beverage company. Today, Foster's Group continues to be a major player in the global beer market, with Foster's Lager being one of the most popular beer brands worldwide.
Products[edit | edit source]
Foster's Group's flagship product is Foster's Lager, a pale lager that is known for its crisp taste and refreshing finish. The company also produces a variety of other beer brands, including Victoria Bitter, Crown Lager, and Carlton Draught.
Operations[edit | edit source]
Foster's Group operates numerous breweries in Australia and overseas. The company's headquarters are located in Melbourne, Australia. Foster's Group also has a significant presence in the UK, where Foster's Lager is one of the best-selling beer brands.
Impact[edit | edit source]

The company's innovative use of refrigeration in the brewing process helped to revolutionize the industry and set a new standard for beer production. Furthermore, the popularity of Foster's Lager has helped to promote Australian beer on the international stage.
