Another Aussie brew hits the U.S.


The commercials tell us Foster's is Australian for beer, but it obviously isn't the only word for the brew. Try Boag's.

The flagship brand of Boag's Brewery, located on the island of Tasmania off the southeast Australian mainland, is being introduced to the American market on a phased-in basis.

Boag's Premium Lager is a European-style beer made from pilsner malts, fermented at a low temperature, then given an extended maturation period.

Boag's, at 5% alcohol by volume, has won gold medals from the International Monde Selection for eight consecutive years and was voted Best Australian Premium Beer by Australian retailers for three consecutive years. It is available in 12.68-ounce (375ml) longneck green bottles, and retails for $6.99 to $7.99 for a 6-pack.
