Answer 3

Ballarat Bitter

Ballarat Bitter is a 4.9% (abv) Australian beer, originally brewed in Ballarat, Australia by the Ballarat Brewing Company. The beer is of the bitter top fermented ale variety, and was traditionally sold in 750ml longnecked bottles, with the label featuring the character "Ballarat Bertie", who was conceived in 1926 on a train journey between Melbourne and Sydney by a Ballarat Brewing Company director and an advertising agency.

The Ballarat Brewing Company beer division was bought out by Carlton & United Beverages (or Carlton & United Breweries as it was known at the time, commonly abbreviated to 'CUB') in 1989, and the Ballarat bottling operations subsequently closed. The Ballarat Brewing Company itself, board of directors and ownership of 160 pubs across Victoria continued until taken over by Fosters Group in 1997 with its buyout of remaining shares.

In December 2006, following a request by the crew of the Anzac class frigate HMAS Ballarat (which uses the caricature of "Ballarat Bertie" from the label as a mascot) to Catherine King, the Member of Parliament representing the Division of Ballarat, Foster's Group (CUB's parent company) created a limited run of the beer. An initial release of 40 pallets (4,800 slabs, 115,200 individual cans) sold out within days of release, with $1 from every slab donated to the United Way charities. A second run of 50 pallets was released shortly after.

In November 2011 another limited edition release of the beer was brewed by CUB, with the 300 kegs being distributed between 26 licensed premises in Ballarat for the Ballarat Cup weekend. A limited supply of cans will be available the following month.

Beaten Track Brewery

The Beaten Track Brewery is an Australian brewery, located in the city of Kalgoorlie-Boulder, in the heart of the Goldfields-Esperance region of Western Australia.

The brewery was founded by owner / proprietor Nick Galton-Fenzi in 2007. Its establishment marked the return to Kalgoorlie of brewing for local sales after an absence of 25 years.

In 1982, Bond Corporation, owned by Australian businessman Alan Bond, closed and dismantled the Kalgoorlie Brewing and Ice Company as a part of a strategic realignment of its Swan Brewery operations. Kalgoorlie, a major mining centre, had enjoyed a rich history of local beer brewing since the establishment of the city in the late 1800s, supplying beer to the large population of miners throughout the Eastern Goldfields. The loss of local brewing (and the locally produced "Hannans Lager") was much lamented by the inhabitants of the Eastern Goldfields.

Beaten Track brewery has taps in a number of bars and clubs in Kalgoorlie and sells its bottled products at a number of outlets in Kalgoorlie and Perth. Bottled or kegged product is available for direct sale from the brewery, which is also open to the public for functions and tastings.

Bluetongue Brewery

Bluetongue Brewery

Bluetongue Brewery was an Australian beer company owned by SABMiller. The brewery had a capacity of 100 million litres per annum, and supplied beer to all Australian states. On 23 January 2014, it was announced that Bluetongue would be phased out and discontinued as a brand.

Bluetongue Brewery was founded in 2003 by four Hunter Valley businessmen, Philip Hele, Bruce Tyrrell, Ian Burford and Paul Hannan in Cameron Park, Hunter Valley. In 2005 they sold a 50% share in the brewery to interests associated with John Singleton. In December 2007 the consortium sold the brewery to Pacific Beverages, a joint venture between Coca-Cola Amatil and SABMiller. In November 2010 the company opened a $120M (AUS) brewery in the Central Coast suburb of Warnervale to produce and package the Bluetongue premium beer brands. The brewery, the second largest in New South Wales had the initial capacity of 50 million litres per annum. In 2012, Coca-Cola Amatil sold their 50% share in Pacific Beverages to SABMiller, who had acquired Carlton & United Breweries (the Australian Beer, Cider & Spirits (BCS) division of the Foster's Group).

On 23 January 2014, SABMiller announced that the Bluetongue brand would be discontinued. 64 staff at the Warnervale brewery were told by Carlton and United Breweries they would lose their jobs towards the middle of the year and that the brewing equipment would be relocated to its Yatala brewery in Queensland with the remaining assets to be sold off.

Broo Brewery

Broo Brewing Company (Broo Limited) is a brewing company founded by partners Kent Grogan and Kelly Davidson in Sorrento, Victoria, Australia, in September 2009.

The brewery was founded by Kent Grogan and his partner Kelly Davidson, with the first beer, Broo Premium Lager, produced in September 2009.

The company was started on the basis that Broo would remain 100% Australian owned. Grogan stated at the time that the company's charter dictates that the company can never transfer shares to any company or individual that resides in a foreign jurisdiction.

In 2011, a publicity program associated with the lager involved giving away shares in Grogan's brewery. Grogan estimates that over 7,000 people now hold shares in the company. In August 2012 the refused to list the company because it deemed its policy to restrict foreign ownership "inappropriate". In June 2013 the company launched its second beer, Australia Draught, with the company pledging to donate 20% of its profits from the sale of the beer to two charities - the SAS Resources Fund and Commando Welfare Trust.

In 2011 Broo Ltd. received the Telstra Business Awards 'People’s Choice Award' for Victorian small to medium-sized businesses. In 2012 advertising for Broo Beer, created by Melbourne agency, Nick and Phil, won the single and overall categories for round five of the 2012 Siren Awards.

Broo beer sponsored Scott Saunders Racing NASCAR team and Melbourne City Wrestling events.
