Last night saw the big trade launch celebrating the arrival of Coors into Australia. Some 350 guests from throughout the Sydney drinks industry gathered at the Coogee Bay Hotel for the party, which saw the Coors Explorers (resplendent in icicle-lade beards and frost-bitten faces, no less) bursting from Coors beer fridges in a blizzard of snow and abseiling into the venue from up on high.
There’s a a big industry bash to celebrate the release of Coors into the Aussie market next Thursday the 19th at the Coogee Bay Hotel (we hear they’re going to relieve a sweltering Sydney summer night with a bracing taste of Colorado’s Rocky Mountains and it’s a sight you won’t want to miss).
Since its launch in the US in 1995, the Blue Moon Belgian White Belgian-style wheat ale has grown in popularity (these days you’ll be sure to find the flavoursome beer on tap in pretty much every airport bar across the country) and served to help ignite the interest in non-mainstream styles of beer there. Now, as part of CCA’s efforts to get back into beer in a big way, Blue Moon can be found across Australia.
One of the Pacific’s best-kept secrets the Fiji Rum Co. has been producing award-winning rums since 1977. Following the acquisition of the Fijian Brewery and Distillery by Coca-Cola Amatil (CCA), the range of iconic Fijian Rums will soon be available in Australia.
