The Great Northern Brewing Co., commonly known as Great Northern brews a full and a mid strength Lager beer[1] , owned by Carlton & United Breweries (CUB), it is brewed in Queensland at the CUB Yatala Brewery. It comes in 330mL "stubbies" or 375mL "tinnies" at 3.5% Abv or 4.2% Abv.[2]
Overview
The Cairns Brewery Company opened the Cairns Brewery in 1924. In 1927 the Cairns Brewery Company ran out of money and a new company, Northern Australian Breweries was formed to take over and continue its affairs under the supervision of Captain Auguste de Bavay. It is a curious feature of the Queensland brewing industry that a great many more of its early brewers and beer entrepreneurs came from distant Victoria than from neighbouring New South Wales.[3]. The brewery produced a beer called Cairns Draught. The brewery was acquired by CUB in 1931 and was CUB's first brewery operating in Queensland. The Cairns brewery closed down in 1992. [4]
In 2010 CUB announced a new brand of beer, Great Northern Brewing Co.[5] Great Northern is named after CUB’s first brewery in the state. It revives the classic marlin logo of the discontinued Cairns Draught.[6]
In the bottles the full strength 'original' style beers are identifiable by the Gold coloured bottle top and a White coloured Marlin fish on its label whereas the mid strength has a Silver coloured bottle cap with a Black Marlin on the label.
