Carlton Draught Can

Carlton Draught is a lager beer made by Carlton & United Beverages. It is the most popular full-strength beer sold on tap in Victoria, Australia. It is also sold in bottles and cans, but in this market its stablemate Victoria Bitter is probably more popular. It can also be found on tap in New South Wales, Queensland and South Australia and Victoria. In 2003, its formulation was changed slightly to reduce the alcohol content from 5.0% to 4.6% in response to an increase in alcohol taxes by the Federal government. The logo was also changed, and a new advertising campaign was introduced to target a wider market. Featuring quirky, comical advertisements and billboards; the beer was promoted as simply being "made from beer." It is the iconic beer of the Melbourne Cricket Ground (another famous Australian sporting landmark in that is also made in Melbourne).
