Operations

For over 150 years, Carlton United Brewers’ beers have been consumer favourites.

Today we produce many of Australia and the Pacific’s favourite beer, cider and spirits brands. We operate eight breweries and two cideries and one distillery in Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific. We manage one of Australia’s largest distribution networks and Foster’s international beer business sells four key beer brands in 45 countries.

Carlton United Brewers operates Yatala Brewery in Queensland, the Abbotsford Brewery in Melbourne, the historic Cascade Brewery in Hobart, the Bluetongue Brewery in Warnervale NSW and a craft brewery in Melbourne.. Carlton United Brewers continues to invest in its production network to increase flexibility and better meet customer and consumer demands through innovative packaging solutions, and new product developments.

Carlton United Brewers makes cider in Campbelltown and also operates breweries in Fiji, Samoa and a distillery in Fiji.

In 2007, Carlton United Brewers transformed its Australian logistics network. The company now uses a franchise distribution model, with a council of third party logistics providers. The network now services over 17,000 customers with more than 800,000 deliveries made per year.

The network transformation has driven a number of efficiencies, including improved customer service levels and fewer daily deliveries. Nine out of 10 customers rate Carlton United Brewers’ logistics service as "the same or better than its competitors".
