                  Foster's Lager is an internationally distributed Australian brand
                  of lager.

                  
Foster's was created by two
                  Irish American brothers, William M. and Ralph R. Foster, who
                  arrived in Melbourne from New York in 1886.

                  
The brothers began brewing
                  Foster's Lager in November 1888. It was made available to the
                  public from February 1889.

                  
The product was first exported
                  in 1901, when bottles were sent to Australian combatants in the
                  Boer War.

                  
Advertising from the early
                  20th century claimed Foster's Lager was adjuncted with cane sugar.
                  A number of breweries advertised a sugar content

                  
(e.g. Bulimba) as it implied
                  a lighter less bitter brew than was commonly sold. (Rice malt
                  and very light barley malts replaced sugar, which can be troublesome
                  for brewers.).

                  
As per the tradition started
                  in the early 20th century, the water used in the production is
                  sourced from the nearby Yarra River which attributes to the beer's
                  unique taste.
