[/QB]I wouldn't go on about NZ numeracy mate, since CUB is owned by Fosters I don't think CUB has quite the market share you think - maybe Fosters does - which Singaporeans own that now??

Brian Rock Posted September 25, 2002 Share Posted September 25, 2002 Time to play beer-grog. Foster’s Group Limited is the parent company. It’s an Australian public company and has four operating arms, with two of these handling beer: Foster’s Brewing International handles the non-Australian business, while CUB (Carlton & United Breweries) handles the Australian business. CUB’s beer brands are Carlton Cold, Carlton Draught, Carlton Midstrength, Cascade Premium Lager, Cascade Premium Light, Crown Lager, Foster's Lager, Foster's LightIce and Victoria Bitter. There are a number of sources that give CUB a 55% market share, such as this Foster’s Group presentation at the Asian Investment Conference in March this year ( http://www.fosters.com.au/corporate/news/speeches/2002/hkslides.pdf ), and the following independent industry site ( http://www.thehospitalitysite.com.au/articles/64/0c007e64.asp ). Lion Nathan Limited originated in New Zealand, and its three key business units are its Australian brewing operations, New Zealand liquor activities and Chinese operations. It has a massive number of brands in Australia: Emu Bitter, Emu Export, Eumundi, Carbine Stout, Hahn Ice, Hahn Longbrew, Southwark Bitter, Southwark Old Stout, Southwark Pale Ale, Swan Draught, Swan Stout, Tooheys Maxim, Tooheys New, Tooheys Pils, Tooheys Old, Tooheys Red, West End 107 Pilsener, West End Draught, West End Export, XXXX Bitter, XXXX DL Lager, XXXX Draught, Castlemaine Sovereign, Hahn Premium, Hahn Witbier, James Squire Amber Ale, James Squire India Pale Ale, James Squire Pilsener, James Squire Porter, Southwark Premium, Tooheys Extra Dry, Southwark White, Swan Mid Lager, Tooheys Gold, West End Gold, XXXX Gold, Emu Draft, Hahn Premium Light, Tooheys Blue Ice, Tooheys Blue, West End Light, and XXXX Light Bitter. Despite the large number of brands, Lion Nathan’s 2001 Annual Report put their total market share at the 42.1% mark, as does http://www.thehospitalitysite.com.au/articles/64/0c007e64.asp . In conclusion: CUB (ie all of its brands combined) does have 55% share, Lion Nathan (ie all of its brands combined) has 42%. ------------------------------------ None of which makes up for the fact NZ received CMBB first, of course.

Kanonier Reichmann Posted September 25, 2002 Share Posted September 25, 2002 Looks like that settles it then B.R. By the way... who the F#CK is James Squires? Sounds like some sort of poncy, aristocratic type and certainly not the type of name I'd be associating with "the working mans drink". Regards Jim R.

It's not relevant if it's not a great brew like Victoria Bitter or Carlton Cold Filtered. Actually I would think the Kiwis would be especially fond of the 'XXXX' brand...you don't have to go through the trials and tribulations of trying to spell 'beer' correctly.
