Millers to brew Fosters Lager here

Millers Brewery Ltd. (MBL) is to brew Fosters Lager under license for distribution and sale in Sri Lanka.

The move follows MBL, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cargills Ceylon Plc., last week entering into an agreement with Calrton United Breweries Ltd. of Australia (CUB), a subsidiary of SAB Miller of London and Johannesburg.

In 2011, Cargills entered the soft alcohol industry by completing the acquisition of the McCallum Brewery and its ‘3 Coins’ brand.

McCallum Brewery Limited was established in 1963 by the eminent entrepreneur late U.K. Edmund. Over the years McCallum Brewery has established itself as a craft brewer nurturing the ‘Three Coins’ brand from a conservative product to the premium league.

The brewery located in Meegoda uses the pristine natural spring water from the area to produce high quality beer that is now available in a range of strong and mild varieties.
