1887,The Fosters brothers arrive from New York with refrigeration equipment and establish a lager brewery.

One fine day in 1887, two yanks of Irish extraction William M. Foster and his brother Ralph R. Foster stepped off a boat in Melbourne. They had sailed from New York, USA with the dream of starting a successful brewery on the other side of the world. They set up the Fosters Brewing Company on Rokeby Street in Collingwood. The first Fosters was brewed in 1888.

Aha! so this beer can be blamed on someone else, thank god.
