Boags: A Trip Down Memory Lane


Recently I noticed in a picture on Facebook someone drinking a can of Boag’s Draught, except the can was white. They have been green for as long as I’ve been drinking so I guessed that the person has had it somewhere for 30 years and finally decided to drink it.






But on a recent visit to the Boag’s Centre for Beer Lovers I discovered that Boag’s is actually remaking the old-style cans for limited release.

Available in 24 packs and 30 blocks you can have the chance to collect a piece of Boag’s history.

I’ve tried to collect information about the style and history of the old can design but haven’t come up with anything yet.

Back when the cans did have this simple design they were yet to know of the great success they would have in the early 2000’s winning many international awards.

Boag’s Draught has undergone changes in recent years, mainly to lower the alcohol content to make it cheaper and another change to lower the sugar content.

Cheers,


Dave
