Tally's Take

Why this matters

The brewery that taught a generation of Australians to love hops, now owned by Coca-Cola Europacific Partners — a listed bottler, not a brewing conglomerate. It is a real loss of independence and it is not the same thing as being bought by a macro brewer. The archive says which.
