They were brought out by Belgium-based Anheuser-Busch InBev, owners of 500 global brands like Budweiser, Corona, Becks and Carlton & United Breweries here in Australia, well, one of their original owners Jack Cameron is good mates with Nat Fyfe.
Reportedly Fyfe chucked in around $100k to get it up and running and took out around $1m (+/-) when the brewery was sold.
Nice little earner.

A microbrewery or craft brewery is a brewery that produces small amounts of beer, typically much smaller than large-scale corporate breweries, and is independently owned. Such breweries are generally characterized by their emphasis on quality, flavor and brewing technique.amber_fluid wrote:What is the definition of a craft beer though?
Craft generally means made by hand and I doubt these beer once owned by the big boys is made that way.
Mass produced so no longer a craft beer.
Or does craft have a different meaning here?

I also see "craft" beers as being more experimental, more bang for their buck type beers, more flavor than the traditional lagers of the bigger corporate's.

Would depend on production volumes. If they are about the same as before the buy out then yes craft brewer. But if they have the same volume of Pale Ale not a chance.amber_fluid wrote:Booney wrote:I think "craft", for me, refers to being made by small breweries which, given their $15m investment in the Port, Pirate Life may struggle to lay claim to anymore.

Pirate life has joined the big boys now and isn't a craft beer by definition anymore.
