It produces beers and ciders under the ''Tooheys'' and ''Hahn Brewery'' trademarks, and is part of the Lion beverages group which was acquired by the Japanese Kirin Company in 2009.〔"(Beer acquisition creates Australia's biggest supermarket supplier )" ABC News, 17 September 2009〕 ==History== Toohey's dates from 1869, when John Thomas Toohey (an Irish immigrant to Melbourne) obtained his brewing licence. Toohey and his brother James Matthew ran pubs in Melbourne (The Limerick Arms and The Great Britain) before moving to Sydney in the 1860s. They commenced brewing Tooheys Black Old Ale in a brewery in the area of present-day Darling Harbour. By 1875, demand for their beer had soared and they established The Standard Brewery in inner-city Surry Hills. In 1902, the company went public as Tooheys Limited, and commenced brewing lager (the present-day Tooheys New) in 1930. In 1955, the brewery moved west to Lidcombe.〔(Tooheys New :: For the Love of Beer )〕 In 1967, Tooheys bought competitor ''Miller's Brewers'' located in Taverner's Hill, closing the brewery in 1975.〔Deutsher, Keith. ''The Breweries of Australia: A History''. Lothian Books 1999.〕 In 1980, NSW-based Tooheys merged with Queensland's Castlemaine Perkins to form Castlemaine Tooheys.〔Lion Nathan History〕 Bond Corporation purchased Castlemaine Tooheys in 1985.〔 Lion Nathan acquired a 50% stake in Bond's Natbrew Holdings in 1990, and took total ownership in 1992.〔 Production of Hahn-branded beers was moved from the Camperdown Hahn Brewery to Tooheys, some time between 1993 (Lion's acquisition of Hahn) and 1999〔1998, according to A Quiet Beer with Chuck Hahn; 1999 according to Lion Nathan History〕 (when Hahn Brewery was renamed Malt Shovel Brewery). Products sold under the Tooheys trademark are brewed at Tooheys brewery. Home-brew kits are distributed by Lion and produced at Canterbury Brewery. , the Tooheys brand is the major sponsor of rugby union in New South Wales and Queensland, and sponsored the Melbourne Cup in 2002 and 2003. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tooheys Brewery」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
