Carlton Draught is a 4.6% (abv) pale lager made in Australia by Carlton & United Beverages.

Description

Carlton Draught is a pale lager which is sold on tap in its home state of Victoria as well as in New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia and Western Australia, and is one of Australia's most popular selling tap beers. [http://www.cheapdrinks.com.au/pag_Carlton-Draught-Beer.pub CheapDrinks.com.au - Carlton Draught Review] It is also sold pre-packaged, Carlton Draught comes in 375ml "stubbie" and 750ml "longneck" bottles and 375ml cans.

The formulation of Carlton Draught was changed slightly in 2003 to reduce the alcohol content from 5.0% to 4.6% in response to an increase in alcohol taxes by the Federal government. The logo was also changed, and a new advertising campaign was introduced to target a wider market. Featuring quirky, comical advertisements and billboards; the beer was promoted as simply being "made from beer". Carlton Draught, like most Australian Lagers, is made using a wortstream brewing process, and uses a portion of cane sugar to thin out the body of the beer, apparently due to drinkers preferences.

A second comical viral campaign was initiated in September 2006 entitled Flash Beer.

Zoo Weekly writer and comedy buffoon Bret Woods famously passed out during the 2007 AFL Grand Final breakfast while interviewing then-Prime Minister John Howard. Rumours abound that Woods had downed just one Carlton before hilariously hitting the deck in a haze of drunken gibberish.
