Suntory Brewery plans to start selling beer in Australia

The brewery will soon start shipping 0.5 l cans of Magnum Dry produced at its plant in China, near Shanghai, to Australia and sell them through a major local liquor shop chain, sources said last week, according to Japan Times.

Suntory plans to sell 100,000 cases of Magnum Dry in Australia and aims to boost annual sales to 300,000 cases within several years, the sources said. In Australia, beer demand is high in the December-February summer period. (bmg)
