Foster's an easy-drinking lager that is perfectly balanced with moderate vanilla tasting notes. With no hard edges or bitter aftertaste, it delivers ultimate refreshment at any time of year. The beer is made with six simple ingredients (water, malted barley, glucose syrup, barley, hops, hop extract), and the brewing process is the same today as it was when the Foster brothers first brewed it in 1888.   Founded by William and Ralph Foster in 1888, FOSTER'S quickly made a name for itself in its home city of Melbourne. Replacing the colonial ales that the poms had brought with them, Aussies loved the crisp taste and ice-cold refreshment that FOSTER'S beer provided.
