Carlton Dry is a lower-carb lager brand of Carlton & United Breweries in Melbourne, part of Asahi Beverages, launched in 1999. An extended brewing process breaks down more of the sugars, which gives the beers their dry finish and reduced carbohydrates. The brand ranks among the best-selling beers in Australia and is described by the trade press as the country's leading contemporary beer. The range covers the 4.5% original, the mid-strength Carlton Dry 3.5% and an Ultra Low Carb version with under one gram of carbohydrates per serve.
