Victoria Bitter
Victoria Bitter dates to 1854, when Thomas Aitken, founder and head brewer of the Victoria Brewery in Melbourne, set out to brew a beer suited to the Australian climate. The brand passed into Carlton & United Breweries when Melbourne's large breweries merged in the early 1900s, and the company has belonged to Asahi since 2020. Known simply as VB, it is a firmly bitter lager based on pale malt and Pride of Ringwood hops, now sold alongside mid-strength, low-carb and stronger versions.
