SABMiller Stops Production Of Australia’s John Singleton’s Bluetongue Beer

From Smh.com:

I

t was the brew that Singo built, but the Bluetongue beer brand that John Singleton so successfully marketed across the country has been killed off by global giant SABMiller.

With it has gone the $120 million brewery at Warnervale in the Central Coast of NSW – the second-biggest brewery in the state, and one that was opened in only 2010.

On Thursday morning, 64 staff were told by Carlton and United Breweries they would lose their jobs by the end of the year and the equipment at the old Bluetongue brewery would be moved to CUB’s Yatala brewery in Queensland.
