Melbourne Bitter is a beer brewed by Carlton & United Beverages, (or CUB) a subsidiary of Foster's Group. While originally having an ABV of 4.9%, it has since been reduced to 4.6% ABV. Melbourne bitter is available in 375mL bottles "stubbies", 375mL cans "tinnies" and 750mL bottles "longnecks". Melbourne Bitter does not hold the iconic status of many of its counterparts at CUB, such as Victoria Bitter and Carlton Draught, however it maintains a loyal customer base around Australia, predominantly in Victoria. Melbourne Bitter was first brewed by renowned Melbourne brewer Jack Prendergast in 1936 (76 years ago) and was sold to CUB later that year. The beer quickly gained popularity amongst drinkers from regional Victoria for its robust flavour and strong bitter aftertones provided by the Pride of Ringwood hops. His son Thomas Prendergast later formed part of the brewery union, which has helped keep the spirit of beer tasting alive in Melbourne.
