It comes in 330mL "stubbies", 375mL "tinnies" and 700mL "tallies" (ie. tall bottles) at 3.5% Abv or 4.2% Abv.[2]

Overview

The Cairns Brewery Company opened the Cairns Brewery in 1924. In 1927 the Cairns Brewery Company ran out of money and a new company, Northern Australian Breweries was formed to take over and continue its affairs under the supervision of Captain Auguste de Bavay. It is a curious feature of the Queensland brewing industry that a great many more of its early brewers and beer entrepreneurs came from distant Victoria rather than from neighbouring New South Wales.[3] The brewery produced a beer called Cairns Draught. The brewery was acquired by CUB in 1931 and was CUB's first brewery operating in Queensland. The Cairns brewery closed down in 1992. [4]

In 2010 CUB announced a new brand of beer, Great Northern Brewing Co.,[2] named after CUB’s first brewery in the state. It revives the classic marlin logo of the discontinued Cairns Draught.[5]

In the bottles the full strength 'original' style beers are identifiable by the Gold coloured bottle top and a white coloured marlin fish on its label whereas the mid strength has a silver coloured bottle cap with a black marlin on the label.

It was recently (2022) the best selling beer in Australia.[6]
