In the late 1800s, James Boag established a brewery in Tasmania, an island state of Australia, and began creating quality beers using the freshest ingredients. The European-style lager is now available at bars, restaurants and retail accounts in the United States. Brewed from the finest quality pilsner malts by Boag's Brewery, James Boag's Premium Lager is fermented at a lower temperature and employs an extended maturation period, resulting in a crisp pale lager. Voted Best Australian Premium Beer by Australian retailers for three consecutive years, James Boag' Premium Lager received the Gold Medal from the International Monde Selection for eight consecutive years.
