The Company has executed the China Supply Agreement and China Distribution Agreement, for the brewing, distribution and sale of Broo Premium Lager in China, which is the largest beer industry in the world by volume of beer consumed.
Broo has two beer products: Broo Premium Lager, and Australia Draught Beer, which were launched in 2009 and 2014 respectively.
