Bundaberg Brewed Drinks range

Bundaberg Brewed Drinks Pty Ltd is an Australian family-owned business that brews non-alcoholic beverages. The company was established in Bundaberg in 1960 as a bottling and fermenting business. In 1968, Mr and Mrs Fleming (senior) along with Cliff and Lee Fleming, bought the business, then known as Electra Breweries. From then on, it was run by mother, father, son and daughter. Over the years, the company has seen growth in sales and brand recognition, both domestically and internationally. They export to over 44 countries across the globe and they are most known for their ginger beer and other carbonated beverages. In March 2018, the company entered into a partnership with PepsiCo to distribute their beverages across the United States, although the two remain separate companies.[1][2]

Product Range

There are 13 flavours in the range as well as 3 diet varieties. The flavours include:

The Diet range includes:

  • Diet Ginger Beer
  • Diet Lemon Lime and Bitters
  • Diet Sarsaparilla / Root Beer

There is also a Limited Release brew, Spiced Ginger Beer, that is only available at key times of the year.

To celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Bundaberg Brewed Drinks, a limited edition brew, Ginger Beer & Lemon Myrtle, crafted by company founder Cliff Fleming, was released.
