New Brewery In

THE new Marybert Brewery com menced operations in Noumea, New Caledonia, a few months ago, and its product appears to be gaining public favour. So far, it has marketed only bottled beer. It plans to distribute its product in plastic containers, which make for easier and cheaper handling.

Most of New Caledonia’s bottled beer has been coming from Ger many and Denmark, and is retailed at about 28 francs (about 6/6 Aus tralian) per bottle. The local beer is selling at 21 francs per bottle.
