Tooheys Old is a dark ale produced in Australia by Tooheys. It has been brewed since 1869 and Tooheys began bottling it in 1970. [1] It has 4.4% alcohol per volume and contains 132 calories. [2] It is on tap in many bars in New South Wales, Australian Capital Territory, South Australia and Queensland. It is made with top fermentation ale yeast, lightly hopped with black malt giving it a very dark, almost blackish, colour. [3]
The beer was formerly known as Tooheys Hunter Old Ale. [4]
It is one of only two Australian mass-produced beers to earn a mention in The Great Beer Guide [5] ( ISBN 0-7894-5156-5) along with Dogbolter.
