A bottle of Foster's beer stands near a freshly poured glass of beer on a bar of a hotel in Sydney, in this February 10, 2004 file photo. Australians, long regarded as a nation of beer drinkers rivaled only by the Germans, seem to be turning soft, or sober. (Will Burgess/Reuters)

Don’t get excited! The headline is very misleading.

According to the article:

[The drinking habits of Australians have been changing over time and what we have found is that the markets in growth are the premium and mid-strength markets...

...New boutique breweries including Cascade, Boag’s and James Squire have won huge followings in most city pubs, while so-called microbreweries such as Little Creatures, Mountain Goat and Blue Tongue have lured drinkers away from VB in droves.]

Australians are simply following the same trend as American beer drinkers in buying a wider variety of beers, including stronger beers and more flavorful beers, as well as the new, weaker Foster’s.
