Coca-Cola Amatil’s buyout of Feral Brewing has sparked chatter that the beer formerly known as Fantapants may get its old name back.

Feral Brewing Company is confident it remains ‘independent’, but the Independent Brewers Association appears yet to be convinced.

All production of Feral Brewing beers will remain in Western Australia, according to Shane Richardson, Coca-Cola Amatil managing director, alcohol and coffee.

Coca-Cola Amatil today confirmed its acquisition of Western Australia-based company, Feral Brewing.

Feral Brewing Company spoke to all the major brewers along with other potential buyers prior to settling on Coca-Cola Amatil as its preferred suitor, former owner Brendan Varis has revealed.
