The lawsuit, a proposed class action filed in Brooklyn Federal Court, contends that advertising misled Leif Nelson into purchasing the beer because it was portrayed as being brewed in Australia, when in fact he contends the brewing operation moved to Texas in 2011, the New York _Daily News_ reports. Nelson’s suit reportedly says he would continue to purchase the beer if it were accurately labeled. Nelson declined to comment and calls from the _Daily News_ to Miller were not immediately returned. \[[_Daily News_\]](http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/nyc-man-suing-foster-beer-not-brewed-australia-article-1.2465843?cid=bitly) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4148740/man-sues-fosters-beer/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4148740/man-sues-fosters-beer/"},"headline":"Man Sues Over Foster's Beer Being Brewed in Texas, Not Australia","datePublished":"2015-12-15T00:15:24.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:27:43.785Z","description":"He says advertising misled him","url":"https://time.com/4148740/man-sues-fosters-beer/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Food & Drink"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt2f55a23e2a758f39/69887555428a9ebd0ecd0912/fosters-beer.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Sarah Begley","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/sarah-begley/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt2f55a23e2a758f39/69887555428a9ebd0ecd0912/fosters-beer.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Bottles of Foster's beer sits on the bar","caption":"Bottles of Foster's beer sits on the bar","creditText":"William West—AFP/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4148740/man-sues-fosters-beer/","name":"Man Sues Over Foster's Beer Being Brewed in Texas, Not Australia"}}]}] ```
