OK more info please - never heard of it - had to google it. This was at the top of the list:

One Drop Tropical Super Highway Smoothie Sour Can 440ml​


Mango, Banana, Blueberry & Milk Sugar Smoothie Sour 8.1%
Botany, NSW

A true smoothie style pastry sour with milk sugar and blueberries added during fermentation, with the addition of lashings of mango, banana and apricot during canning. What you're left with is a juicy, fruity, slightly sherbety flavour bomb of a signature One Drop style of beer.

no other way round. Tooths old also changed its name to Kent Brown at one stage

The old Kent brewery at Broadway would have been a fun place to work at. This is an excerpt from Wiki on staff facilities.

"
Tooth offered numerous staff benefits. The company offered a £10 marriage bonus to those employees getting married while in the company's service. Leave was four weeks per year, with 50% loading. Although there was no formal superannuation available, employees retiring from the company "would be provided for" on confidential terms. There was a staff social club coordinated by Kent Brewery. Following restructuring circa 1975, Tooth had a gymnasium (at Kent Brewery), "Wet" canteen (Kent and Waverley breweries) and a (non-technical) reading room/library. The social club also purchased an old fishing boat, sponsored by the company. The social club published a magazine called Tooth Topics.

Employees had a generous ration of beer at morning tea (called the beer break), lunch, afternoon tea and when they clocked off. Some of the trade supervisors were able to float between bars during the day. The brewery had several bars, in addition to which plant operators could tap a leaking cask for their own enjoyment; such a cask was called the honeypot. Tooth unsuccessfully sought a ruling from the Industrial Relations Commission that the honeypot would be banned. The ruling was that a precedent had been set. Subsequently, an inebriated operator, while travelling home, was hit by a train. Tooth successfully appealed the IRC decision. The honeypot was banned and instead Tooth would issue plastic tokens allowing employees to take home one carton of beer per week for their private enjoyment. That arrangement ended with CUB (Carlton & United Breweries).

In an apparent contradiction, Tooth would not tolerate drunkenness among its staff. Depending on perceived value to the company, alcoholism could lead either to summary dismissal, or to a drying out period at a clinic."
