James Squire (1754 – 16 May 1822), a convict transported to Australia, is credited with the first successful cultivation of hops in Australia around the start of the 19th century, and is also considered to have founded Australia's first commercial brewery in 1798, though John Boston appears to have opened a brewery making a form of corn beer two years earlier.Squire was convicted of stealing in 1785 and was transported to Australia as a convict on the First Fleet in 1788.
