BOSTON BREWING Co
Region: Denmark, Western Australia
Brewer: Reid Stratton
At Boston Brewing Co they believe that "everyone has a beer drinker inside them, some people just don't know it yet!”
Established in 2011, Boston Brewing Co is a family run, 100% West Australian owned business and one of the first breweries in the Great Southern region. The fantastic thing about being in such idealistic surrounds that make up the Denmark region, is that they are blessed with some of the finest, purest rainwater. The use of rainwater allows the quality of the raw materials, carefully selected to speak for themselves, and they have got a lot to say! Their approach to beer is simple, traditional brewing techniques, quality ingredients, time and care, oh and a passionate brewer.
Thinking local first in all aspects of the business, Boston Brewing Co is always looking for ways to contribute to the sustainability of the Denmark community. Empty grain bags are used by the local Parks and Recreation for invasive weed collection, spent grain is given to local farmers to feed their stock & local produce is sourced whenever possible for the restaurant.
100% West Australian, 100% Independent, Family Owned!
BOWDEN BREWING
Region: Bowden, South Australia
Brewers: Alex Marschall & Jake Phoenix
Brewing was always a weekly escape, a creative outlet, a passionate hobby, and even a side-hustle for Alex & Jake as they tried to live two lives. Daydreaming from desk jobs, they were constantly living with their head in the clouds. The two met working fly in, fly out, in the oil and gas industry, both engineers, both passionate brewers.
In July 2021 they took the leap and opened Bowden Brewing in you guessed it, Bowden, an outer suburb of Adelaide. With Bowden Brewing, they’ve found a means of combining the technical side of engineering – they installed the brew kit and fermenters themselves – with the creativity that comes with filling the taps at a modern brewpub – or “doing weird stuff with beers” as Alex puts it.
Bowden have established themselves in a very short time, creating impressive, consistent beers across a broad range of styles.
DAINTON BEER
Region: Carrum Downs, VIC
Brewer: Cam Turner
Launched in 2013 by Dan Dainton and his old man Kev, their first few years were a roving operation with Dan making beer out of breweries all over Victoria, but the father and son duo were constantly on the lookout for a place they could call home.
A few years later, with a brewery in place, the beers and awards started to flow with an impressive haul of trophies at The Indies, including the Champion Australian Beer in both 2017 and 2019 and Champion Large Independent Brewery in 2020.
Dainton Beer has built a reputation for producing beers that are bold, fun and innovative. With quality at the heart of everything they do, they embrace the “Drink Different” mantra wholeheartedly and pride themselves on producing some of the most inventive, exciting and downright delicious beers in Australia.
HEAPS NORMAL
Region: Canberra, ACT
Brewer: Ben Holdstock
A designer, a brewer, a pro surfer and a ginger walk into a bar and order a round of alcohol-free beers. Sounds like the start of a joke, right? But when these four mates began their Heaps Normal journey in 2018, they were laughed out of more than one bar for attempting just that.
Heaps Normal was co-founded by four mates, each with their own reasons for wanting to reduce their alcohol consumption. The four joined forces and, after months of R&D, launched Heaps Normal with their first brew, the Quiet XPA. Heaps Normal is a great tasting, non alcoholic beer without the hangover. It’s brewed for people who love a beer, but want to drink less.
Heaps Normal are part of a global movement trading the standard drink for a new drink standard, normalising mindful drinking by brewing beer that tastes so good, you won't miss the alcohol.
LA SIRÈNE
Region: Melbourne, Victoria
Brewer: Costa Nikias
Established in 2010, La Sirène Brewing is an artisanal brewery grounded in the spirit of Farmhouse brewing, whilst paradoxically being located 8km from Melbourne's CBD. La Sirène specialise and focus on creating Farmhouse, Wild, Oak-Aged and Coolship Ales that speak of place, time & season.
La Sirène, French for 'the Siren', emerged as a natural response to a calling to create and specialise in Farmhouse & Wild Ales, in particular 'Saisons'. Saison, a style of beer little known back then and even now in Australia, was one with which they were completely enamoured and intrigued. Armed with backgrounds in Microbiology and Winemaking with the iconic Bass Phillip in Victoria and with further studies in Brewing Operations, they decided it would be their sole focus and purpose. Their dedication to this interpretive style continues to this day.
La Sirène gravitate towards using simple & natural ingredients in their rawest form such as raw grains and 100% Victorian-grown malts. Their techniques are as old as the brewing style they champion and include open vat oak fermentation, uncontrolled fermentation and 100% bottle refermentation – similar to that of Methode Champenoise (traditional champagne-making technique).
LIGHTNING MINDS

Lightning Minds is a non-alcoholic craft beer brand, founded by Michael Payne in 2021. The brand has become a driving force in Michael’s quest to establish a more positive and balanced lifestyle, regarding his approach to alcohol and beyond.

NOWHEREMAN BREWING
Region: West Leederville, WA
Brewer: Brody Watts

The team at Nowhereman see those lyrics as an inspiration to the younger generations, they need not despair, change can happen in the world.
The idea of Nowhereman began in 2012, by then brewery founder Reece Wheadon was already heavily involved in the craft beer scene. He ran WA Beer Week for more than five years, sat on the board of the WA Brewers Association and organised WA’s first ever craft beer festival.

ONE DROP BREWING Co
Region: Botany, NSW
Brewer: Nick Calder-Scholes
One Drop Brewing Co is inspired by the same foundational ideals of Reggae music, with its signature One Drop beat. The same ideas of community, humanity, one love, free thinking and unique creative self-expression inspire us. It is what beats within that allows us all to connect to community, freedom, love of life, and love of good times.
Owners Clay and Meg, both Botany locals opened the first brewery in the area. They chose Botany as it is their proud home, their roots, their community; it is the perfect place. And what better place to launch a brewery in 2019 other than in the very year of Botany's postcode - 2019.
They have gained notoriety with their array of beers, from the traditional to the unconventional. It all started with their Botany Bay Lager which only months after launch picked up a Gold Medal at the AIBA awards. From there One Drop has become known for their brightly hued sours, a favourite of Meg's, with Clay's penchant for hoppy beers rounding out their range.
SAUCE BREWING Co
Region: Sydney, NSW
After 20 years in the tech space, Mike Clarke, a former IT & telco exec, felt the urge to give up the corporate life and build something from the ground up again. But this time around, something more fun!
With a passion for craft beer, years of brewing experience in the garage, and a supportive wife who also loved beer, the choice to open a brewery was almost a foregone conclusion.
Sauce launched their first three beers in late 2016 as gypsy brewers, adding two more to the line-up in early 2017, all the while building their own brewery in Marrickville. The brewery was completed in September 2017, and it was at this time that Sauce really came into its own. Having invested heavily in top quality, scalable brewing equipment, and expert brewers, the quality of beer now being produced is up there with the best of them.
A small but passionate team are now producing a solid core range of beers, plus regular special batches and once-off brews. Sauce aim to offer a diverse range of beers suited to a diverse range of customers – from the craft beer “curious” to the hard-core beer nerds, and everything in between. Sauce Brewing Co…. crafty & independent!
