Happy New Year Team!
WHAT A YEAR! AND WHAT A RIDE // As 2025 winds down, it’s time to pause, crack a cold one, and actually look back at all the chaos, laughter, and wins. And oh boy… there’s a lot to cheer for.
From our little brewery in North East Victoria, this year we:
🍺Launched 35 brand-new beers (yes, 35 - we might need a bigger fridge) while keeping your favourites flowing.
🍺Claimed #1 Independent Lager in the 2024 GABS Hottest 100, and #18 overall - cheers to that! (Vote for us this year! – Link here https://bit.ly/3COyuP6)
🥇 Took home Double Gold at the Australian International Beer Awards (our brewers are still pinching themselves).
🏙️ Became the new custodians of Prince Alfred Carlton / The Bright Rooftop - a legendary spot to pour a mountain crafted pint in the city and reminisce of your travels to Bright.
🛣️ Hit the road far and wide, from Beers & Gears in Wagga, to Falls Creek, Hotham, Melbourne, and everywhere in between - spreading the good word about our beers
🖤 Delivered another sensational Darker Days, our very own dark beer festival featuring British India, proving nights can get both dark and delicious!
🫶 Poured over $5,000 back into the community through our Community Keg Initiative - because good beer tastes even better when it does good.
🌏 This year, our beers didn’t just stay local - they travelled far and wide, landing in glasses across New Zealand, Japan, and Hong Kong (and beyond!).
🤝 We teamed up with 9 incredible breweries, from the rugged coasts of WA to the sunny shores of QLD, crafting unique collab brews that celebrated creativity and community.
🏂 This year was a full-on adventure - and none of it would’ve happened without you, our crew of locals, travellers, riders, music lovers, skiers, and beer fans.
So here’s to 2025 - may your pints have been cold, your laughs loud, and your trails epic.
And here’s to 2026 - more beers, more adventures, and a hell of a lot more fun.
