Firstly..

We Acknowledge That We Are On Stolen Land

Good brew brews in the traditional lands of the Dja dja wurung.. Daylesford as it’s now known (& hilariously Wombat as it was known from colonisation til 1850something). We distribute from Merri Merri lands in the Woiwurung lands.. Naarm as it was formerly known.. Brunswick as it’s now known. We believe whole heartedly in paying the rent and being as ethical as we can be for punter & planet. This is why we are becoming a bCorp. Watch this space.

About The Brews…

The Good Brew Company focuses on sustainable brewing methods to minimise environmental impact while creating a fantastic range of beverages. We utilise numerous methods to reduce our impact on our beautiful biosphere: BY FAR the biggest environmental impact of beverage production, distribution & consumption is PACKAGING. Our 330ml single serve bottles are not just made locally from recycled glass BUT they are untainted by glues so they can be easily reused. Our 330ml labels are 100% recycled cardboard printed on with vegan inks by a local solar enabled printer. We encourage staff to ride bicycles, we’re zealous recyclers at our office, our facilities use solar and much, much more!
