rocky ridge brunswick
Rocky Ridge is a fiercely independent, family-owned brewery started on a 100-year-old WA dairy farm. Rocky Ridge are obsessed with crafting damn good beer while protecting the planet. As Australia’s first and only Certified Sustainable and Carbon Neutral brewery, Rocky Ridge prove that “Earth First” and “bloody good beer” are inseparable.
Founded in 2015, Rocky Ridge Brewing Co has grown from a small regional brewery into a nationally distributed craft beer producer, supplying retailers and venues across Australia while remaining proudly family-owned and independent.
Formally home to Thunder brewing, Rocky Ridge owners Hamish and Mel bought the Brunswick location back in 2024 and the refit has seen the new owners open it up a little more and put an impressive 32-tap bar centre stage. The taps pour the full gamut of the brewery’s diverse lineup: from lagers, IPAs, oat cream hazies and sours to the odd 24-hour boil barleywine.
At Rocky Ridge Brunswick, hospitality is centred very much in the heart of the working brewery: fermenters tower over drinkers sat around shared picnic tables; you might even catch a brewer adding a final dry hop to an IPA you’ll be back to enjoy in a few weeks. Naturally, the fridges are also filled to the brim with Rocky Ridge’s many releases for anyone looking to take a journey through beer styles from the comfort of their own home, while there’s a mezzanine overlooking the brew deck too.
