Parallel to the growth of the craft brew industry, has been the steady growth in home brewing. Home brewing makes a great hobby! You start with the basics and it will inevitably draw you into it's complexity of flavours, styles and techniques. And it's cost effective! Did you know that you can make a stubby of beer for as little as 30 cents. It's social as well! There are home brewing associations & clubs all over Australia who share your enthusiasm for beer, and where technology, ideas & recipes are shared.
You could also turn your passion home brewing into a successful career in commercial craft brewing. Most of our successful craft brewers today started their careers with a passion for home brewing - Here's just one of many such stories.
