Brewery Types

For the purposes of this exercise there are two types of brewers in Victoria; those who own their own stainless steel & those who don’t. Obviously in reality the distinction is far less black & white than that. Numerous contract/gypsy brewers own their own fermenter inside someone elses bricks & mortar facility & simply rent their brewhouse for the time taken to complete their brew. Some brewers listed here as having a physical brewery outsource a large percentage of their volume to a contract facility such as Brewpack, Asahi (Laverton) or Southern Bay as they’ve outgrown their original facility & either can’t afford or don’t want to upgrade.
