What we want to do best
Our Managing Director, Tony Dichiera, alongside business partners Troy Brailsford and Peter Bradley, has a vision to create a craft beer brand that is part of its community. One that listens to its drinkers, and works hard to brew for them, while sharing a beer or three along the way.
Our Branding
Our packaging has three key elements inspired by Suburban life:
The Street Sign: A consistent presence on all of our packaging. The Suburban Brew sits proudly at the top of every bottle or can.
The Street Number: Each style of beer is inspired by a real-life location, the Street number makes it easy to find your favourite in a crowded bottle shop. Now that we have brewed so many new styles of beer, this is something that lives on in our Core Range.
The Postcode: Every batch is given a unique postcode. Being a small-batch brewery, this gives us the ability to keep track of, and tweak, different styles.
Our Journey so far...
The Suburban Brew started it's life as a Nomad Brewery. What the f!*@ does that mean, you ask? It simply refers to the fact that we started our life as brewery without our own physical place to call home. Instead, we scooted around to other breweries, using up the spare capacity that they were generous and kind enough to share with us.
We found this was not only a great way to see if we had a brand that could last the test of time in a highly competitive craft beer industry, but also as a great way for us to embed ourselves in the community. This approach partly inspired our tagline – Love thy neighbour, love their beer.
In January 2022 we new it was time to grow up - time to get our own place. We found an almost perfect old warehouse, in Adelaide's North Eastern suburb of Glynde, and started building our Brewery. We'd found a home!
In December 2022 we proudly flung open the doors to our 20HL Production Brewery, Taproom, and Event Space. Now, having the ability to fully control our own production schedule, its time to ramp things up and see where this crazy craft beer journey can take us.
Come have a beer with us and come along for the ride!
Contract Brewing
Now that we're big enough and ugly enough to have our own place, we, like the breweries that helped us along the way, would like to open our doors and help support recently established and/or start up brands in making their first steps into the market. Feel free to reach out and learn more by emailing tellmemore@thesuburbanbrew.com.au
We brew beer for a bunch of local restaurants and businesses, and we can brew for you too!
