LOCAL FIRST

It’s no coincidence that our beer is named after the town that inspired it. Right from the get-go, we knew we wanted to create a business that was community-minded, with a focus on sustainability — after all, we need to look after our little slice of coastal heaven. Local First is at the forefront of every decision we make.

It means that where we can, we forge genuine partnerships with local suppliers who grow with us. It means sometimes thinking outside of the box — take our partnership with local cattle farmers in Tallebudgera — every day, we give them our used grain from the malted barley to feed their cattle. Without that partnership, tonnes of waste would go to landfill, and the farmers would be paying for feed. Our Strawberry Ginger and Black Giraffe brews also feature locally sourced strawberries and the best local roasted coffee beans. Even our beer tap handles get the Local First treatment, they’re created by local artist Deadwood, using recycled skateboards.
