Hey Brunswick!
We’re absolutely stoked to become a part of the local scene and can’t wait to become more deeply embedded in the community here.
Our journey has been long, so I’ll try to stick to the script and keep this brief.
We’re Rocky Ridge – a team committed to brewing with the lowest impact possible and reducing our environmental footprint in any way we can. We firmly believe that beer should be brewed within communities, for communities to be enjoyed as fresh as possible, as close to the source as possible.
Our brewing journey began in Western Australia, in a sleepy farming locality known as Jindong (Where the hell is Jindong? It’s in the heart of the Margaret River Wine Region, about 15 kms south of Busselton).
Our mission? To brew the best beers with the lowest environmental impact possible. We love working with local suppliers and local ingredients to create the most flavoursome products possible.
Over the last couple of years, as our brand has grown, so has our east coast distribution footprint – which is a problem.
The Solution?
We created a problem – increased footprint through distribution. So how do we solve this? We move east coast production to the east coast! Enter – 130 Barkly Street – the old Thunder Road Brewery.
The old Thunder Road Brewery site in Brunswick has been closed for hospitality for a couple of years now, and the venue and site itself were in need of an injection of fresh energy and enthusiasm – both of which we have by the truckload!
We want to bring the fun, excitement, and energy of our limited release program, along with our favourites in our core range, to you here in the heart of Melbourne. We love this local scene and can’t wait to help rebuild the vibrant hospitality scene that Melbourne is known for.
We’re looking forward to working with all the fantastic local producers, musicians, suppliers, and people that Melbourne is so well known for.
Cheers and beers,
Hamish, Mel, Ace, and the Rocky Ridge Team
