ABOUT
A LEGACY OF ADVENTURE, CRAFTED BY THE COAST
​It all started in our humble little shed on the Batavia Coast, where the salty sea breeze carried the scent of fresh grain and hops. The sound of our bubbling fermenter was met with laughter and the clinking of glasses as we sampled our freshly brewed beers.
We weren’t brewers chasing a business—we were beer lovers chasing a passion and a dream to share our love of tasty craft beer with the community. What began as fine-tuning recipes (using the finest grain and hops), soon became a ritual of good times and even better beer. Friends and family sampled our creations, sharing stories, and shaping what would soon become something bigger. It was their encouragement that made us realise—we had damn good beer. This was something worth sharing. All our brews have a local or Abrolhos theme from our Helles Gates Lager – a local area to the dark Traitors Stout – as those left behind way back in 1629 felt the Commander was a traitor leaving them behind when he set sail.
​
Today, every batch we brew carries the same spirit of those early days: a celebration of friendship, adventure, and damn good beer. We believe that beer is more than just a drink—it’s an experience that brings people together. It is crafted with integrity, using only natural, high-quality ingredients, and served in a welcoming space where laughter and good company are always on tap.
​
Our brewery is a hub where friends and family can come together over tasty locally brewed beer because we want to create a future where craft beer fosters connection, supports locals, and keeps our community thriving for generations to come.
What started in that little shed, filled with dreams and laughter, has grown into something we never could have imagined—a brewery built on passion, community, and a love for the craft.

Our Journey
Dennis had brewed beer for decades and the seed to do this on a larger scale was initially sewn by our Granddaughter Taylor Jade.
In 2020 we purchased our development system, and our little shed was a hive of activity with perfecting brews. When our friends confirmed we had a product more than good enough for market we set up our company and ordered our microbrewery system.
In 2021 we took the leap of faith to and put in the order for our microbrewery system.
​
Then came the search for a home. We spent a year looking for the perfect spot—dreaming of somewhere close to the sea. But most coastal buildings were just too small for the vision we had in mind. Eventually, we found the one: a character-filled site just two blocks from the sea and in the Geraldton CBD. It had the space, the charm, and the potential to grow with us.
​
We were confronted with unexpected hurdles and obstacles when on the way but like those who survived the Batavia shipwreck, we showed pure grit and resilience.
In October 2022, we proudly opened the doors to Batavia Brewing.
​
Since then, we've been pouring our passion into every pint—and now, we're canning our beer so you can take a piece of Batavia home with you.
We can provide the perfect space for your special event with various function areas from our large Batavia function room that can comfortably seat up to 125 to our Brew Room that seats up to 30. Our rooms are perfect for:
