Far North Coast Brewers Nsw

[Maxt]

Interested to see if there are any brewers in the far north coast wanting to be involved in a brew club, possibly with support from a local brewery.
What say ye?

Yeah, I would be interested.

The only brewery around is Northen Rivers Brewery at Alstoneville

Not unless they've reopened. They closed down last year.

Bit far from Grafton though

Was born and bred in Rous/Alstonville - but live in Sydney now. Can I still be an honorary member?

But may be of interest to local Northern Rivers brewers and history buffs. My other hobby is photographing old Aussie Terraces and streetscapes and here's a piccie of a pair I sussed out in Maclean. It's actually the old Brewery built in 1882. The brewery closed down and in 1915 it was converted into a pair of terraces and later renovated in the 1970s - hence the aluminium window etc. The frame of the building is solid sandstone.



You can just imagine a drayload of beer thundering out of the archway on the way to the pubs.. no need for craft brewers in those days, they were all over the place :beerbang:

There are a few places in Byron:

Buddha bar
http://www.buddhabarbyronbay.com/brewery
(have not been there or tried their stuff)

Stone and Wood
http://stoneandwood.com.au/
Many know the beers from here. Brad Rogers is a legend in the brewing world (Matilda Bay etc), and his new brewer Scott (formerly of Sunshine Coast Brewery) is a brewing force of nature (and once brewed the second best beer in the country..sorry Cougar!)

It's a shame the Alstonville one closed down as that's where I now live. I hear a rumour it may reopen.
