Blackman’s Brewery
At Blackman’s brewery our philosophy is this: we love good beer, it’s really that simple. We make our beers with the best quality ingredients we can get our hands on and we give our beers the right amount of time in tank, we don’t rush them through to meet deadlines. Our core range is made up of beers that cover a variety of flavours and styles, we want to make good beer for everyone. It’s thanks to this, our core philosophy, that we were awarded the AIBA 2019 Australian Small Champion Brewery.
Our Story
Back in 2014, we (that’s Jess and Renn) had this wild dream of bringing craft beer to Torquay.
After years studying, working and drinking beer at many fine breweries in WA, London and Europe we opened our doors in Torquay with just two taps and a whole lot of hope.
Fast forward to today, and how things have certainly grown. Today, we have 22 rotating taps in Torquay, our own seltzer brand (say g’day to Coast Seltzer), a ripper Ginger Beer, and even a Zero beer for when you’re keeping things easy. We’ve spread our wings too, with a production facility and bar in Grovedale, plus a Beer and Burger Bar in Ocean Grove.
But this is what really gets us excited: being part of the Geelong and Surf Coast community. We’re still family-owned and operated, still obsessed with quality, and still high-fiving every time someone discovers their new favourite brew.
The best part? We get to work with some of the most passionate legends in the business, creating local beers that bring mates together. Because at the end of the day, that’s what it’s all about – good beer, good people, and good times.
