From brewing out of a home office in Invy, to being named Australia’s Best Gypsy Brewer… honestly a bit hard to believe.
Again, huge thanks to Simmo, Alex and Wayne @oceanreachbrewing for their support
Now someone please tell Luke this doesn’t mean he can start calling himself “award-winning talent” full time. 🍺😂

For the first time in its 30-plus years, the Australian International Beer Awards’ final trophy was claimed by a man wearing hooves, as Mountain Goat brewer Kenny Doyle’s Bract To The Future won Champion Australian Beer.
The Champion Australian Brewery titles went to @piratelifebeer (Large), Hawkesbury Brewing Co (Medium), @kr_brewery (Small), @shackbaybrewing (Nomad), and @frothcraftbunbury (Best New Exhibitor).
There were multiple wins for @altitudebrewing from Queenstown and @hawkersbeer , plus a third Best Media trophy for our own @will_ziebell .
You can find the full list of winners via the link in our bio, with a podcast recorded on the night to follow later today.
UPDATE: Podcast is now live and embedded in the article
🏆 ABSOLUTE SCENES 🏆
Shack Bay Brewing has officially been named Best Nomad Brewery in Australia at the 2026 Australian International Beer Awards 🍻
From brewing small batches with big ideas, to pouring beers for our local community down here on the Bass Coast… this one honestly means the world to us.
A big shout out to Simmon, Alex and Wayne from @oceanreachbrewing
For all their support and guidance, not possible without you guys 🙏🏼
What started as a few beers shared with mates has grown into something we never could’ve imagined. Huge thanks to everyone who’s supported us along the way... our founders, stockists, venues, mates, family and every person who’s ever grabbed a Shack Bay beer 🍺❤️

Let’s go people? Who’s got tickets? Who still needs to get tickets? Who’s going to pay extra by just buying them at the door?
Anyway you do it, it’s going to be a night of live music you won’t regret!

Think great beer with friends, in the open air and no dress code required so straight off the beach works fine !

Their ales are said to be made for those who simply love great beer.
