A Tale of Taste Trailblazers

A good pilsner is one of Australia’s greatest rarities. Sourcing a crisp, amber drop can be like getting blood from a stone, but it’s a quest our head brewer Mike forged in vain for many years. As his taste buds lost all hope with every bland pint, Mike grew determined to lead a flavour revolution.

This unquenchable thirst led him to buy a novice brewing kit, setting in motion a dedicated crusade to craft the perfect beer, one defined by subtle flora flavours soaked through a quality brew.

After much exploration, experimentation, and a trip down the rabbit hole of homebrewers in Holland, Mike transformed his garage into a more elaborate home brewery.

What started out as a selfish pursuit to appease his palate, soon turned into a community affair. His kid’s sporting sidelines swirled with stories among parents of Mike’s lucrative lager. Locals soon became his taste bud test subjects and the muse for his booze. 

A beer wizard in Oz, Mike rallied a group of mates who were just as daring and curious. Over shite beer, the group vowed to lead a revolution in the beverage space - crafting what was to become Australia’s most succulent pilsner (shortly followed by a vast lineup of beers to suit even the pickiest of palates). Mike, Ian, Ashley, Melissa, and Gavin joined the Curl Curl crew, establishing what today is known as 7th Day Brewery.

7th Day challenges the idea that relaxation needs to be confined to week’s end. It’s our belief that the sublime can be summoned, with the crack of a can.

The 28th of October 2018 went down in history as the day the group ventured into the unknown and stepped out of the warm confines of Mike’s garage. All thanks to the help of crowdfunding by a community who were just as thirsty as they were.

We at 7th Day are in the business of social lubrication - allowing us to slip the restraints of corporate coldness, skirt the rules of society, and slick the road less travelled with a product that’s for everyone. 

From charitable ventures, to steadfast support for local businesses, sporting teams, events, and initiatives - our aim is, was, and always will be to propel others toward greatness.

‘Beer, for good’s sake’ is a mission, to drink good and do good. 

Join us.

COLDIES FOR THE RFS - January 2020

During the devastating months of early 2020 when the Australian bushfires tore their way through the country, day in and day out we saw countless efforts of support and help going out to those who were affected. In the midst of such a national crisis the mass of Australian community shared love, empathy, hope, facts and solutions in any way they could.

 On Saturday the 11th of January 7th Day Brewery extended an invitation to the wider community to come together over drinks, music and food to collectively raise funds for the Brewery’s local Beacon Hill Rural Fire Service.

 With $2 donated from every drink sold, a gold coin red frog guessing jar and countless donation tins around the venue, with the help from everyone involved, 7th Day Brewery raised enough money on the night to buy new equipment to enhance the service they provide to the community and to put on a community bbq for all their families and friends for the efforts and time that went into the months of work on the front line . #drinkgooddogood
