Western Australia’s (WA) brewery, Beerfarm, has launched a $13 million capital raise to develop a new site in Glenworth Valley, New South Wales.
As part of its national growth strategy, the development on the 25-acre property will house a working brewery by the end of the year. A restaurant and event space are also planned to open by the end of 2026.
“We’ve always set out to do things differently, to create more than just a brewery – a place that brings people together,” said the director of Beerfarm Ian Atkins.
Founded in 2015 on a former dairy farm in Metricup, Beerfarm has grown from a grassroots brewery into an award-winning business, attracting 150,000 annual visitors to its WA venue. The Glenworth Valley site aims to further expand the brand and its distribution reach across Australia.
“Our Metricup venue has become a staple for both locals and visitors, and we’re excited to bring that same spirit to Glenworth Valley. This is about delivering unique immersive experiences for the local community, wherever we go.”
Located on the Central Coast, the Glenworth Valley development aims to increase Beerfarm’s national production capacity by one million litres. The region’s strong tourism activity is expected to support the site’s role as a key hub for east coast distribution.
“This capital raise allows us to take a proven concept and introduce it to a new audience, and NSW is just the beginning,” added Atkins.
“With other sites also on the horizon, we’re setting the foundations for something truly national, while staying independent and true to our roots.”
While construction planning in NSW is underway, Beerfarm also intends to collaborate with local suppliers, host events, and partner with investors to support the expansion.
