Spinifex Brewing

What Spinifex Brewing does

Spinifex Brewing Co. is a privately held, veteran-owned Australian craft brewery founded in 2019 and headquartered in Perth, Western Australia. The company produces craft beer infused with native Australian ingredients — including gubinge (Kakadu plum), quandong, finger lime, lemon myrtle, wattle seed, and wild lime — positioning itself as the world's first native infused craft beer range. The product portfolio spans a Core Range of five flagship beers (Spinifex Draught, Hazy Pale, Kimberley Crisp, Tropical XPA, F88 Lager), a Non-Alcoholic Range leveraging native botanicals, a Dunes Ready-to-Drink range, and seasonal/regional releases. Core production operates from a state-of-the-art 24HL Flying Foam brewing facility with an ABE CraftCan Duo 90 dual-fill canning line at the Food Innovation Precinct WA (FIPWA) in Nambeelup, where Spinifex is an anchor tenant alongside Murdoch University and The Grow Hub.

The company operates two hospitality venues — Spinifex Cable Beach in Broome (32 taps, onsite 6HL brewery, Gubinge garden, family-friendly facilities) and Groundswell Brew and Bottle Tavern in Stake Hill (capacity 100+ indoors, 250 alfresco), with Groundswell soft-opened in 2025 in partnership with Frothin Coffee and full launch planned for 2026. Revenue is generated across five channels: on-premise venue sales (food, beverage, entertainment), a Shopify e-commerce storefront offering free Australia-wide shipping, wholesale distribution through an ambassador network of independent bottle shops across Western Australia (Liquor Barons, Cellarbrations, Bottlemart, Harry Brown), direct sales from the production facility, and contract brewing/co-packing services for startup brewers at 2,500–10,000L batch sizes. The F88 Lager product carries a philanthropic model with 50% of profits donated to veterans charities, and the company holds Australian Veteran Owned Business certification. Sustainability initiatives include the Eco Brew Project pilot deploying Hydroleap electrochemical wastewater treatment, projected to reduce disposal costs by up to 50%.
