Batch Brewing

What Batch Brewing does

Batch Brewing Co. is a Sydney-based craft brewery founded in 2013 by co-founders Chris and Andrew, operating as a private limited company (Batch Brewing Company Pty Ltd) under Australian law. The company operates two physical taproom venues: the original Marrickville Brewery & Taproom at 44 Sydenham Rd, Marrickville NSW 2204 — which houses the entire 10-barrel production brewing system where all beers are crafted, tasted, and poured fresh — and the Darling Square Taproom at 1 Little Pier St, Haymarket NSW 2000, located within the Exchange building at Makers Dozen in Sydney's CBD. The product range consists of a core line of craft beers supplemented by rotating limited releases sold on-tap, as takeaway cans and growlers, and via the company-owned Shopify e-commerce storefront with delivery handled by Pack & Send. The company emphasises sustainable ingredient sourcing (base malt from the Riverina region), solar power, carbon offsets, regenerative farming partnerships, and a community-rooted brand identity supported by charitable giving.

The business runs a community-led, direct-to-consumer go-to-market model with three revenue streams: on-premise beer sales at the taprooms, takeaway packaged beer (cans and growlers), and e-commerce sales. Marketing is conducted through Facebook, Instagram, email newsletters, and a community engagement / charity referral channel. The primary customer segment is the Sydney Inner West community, with CBD professionals served as a secondary segment via the Darling Square venue. The Marrickville venue operates with a resident food truck (Bifana Lab, Pork & Cheese) Wednesday through Sunday and a Mon-Fri 4-6pm Happy Hour; the Darling Square venue operates a curated selection of in-house beers, guest brews from other breweries, and wines.

Batch Brewing has no disclosed external institutional investment, no parent company, no subsidiaries, no M&A activity, no funding rounds, and no international footprint. Operations are confined to Sydney, New South Wales, with all production occurring at the Marrickville brewery and distribution limited to direct taproom sales and domestic e-commerce shipping via Pack & Send. The company is founder-owned and operated, with co-founders Chris and Andrew continuing in leadership roles, and the business remains a sub-industrial-scale craft operation with no third-party wholesale distribution, hospitality chain accounts, or external bottling partners.

Core offering

Batch Brewing Co. is a craft brewery that produces small-batch, flavour-packed beers on a 10-barrel production system at its Marrickville facility and sells them directly to consumers through two company-owned taprooms (Marrickville and Darling Square) and an online Shopify shop for packaged takeaway cans and growlers. The business combines on-premise draught sales with packaged beer retail, supported by a rotating lineup of limited releases alongside a core range, resident food-truck partnerships, and sustainability-focused local sourcing.

Product overview

Batch Brewing Co. operates as a craft brewery with two distinct venue concepts: the original Marrickville Brewery & Taproom housing a 10-barrel production space for crafting and pouring fresh beers, and the Darling Square Taproom in Sydney's CBD offering a curated selection of in-house and guest brews with wines. The company produces a core range of beers supplemented by rotating limited releases. Products are sold directly through its e-commerce platform (shop.batchbrewingco.com.au) for takeaway in cans and growlers, as well as on-tap at both venues. The company emphasizes sustainable ingredient sourcing from the Riverina region in NSW, uses solar power, and maintains carbon offset programs.
