Straddie Brewing Company

What Straddie Brewing Company does

Straddie Brewing Company is an independent craft brewery and brewpub founded in 2020 by Troy Beaven, operating from a three-storey facility at 5 Junner Street, Dunwich, on North Stradbroke Island (Minjerribah), Queensland, Australia. The ground floor houses a 10 hectolitre brewhouse with 200 hectolitre cellar capacity; the first floor contains a 60-seat taproom and kitchen serving Neapolitan pizzas and a full food menu; the rooftop accommodates a sunset bar, event space, and two self-contained apartments for the Beer n Bed accommodation offering. The brewery produces a core range of seven beers (Point Lookout Lager, Myora Springs Gose, Amity Pale Ale, Jumpinpin IPA, Mid Track Session Ale, Pacific Ale, Local Lager), Special Releases, the Shipwreck Series IPAs, and non-alcoholic Hop Water — each named after an island landmark and brewed using sand-filtered water from the island's aquifer, which the company cites as a terroir differentiator. The business holds 5 medals from the 2022 Australian International Beer Awards and three 2025 Best of Queensland Experience awards.

The company operates a hybrid go-to-market spanning direct-to-consumer (taproom, rooftop bar, online webshop on Shopify), ticketed experiences (Behind the Tanks brewery tours at AUD $49, Brewairy Tours aerial tasting with Flight One, Brewer's Bottomless Brunch at AUD $85, Fight Night beer-vs-wine degustation at AUD $159-$169, and The Makers' Table winemaker pairing series), short-stay accommodation (Beer n Bed), and wholesale distribution to independent bottleshops across South East Queensland supported by a Cleveland warehouse. Revenue streams include packaged beer sales (one-time), hospitality transactions, experience ticketing, accommodation, and event hosting. The company is a member of the Independent Brewers Association of Australia and currently operates with approximately 7 employees while actively recruiting across venue management, kitchen leadership, events, mainland sales, and production roles. No external equity funding rounds are disclosed in available sources.
