What Range Brewing Pty Ltd does

Range Brewing Pty Ltd is a Brisbane-based craft brewery and multi-venue hospitality group founded in 2018 by Matt McIver and Gerard Martin. The company produces small-batch craft beer from its brewery in Newstead, Brisbane, and operates four physical venues across Brisbane's inner-city and surrounding suburbs: the original Range Brewing taproom at 4 Byres Street in Newstead (16 rotating taps), Patio by Range at 146 Baroona Road in Paddington, Rays by Range at 4 Newman Avenue in Camp Hill, and The Bethnal events venue at 6 Byres Street in Newstead, with a fifth venue, Neighbour by Range, announced for the Gasworks Plaza precinct. Range serves craft beer enthusiasts, hospitality venues (wholesale stockists across Australia), event customers, and increasingly non-alcoholic and lifestyle consumers via direct-to-consumer, on-premise, and B2B channels.

The company's core product portfolio is structured around two beer programs: the Forever Range, a set of permanent staple beers including Disco DDH Pale Ale, Sunshine XPA, Dreams Hazy IPA, and Echoes Lager, and the Exploring Range of limited experimental small-batch releases issued weekly via the online store and taproom. Range has brewed more than 1,100 unique beers since 2018, applying modern brewing techniques across hazy IPAs, DIPAs, fruited and smoothie sours, West Coast IPAs, pilsners and lagers. The portfolio also includes non-alcoholic offerings (Low Key Non-Alc Pale and Hop Water sparkling water), a collaborative Hard Ginger Beer with Melbourne soft-drink maker bobby, and a branded merchandise line spanning apparel, accessories, glassware, and outdoor and running sub-brands.

Range Brewing operates a hybrid revenue model combining beer sales, hospitality venue operations, merchandise, and gift cards. Direct-to-consumer revenue is generated through a Shopify-based online store with Australia-wide flat-rate shipping via AusPost, plus on-site taproom and venue sales with 4-pack pricing ranging from approximately A$22 to A$59 and mixed boxes starting at A$39. Wholesale revenue comes from self-distribution to craft bottle shops and venues across Australia using cold-freight logistics. Adjacent revenue streams include London-style takeaway pizza via the Range Pizza brand (ordered through Bopple), private event hire at The Bethnal, gift cards, and the venue-based Range Clubhouse loyalty program. The company is privately held by its founders with no disclosed institutional funding or external shareholders.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves10 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• BrewDog Australia: Multi-venue craft beer hospitality chain that operates Australian taproom and hotel sites. Comparable as a broader incumbent that has scaled the brewery-plus-hospitality model internationally, and which Range will increasingly compete with on tap handle allocations and consumer mindshare.
• Coopers Brewery: Largest family-owned Australian brewer with a national craft and mainline portfolio. Represents the broad-incumbent playbook for staying independent at scale and provides the key Australian M&A comparable for what a successful founder-led craft-to-national trajectory looks like.
• Carlton & United Breweries (Asahi Beverages): Owner of multiple acquired craft brands (Pirate Life, Balter, 4 Pines) and the largest Australian brewer. As the dominant acquirer in the Australian craft category, CUB/Asahi is the most relevant counterparty and competitive backdrop for any future Range exit or wholesale negotiation.

Direct peers

• Stomping Ground Brewing Co: Melbourne craft brewery with multiple venue formats (brewery bar, beer hall, suburban venues) and a strong events/flights program. Most analogous peer to Range on multi-venue hospitality scaling and event-driven traffic generation in an Australian metro market.
• Mountain Culture Beer Co: Blue Mountains/NSW craft brewery known for weekly experimental releases across hazy IPAs, sours, and DIPAs. Most analogous peer to Range on the high-cadence Exploring Range model and product-style mix, sharing the founder-led, experimental-first culture that Range markets as its core differentiator.
• Pirate Life Brewing: Australian craft brewery with a strong bar/venue integration, founded 2014 and acquired by CUB/Asahi in 2019. Comparable to Range on style selection (hazy IPAs, modern craft lineup), multi-venue footprint, and brand-led growth — making it a direct template for founder-led, hospitality-coupled craft scaling.
• Balter Brewing: Brisbane origin craft brewery with strong brand identity and lifestyle marketing (X-Games partnership). Like Range, Balter is a QLD-headquartered brand leaning on experiential and merchandise extensions — making it the closest geographic and category peer for Range's brand-building and venue expansion playbook.
• Stone & Wood Brewing Co: Independent Australian craft brewery founded 2008 in northern NSW with a comparable 'small-batch, regional brand building to national' trajectory. Range Brewing follows a similar craft-beer-plus-hospitality expansion template, and Stone & Wood's acquisition by Lion/Asahi provides the most relevant M&A benchmark for Range's likely scale trajectory.
• Boatrocker Brewers: Independent Melbourne craft brewery operating brewery taproom plus venue, with a mixed portfolio of modern and traditional styles. Comparable to Range's mix of permanent and limited-release beers tied to a hospitality venue, providing a benchmark for multi-venue craft operators.

Regional players

• Heads of Noosa Brewing Co: Independent Queensland craft brewery with a hospitality-focused taproom on the Sunshine Coast. Shares Range's QLD base, craft-beer-plus-venue operating model, and broader craft enthusiast target customer — a useful comparability on state-level competitive dynamics and QLD taproom benchmarks.
