Akasha Brewing Company

Chances are you've encountered Akasha's beers in a number of high-profile craft beer establishments. The generally hop-forward, light-bodied styles are easily accessible to drinkers despite the label's aggressive hop regime and high ABVs.

Akasha began with owner Dave Padden gypsy brewing back in 2015; however, within a matter of months he had acquired the warehouse that is now the brewery, fitted it out and begun brewing beers on site-quite — quite a feat in the small business game.

Featuring rustic wooden furniture set up amongst the sparkling stainless steel brewing equipment, and pouring from twelve taps, this is a hop-head's dream come true. Grab one of Akasha's many delicious beers and have a game of pool at what was recently dubbed, at 2018's Sydney Beer Week Awards, "Best Brewery Cellar Door in Sydney".
