Overview
What started as an old tin packing shed on an avocado farm overlooking Wollumbin (Mount Warning) has now evolved into the fully-fledged low-impact brewery, Earth Beer Company. The brewery distributes locally using minimal packaging and even reuses its spent grain as food for the venue's pet pigs. Earth Beer Company's ethos runs along the lines of good people, good beer, and a love of the land they brew on.
It's an ideal place to stop by for a beer and some eats on lazy Sunday afternoon. Or, you can book yourself into one of the company's informal yet informative brewery tours. The tour includes a 45-minute information session and a tasting paddle for some all-important sampling — including a tasting of the brewery's seasonal release.
If this sounds like your kind of place, make tracks to the venue's North Coast Festival of Flavour event, Beer School. Here, you'll get to taste the brewery's favourite beers and learn more about the process and history of the brewery.
