A bit about us...
Stomping Ground Brewing Co is the neighbourhood brewery bringing people together over a great beer. We believe that beer should be for all walks and brew an award winning range to suit all tastes, from laid-back drinkers to the adventurous spirits. We've recently gained the title of Australia’s Champion Large Independent Brewery at the Indies (Independent Beer Awards Australia), and our flagship venue in Collingwood has held the title of Beer & Brewer’s Best Brewpub in Australia since 2017. Over the last couple of years we've opened Melbourne Airport Brewery & Beer Hall, the first working brewery inside an airport in Australia, and our newest venue in Moorabbin amongst the redevelopment of the old Phillip Morris factory - Morris Moor. The Local Taphouse in St Kilda has been celebrating indie craft beer since opening its doors in 2008 and has grown into one of the most awarded craft beer venues in Australia.
We are extremely passionate about beer and hospitality, and are exceedingly proud of what we've achieved so far. There’s no holding back our ambitions to grow and nurture the team along the way!
