Gage Roads have certainly had a busy 2020, having opened their Atomic Beer Project venue in Sydney and announcing the launch of a new brewery in Fremantle.

Job Description: Experienced Brewer
Gage Roads isn't a road at all. It's the strip of ocean separating the port city of Fremantle and Rottnest Island off the coast of WA. It's a home to seagulls and sharks; surfers and swimmers; ships and sailors. A place where you can relax, explore, escape, or seek out adventure. We saw a lot of ourselves in this spot, so in 2005 when we started brewing we decided to name our brewery after it.
In 2005 Gage Roads was born & since then we have grown to become one of Australia’s largest craft brewers. In 2018 we purchased Matso’s Broome Brewery, launched our West Australian contemporary lager brand Alby and most recently have brought to life our newest brand Atomic Beer Project and venue in Sydney. With these new brands in the stable, we created Good Drinks, a new name to represent our independent Australian drinks company and our family of brands.
