THE SALT STORY
It began with the Saving of a Pub.
We couldn't let the Aireys Pub be bulldozed and turned in to a housing estate. Not on our shift. So in 2012 we got some mates together, pitched in and bought it.
In our naivety we didn't realise that all of the iconic Australian breweries had been sold to foreign interests. So when the big wigs waltzed in and told us what beers we "had to have" in our pub, we did what all good Australian pubs should do. We told them to bugger off.
By having Salt Brewing Co on premise at the Aireys Pub, it gives us the ability to serve fresh, outstanding beer made on premise. The beer can’t get much fresher and the food miles can’t get much lower than that!
We believe in supporting Australian jobs and Australian farmers while using pure clean water and as much local produce as we can.
While we focus on making a range out outstanding simple varieties, we also brew some exotic, hoppy, weird and wonderful beers.
SUSTAINABLE AND LOCAL
Solar Powered
We are proud to be running a 40kw solar system on our Pub roof, reducing our greenhouse emissions.
Ethical Farming
We do our best to support sustainable foods, like free range meats, eggs, poultry and sustainable seafood.
Horse Feed
All our spent grain from the Brewery is taken 2kms up the road to feed many hungry horses.
Recycling
We are constantly trying to reduce single use plastics and to maximise recycling over landfill rubbish.
Reducing Waste
Aireys Community Garden take our compostable waste creating fertiliser for their garden, while our team makes a conscious effort to reduce all waste through our venue.
