Be part of the craft brewing boom.
We have big plans to take our unique business model and highly scalable operation into other Australian capital cities and, ultimately, overseas.
In Perth, our operations currently include a brewing hub and three craft brewhouse venues, with another one in construction phase. There are 5 more venues in various planning stages. We are also contract-brewing for 3 Ravens and Nail craft beer brands, selling in bottleshops. Our brewing hub can support up to 20 craft beer brewpub venues, and we see opportunity to replicate the ‘hub & spoke’ business model in other cities.
We are currently looking to raise $10 million in a pre-IPO round to expand into Melbourne and prove the business model before listing on the ASX in 3 years.
THE SEGMENT IS FAST GROWING.
Craft beer is the rapidly expanding segment of the $623 billion global beer market, growing at a rate of 10% year-on-year.
The production of craft beer in Australia has evolved into a large and rapidly growing industry with annual sales in excess of $370 million.
Today’s consumers are much more discerning about the beers they choose and the venues they frequent. They actively seek out local craft brewers to support and seeing the brewing tanks at a venue is part of the theatre.

OUR STORY.
Limestone Coast Brewing grew from humble beginnings. Almost three decades ago, a chemical engineering student and an electrical engineering student started experimenting with home brewing at their share house. These young men on a mission took it to the next level with some very sophisticated innovations and computer-controlled system engineering.
Later in life, after successful careers in their chosen fields, their minds turned to brewing again. With a wider expert team, they explored the rise and rise of the craft beer market and identified a need for an elegant solution to help hospitality venues to become small local craft brewers.
The result is a patent-pending world-class system that sits in your venue on a small footprint. Limestone Coast Brewing partners with you and puts our own skin in the game to provide a complete service. We are responsible for consistently helping you produce great beers, ciders, or seltzers. The more successful we can make your business, the more successful we become.
