One Mile Brewing Co - Winnellie | Microbrewery

One Mile Brewery was established in 2012 by Stuart Brown and Bardy Bayram. The Brewery was originally set up in Stu's shed in Stuart Park near the old one mile station. As keen home-brewers, Stu and Bardy experimented with brewing all kinds of beers, including wheat beers, pale ales and stouts. The guys also made apple ciders. To perfect their brew, Stu completed a post-graduate brewing course at the University of Ballarat. Their experimentation with brewing quickly became a passion. As their experience grew, Stu and Bardy began to tinker with their set-up to enable them to make bigger quantities and better quality beer. The fledging brewery quickly outgrew the shed. Stu and Bardy's passion for beer made them keenly aware that Darwin was lacking locally produced beer. This spurred them on to try and develop their own commercial micro-brewery, and so the process began to transform One Mile Brewery from a hobby to a business.
