Willie the Boatman - St Peters | Microbrewery

"Willie The Boatman" will be Tempe's very own Micro-Brewery. The name Willie the Boatman is a part of Tempe's colourful history. In 1830 Willie, a Scottish convict, was sent to work for A.B. Sparks, the owner of the new Tempe House. Willie's job was to row A.B. Sparks, visitors and supplies across the Cooks River. Today "Willie the Boatman" is back in the lime light with our Micro Brewery name after the Scotsman himself. Brewers Nick Newey and Pat McInerney hope to over the next 12 months develop a beer that not only celebrates fine craft beer it also celebrates the community as well.
