Balter Brewing

We think good beer shares a lot of qualities with a good host - they are both approachable, thoughtful, and value character over currency. Above all, both help bring a wide range of people together to get them smiling.

Our approach to making beer is built on this notion. We want everybody to experience the delight of bonding over a tasty brew, whether that’s hop driven wonders or malt-driven deliciousness. This means using the best ingredients we can get our hands on, taking advantage of the best technology we can afford, and using techniques that are geared towards taste rather than brewing speed. It also means creating a vast of range flavours that can reach a broad set of palates.

Since starting in March 2016 our beer has won a bunch of awards. Most notably we took out Best International Pale Ale at the AIBA Awards in 2017, Champion Medium Size Brewery and Best Newcomer (rookie of the year). While it feels nice to be winning the approval of beer judges, we value the word of mouth from one friend to another more than anything else. If somebody loves what we do so much they feel it’s important enough to share with their mates, well, that’s the greatest accolade we could achieve. It's why winning the GABS Hottest 100 Craft Beers two years in a row (2017,2018) is our proudest achievement.

So, if you’re hosting an event we encourage you to think about who’s coming. Invite them in with a warm smile and a chill drop to suit their tastes. If that’s our beer, or someone else's, we’re happy. It’s all about giving the best welcome you can and spreading that joy with others. The joy of the ‘Good Beer Movement’.
