Bridge Road Brewers
Bridge Road Brewers is an independent Australian brewery based in Beechworth, a regional town of around 3,000 people, that created Australia's first wet-hopped alcohol-free beer. Founded by Ben Kraus, the brewery sources locally-grown hops for its alcohol-free range.
Wet-hopping is a technique in which freshly harvested, undried hops are added directly to the brew while still green, capturing aromas and flavours that the drying process would otherwise diminish. Bridge Road Brewers applied this technique to alcohol-free production, and its use of locally-grown hops ties the range to the region where the brewery is based.
The brewery runs a membership group called the Posse, giving enthusiasts a direct connection to the brand and its releases. Two of its alcohol-free drinks have picked up awards. As an independent operation in a small regional community, Bridge Road Brewers produces from the Beechworth base where it was established.
