Inspired by our coastline.
Brewed for your good times.

Freshwater Brewing is your local independent brewery on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, inspired by sunny days, cold beers and good company.

Our name comes from the spirit of Freshwater itself. The surf, the stories, the salty hair and the simple joy of catching up with mates. We brew beer for those moments. 

Whether you're here for live music, burger specials, Sunday sessions, or just a schooner after a swim at Freshwater Beach, our Brookvale taproom is your home base, built for long afternoons, big celebrations and catch ups with friends and family. 

We can’t wait to share a Freshie with you.
