When you were a lot younger than you are now, two fat dads from Tempe changed the world (probably). Somehow blessed with an extraordinary talent for creating beers that make jaws drop, Pat McInerney and Nick Newey launched Willie the Boatman in 2012.

Built with unhinged imagination, local mates, fierce independence and the finest ingredients, Willie is a brewery for true local characters. Inspired by the legend of a convict boatman, Pat and Nick proudly serve the community bloody great beers, wild yarns, and terrible love advice. Pop down and get some for yourself.

White Bay beer is living, breathing tangible liquid works of expression, passion and individualism. We challenge ourselves daily to brew the best beer we possibly can not because it comes easy to us, but because it is hard.

Because setting out to brew the best beer is a goal that will serve and organise us to the best of our abilities and skills.

Because we're prepared to find and cultivate a little corner in the world of beer to hang our hats on and to call our own.

Because how good is beer!?

Wayward is the ethos of travellers. It's a desire to see what's around the corner, to take the road less travelled and to embrace whatever you find. It's that romantic idea of the travel of old, when every departure was an adventure. Put simply, it's the act of getting lost on purpose.

At Wayward, we try to live this philosophy in our beer, our brewery and our people. We're not afraid to go off the beaten track and hope that in doing so, we create something that people are excited to drink and share with friends and family. Our beer pays homage to the classic European styles while creating something with a distinctly Wayward twist.

4Pines X Boardriders Coolangatta is a short 100m stroll from those white sandy shores, nestled on the beach front of the busy Strand precinct.

The open layout, clad in reclaimed wood, and bejewelled with festoon lighting, heralds 6 taps of our finest beer with 2 Keller door taps pumping some of the freshest, unique and innovative styles from our in house Smart brew Kit.

Sit back and enjoy the outdoor patio, watching the swell roll over with one hand on your finest pair of budgies and the other holding a pint of the freshest craft beer. What more could a beer lover want?
