Sleeping Giant...

What a year! Our first FULL year as a brewery, and it’s been past the point of insane from start to finish. We’ve worked hard, had a few challenging days along the way, but nothing can get past the fact that every day has been an adventure, and one that we’re absolutely in love with. We cannot do what we do without the support of all of you. Thanks to the bars, pubs, restaurants, bottle shops, publicans, beer aficionados, pub goers, Instagram iceman pourers, untappd badge collectors, our neighbours, friends, families, suppliers, hauliers, fellow brewers, and everyone else who has helped us in some way…for helping us to make beer, make our “jobs” fun, supporting our brewery, make every day be at least a little bit awesome.

We will be back next year, with more of everything: new beers, returning beers, tap takeover events, silly polls on Facebook, the colour pink on all the things, UFO's and obscure music references. In the meantime, we’re off for a beer. See you on the otherside!

Merry Christmas from Aron, Luke, Andy, Cameron: Team TP.
