let's tap into their story!

Most breweries start out as a love story; a brewer’s fiery love for beer. However, Holgate started with both a love for beer and also a love between two passionate beer lovers, Paul and Tash Holgate. Paul and Tash were both studying science degrees in Melbourne and they met as lab partners in a Chemistry class.
After the two graduated, they got married and soon after, Paul got into homebrewing. Paul has always had a love for creating things, and brewing his own beer was right up his alley. Soon, the idea of starting a brewery also started to brew along with his various concoctions.

In 1997, Paul and Tash came across a small brewing industry while they were on holiday in the U.S. and Paul was inspired by the honest work that the owners put in. The owners did not make grand cash and the operations were tough, but they still did their best to churn out the best brews for the sake of their customers. It was then that Paul desired to open their own brewery, and persuaded Tash to support his dream.

Holgate then…

In 1999, the idea of starting a brewery became a reality and Holgate was born! Originally a historical hotel, the Holgate Brewhouse became a combination of a brewery, public bar, restaurant, and hotel - all under a single roof! The Brewhouse thus became a popular spot for beer tourists as visitors could see how the beer is made in the brewery, have a nice meal at the restaurant, drink a beer or two at the bar, and stay for the night.

However, not everything was smooth sailing back then. With only Paul in charge of the brewing process while Tash oversaw the administration and logistics, it truly was tough as manpower was severely lacking. Even when they first bottled their beers, they had to employ the whole family to help!

Despite having to do everything from scratch, Paul was still very determined and committed to his craft. He endured all the hardships and continued to buy his own grain and mill everything by hand.

Vs Holgate now!

As of today, Holgate has a handful of skilled brewers and a competent sales team to help brew quality beers and also bring new and unique ideas to the table. In 2002, the couple set up their first brewhouse in their new Holgate Brewhouse, which helped increase production. Throughout the years, Holgate continued to expand and now has a second, state-of-the-art Braukon Brewhouse in its newly built brewery at the rear of Paul and Tash’s hotel.
