    Back soon!

let's tap into their story!

In 2012, Peter Philip - one of Sydney’s most prominent gypsy brewers - launched Wayward Brewing Co in Camperdown, Australia with a decade-long love for homebrewing. His wayward ethos comes from an insatiable wanderlust and love for travel - beer pilgrimages in particular!
Philip started out as a humble homebrewer who’d experiment with recipes and brew small test batches at his home. He would then head to local breweries such as Riverside, Batch and Illawarra, to sell his brews under the Wayward Brewing label.
It was at Illawarra Brewing Co. that Philip met Shaun Blissett, who was a part of the brew team. The two immediately hit it off after discovering each other’s strengths in a creative collaboration process.

Blissett was very amused with Philip’s non-traditional approaches to brewing while Philip was impressed with Blissett’s impressive skill set. Having spent his formative years at Illawarra, Blissett is a dedicated and innovative beer inventor who is truly indispensable to the Wayward brewing team.
After a few years of contract brewing, Philip found a location for Wayward and the two opened the doors to their Camperdown brewery and taproom in October, 2015. To this day, the masterful brewing duo continue to complement each other as they regularly invent beers that bring new wayward twists to old styles.

Wayward’s exciting brews

At Wayward, the brewing team believes that craft beer is all about flavour. As such, the team meticulously sources the best ingredients from all over the world so that they don’t compromise on taste. Sure, their approach may be wayward, but they take their brewing process very seriously!

Wayward beers use all-natural ingredients that are preservative free, unpasteurised and unfiltered. From hop bombs to dark beers to weird and wonderful sours, you are sure to find something you’d love! The brewery’s core range focuses on crowd pleasers that are accessible but distinctive, including the Hazy Mid-Strength Ale, the Raspberry Berliner Weisse, and the Everyday Australian Pale Ale.
The brewery also periodically launches limited releases that feature unique beers such as the Sourade Blue Blast Berry Gose, a refreshingly tart, electric blue sour ale that’s inspired by popular sports drinks. Other quirky Wayward brews include Coffee and Donuts Milk Stout, Peaches & Cream Vanilla Sour, and Irish Cream Dessert Stout With Whiskey.

Wayward’s anniversary falls on 17 September annually, so the brewery would actually create a special beer (or two) just to celebrate. Just last year, Wayward released 2 rock-and-roll themed IPAs - Hazy Triple IPA and Imperial IPA - for a rockin’ good time!

Wayward Brewing: truly a wayward brewery!

Wayward brews for adventure; it’s committed to push the limits and create beers that are worth travelling for. The brewery's name, Wayward, reflects its independent spirit and desire to break from tradition. At Wayward, nothing is out of bounds. The brewery actively tries to keep its tap list interesting while ensuring that its beers remain accessible to both first time craft beer drinkers and seasoned vets!
