They have an unmistakable spirit for adventure and being 100% employee owned, they are known for taking care of each other, their customers, communities, and last but not the least, the environment. 

Zierholz Premium Brewery

Known for being Canberra’s fresh beer company, their head brewer - Christoph Zierholz - has been crafting German-inspired beers with a special Canberra twist since 2005. Zierholz is known for infusing little bit of European class to the industrial suburb with a range of German crafts bound to blow your mind. It’s not just a great place to drink but also an equally exceptional place to brush up your knowledge of German varieties, be it a Dunkel, Doppelbock, or Schankbier!
