CBCo Brewing (formerly Colonial Brewing Co) is a microbrewery in Bramley Brook Valley, approximately 8 km north-east of Margaret River, Western Australia, and is set on 30 hectares (70 acres). CBCo Brewing produces a range of beers including several award-winning varieties which are sold on the domestic and international markets.

History

The brewery was established in 2004 by Ross Smith,[1][2] with head brewer, Steve Plowman, and was one of only three breweries established in the Margaret River area. In late 2006, the brewery was purchased by a group of investment bankers, the Empire Beer Group for $15M (AUS),[3] who subsequently arranged a $30M (AUS) public float,[2] to bankroll plans to open another outlet (with a larger brewing and packaging facility) in Fremantle. In July 2007, the Empire Beer Group purchased the Royal Bar and Brasserie in East Perth for $3.5M (AUS),[4] a departure from the plans outlined in the company's prospectus (which was to develop a second pub in Fremantle). In August 2008 the Empire Beer Group agreed to sell 'The Royal on the Waterfront' and the CBCo Brewing to the CLG for $4.5M (AUS),[5] a company owned by Chris Morris (the founder of Computershare).[6]

In 2008, CBCo Brewing appointed Mal Secourable as the head brewer (formerly the head brewer at Matso’s in Broome and a brewer at Fremantle’s Sail & Anchor), replacing Dean McLeod (who previously worked at the Lord Nelson Brewery Hotel and Malt Shovel Brewery). In 2009, the CBCo Draught won 'Best Ale Draught', Best Commercial Beer' and the Premier's Trophy for 'Best Western Australian Beer' at the Cryer Malt Perth Royal Show.[7][8] In March 2013 Secourable left CBCo Brewing and was replaced by Justin Fox (Swan Brewery and The Generous Squire Brewpub).[9]
