We Brew Limited Edition Beer With A Story

We’re a tiny brewery. Like…seriously tiny. As a result a core range of beers is not high on our agenda. We want to have fun brewing new and interesting beers frequently to keep your taste buds excited and keep our brewer enthusiastic. Wtih that said, the Dapper Catcher turned out to be such an amazingly tasty beer, that our Brewer Joe loved so much, we decided to keep it in the range year round. 

Quality Beer
100%
Tasmanian Ingredients
80%

We are passionate about making good beer. We’re also passionate about sustainability and supporting local. As such we use as much Tasmanian Malt, hops and water in our brews as we can. We’re a massive fan of Norwegian Farmhouse yeast (Kveik). But we culture our own up in house to save food miles.

2019

where we started

Let's start a brewery that services all the cool events that happen here in St Helens...What could possibly go wrong!!!11!!!eleven!!11!!

Mid 2019

Everything went wrong

Where did all the events go?

2020

Total Redesign

So we need to brew for venues, this means kegs and cans. We better grow up a little. Gypsy brewing and producing tasty ales that are fast becoming the talk of the Tasmanian beer scene. 4 seasonal brews in partnership with local beergarden The Social and local Japanese Restaraunt Raida launch this new venture. 

2021

Beer around the State

We're ballin on a budget. Distributing all the beer ourselves due to a lack of affordable courier services from our remote regional location, we have expanded slowly to a stage where our beer is available all over Tasmania in independent, craft beer focussed venues.

Why Choose Manchild

The Taste That Makes You go Mhmmm.

Manchild use as much hyper local ingredients as we can. Where we can’t we strive to reduce our carbon footprint. We culture yeasts in house as an example, keeping our house culture of Kveik going into brews for years to come. 

Local Recipes

We love to work with local producers to incorporate ingredients such as cherries, blueberries, oysters and kelp into our recipes.

Selected Malts

We use Joe White Malts produced here in Tasmania as our preferred supplier. Occasional specialty malts are required for select recipes and where possibly we source Australian Grown products.

Quality Hops

Head brewer Joe's great grandparents worked the hop fields of Bushy Park. His grandmother grew up making a yearly pilgramige when "the 'ops were up". Just 45 minutes drive from Manchild HQ are the hop fields of Branxholm. Hop Products Australia are an industry leader producing premium product. Manchild Love their hops and use them wherever possible.

Best Craft Beer

All of this results in the best qualty product hitting your glass. If you see a Manchild beer on tap or in your local bottleshop fridge, rest assured we have put our heart and soul into making it as tasy and interesting as we can.
