BREHENY BROTHERS BREWERY

Brief

Our Story The Brehenys are the most influential family in Australian Brewing History with eighteen different Breheny men working in dozens of breweries from 1850 -1950. In 1891 'Breheny Bros. Breweries' was established and barrels of tasty ale were made and drunk until the mid 1930's when operations ceased. Over one hundred years later descendants of the Breheny brothers found the original recipe books and started remaking the historic beer! Thus, Breheny Bros. Breweries' was established.
