In the early days of Holgate, brewing was a lot more hands on - quite literally! Here’s a few shots of the whole family helping us bottle by hand, and our early brewing equipment. We’re proud of how far we’ve come, and the focus we put on innovation, quality and efficiency while continuing to grow our range of beers, our capacity and our Holgate family, today and into the future. #innovation #craftbeerpioneers #familyowned #20yearsofbrewing #doubledecade #drinkholgate #braukon

Paul and Natasha’s first baby, Emily, was born in September 1998. The pair then gave birth to their second ‘baby’, the brewing business, just one year later! This photo was taken around Emily's first birthday, as the two founders were gearing up to launch the business and install / commission their small commercial 15hL brewery in a shed in the backyard. #familyowned #craftbeerpioneers #20yearsofbrewing #doubledecade #drinkholgate

As a kid, Paul Holgate enjoyed baking bread and making jam with his mum. He always loved to make things from scratch. So it was only logical he’d start brewing beers in his shed - or on the porch - at home. Here he is with the Holgate Brewhouse idea twinkling in his eye. The brewing kit has definitely expanded since those days! #craftbeerpioneers #20yearsofbrewing #doubledecade #drinkholgate

Holgate are celebrating 20 years of brewing this year but do you know the whole story? It all started not in 1999 but back in 1987 when this young couple met in university. They dreamed of starting a business, and made their dreams come true by opening one of Victoria’s first craft breweries - and a few years later their own historic hotel and brewhouse. And they’re still going strong! #craftbeerpioneers #20yearsofbrewing #doubledecade #drinkholgate

In the early days of Holgate, brewing was a lot more hands on - quite literally! Here’s a few shots of the whole family helping us bottle by hand, and our early brewing equipment. We’re proud of how far we’ve come, and the focus we put on innovation, quality and efficiency while continuing to grow our range of beers, our capacity and our Holgate family, today and into the future. #innovation #craftbeerpioneers #familyowned #20yearsofbrewing #doubledecade #drinkholgate #braukon

Paul and Natasha’s first baby, Emily, was born in September 1998. The pair then gave birth to their second ‘baby’, the brewing business, just one year later! This photo was taken around Emily's first birthday, as the two founders were gearing up to launch the business and install / commission their small commercial 15hL brewery in a shed in the backyard. #familyowned #craftbeerpioneers #20yearsofbrewing #doubledecade #drinkholgate

As a kid, Paul Holgate enjoyed baking bread and making jam with his mum. He always loved to make things from scratch. So it was only logical he’d start brewing beers in his shed - or on the porch - at home. Here he is with the Holgate Brewhouse idea twinkling in his eye. The brewing kit has definitely expanded since those days! #craftbeerpioneers #20yearsofbrewing #doubledecade #drinkholgate

Holgate are celebrating 20 years of brewing this year but do you know the whole story? It all started not in 1999 but back in 1987 when this young couple met in university. They dreamed of starting a business, and made their dreams come true by opening one of Victoria’s first craft breweries - and a few years later their own historic hotel and brewhouse. And they’re still going strong! #craftbeerpioneers #20yearsofbrewing #doubledecade #drinkholgate

Holgate are celebrating 20 years of brewing this year but do you know the whole story? It all started not in 1999 but back in 1987 when this young couple met in university. They dreamed of starting a business, and made their dreams come true by opening one of Victoria’s first craft breweries - and a few years later their own historic hotel and brewhouse. And they’re still going strong! #craftbeerpioneers #20yearsofbrewing #doubledecade #drinkholgate
