Brew up something special in your backyard
Dreaming of your own microbrewery? A backyard brewery gives you the space to experiment, refine your craft, and enjoy the process without leaving home. Whether you're a passionate homebrewer, a weekend beer maker, or a local entrepreneur looking to scale up, a custom-built granny flat offers the room, functionality and privacy to bring your brewing setup to life.
Designed for your brewing needs
At Backyard Grannys, we know that a great brewing space needs more than just four walls. It needs the right layout, ventilation, storage, and finishes that can handle the demands of brewing equipment and ingredients. Our in-house architect can help you design a backyard brewery that suits your brewing style - whether you're running a single-vessel system or planning a more advanced setup with temperature control and fermenting chambers.
We’ve worked with clients across Newcastle, the Central Coast and Hunter Valley to create functional, stylish backyard spaces - and a brewery is no different. With our custom design process, we can factor in everything from floor drainage and durable surfaces to storage for your kegs, bottles, or cans.
From hobby to side hustle
For some, a backyard brewery is a passion project. For others, it’s the first step toward something bigger. If you’re planning to open your brewing setup to friends, events, or tastings, a separate backyard space lets you do that while keeping it private and professional. Depending on your council’s regulations, you might even explore options for small-scale commercial use - our team can help advise on this during the planning process.
Fully approved and expertly built
Backyard Grannys takes care of the approvals and construction process from start to finish. We'll assess your site, determine if your brewery build qualifies for a Complying Development Certificate (CDC) or needs a Development Application (DA), and manage all the documentation and submissions for you.
We work with trusted local trades and suppliers who understand the level of detail and durability a space like this requires. And throughout the build, you’ll stay in the loop with your dedicated site manager.
