Every beer has a story. So does every brewery. And trust us, we've got a few to tell.

Welcome to Behind The Brews — your backstage pass to everything Smiley Brewing. From the crazy idea that started it all to the beers we brew, the people we meet, the good times we create and the occasional bit of chaos along the way.

We're pulling back the curtain on life at our little independent brewery in Pakenham. Expect stories from the brewhouse, behind-the-scenes adventures, fresh beer releases, taproom happenings and plenty of things that probably seemed like a good idea at the time.

So grab a beer, get comfortable and come along for the ride.
