Aether is an independent local brewery based in Northgate Brisbane.
We know you’ve heard it before, but here at Aether, we’re genuinely dedicated to doing things differently. Inspired by the word ‘quintessence’ or the mysterious fifth element, Aether Brewing cultivates this unknown essence in the magic we bring to our beer, ginger beer and seltzer range.
Aether Brewing is wholly-owned by Dave and Annie Ward and backed by their amazing families. Being independent and family-owned means we have the freedom to experiment, and can cultivate a workplace that really doesn’t feel like work.
For us, creativity is our passion, and this year we’re diving headfirst into some really exciting long term commitments to supporting the Australian arts community. Creativity, community, authenticity, quality, and balance are the five core pillars or values that help guide us in everything that we do…
Here at Aether Brewing, creativity is what enables our personal fulfilment, but also our existence and growth as a brewery. We’re lucky enough to express ourselves by brewing and sharing our craft beers with the good folk of Australia, and beyond!
We embrace creativity and flair. We aim to bring excitement to what we do through the imagination of our brewers and our partners, sharing our passion with our customers by bringing them beers and experiences they don’t always expect.
We love our team, our supporters, and collaborators – those who engage with us and grow with us. We embrace relationships with our competing breweries as our friends. We must support each other in mutual inspiration, professional dedication, and industry solidarity; particularly in these challenging times. Wholesalers and retailers are our professional collaborators – we must support each other, and work together so that everyone wins.
We remain committed to providing the good people of Australia and beyond, with consistently fresh, quality beer. The past couple of years have been incredibly tough for our industry, and we must do our best to support local. If we expect others to support us, so too, we must support local, and so we seek local ingredients and partnerships whenever possible.
Our award-winning beers are brewed right here in Queensland, and every cent we make stays right here in Australia. We prioritise research and development in everything we do, so we can improve the way we do things and thereby minimise our impact on the environment. We strive for greater efficiency and look to reduced waste in all aspects of our business.
