About Us

Good Drinks Australia is one of the country’s largest independent brewers. Home to several beer and drink brands, the Good Drinks family includes Gage Roads Brew Co, Matso’s Broome Brewery, Atomic Beer Project, Alby, Hello Sunshine, Millers, Coorrs, Magners and San Miguel.

It began with Gage Roads. Gage Roads isn't a road at all. It's the strip of ocean separating the port city of Fremantle and Rottnest Island off the coast of WA. It's home to seagulls and sharks; surfers and swimmers; ships and sailors. A place where you can relax, explore, escape, or seek out adventure. We saw a lot of ourselves in this spot, so in 2005 when we started brewing we decided to name our brewery after it. 

Since then we have grown to become one of Australia's largest independent craft brewers. In 2018 we purchased Matso's Broome Brewery, as well as our newest brand Atomic Beer Project and venue in Sydney in 2020, we also purchased a venue that will soon be the home of Matso’s on the Sunshine Coast. 

Further to this as of July 1st, 2022 Good Drinks Australia has gone into a distribution partnership with Miller-Coors International that includes brands such as Coors, Miller Chill, Miller Genuine Draft, Miller Blood Orange as well as Magners Irish Cider.

With these new brands in the stable, we created Good Drinks, a new name to represent our independent Australian drinks company and our family of brands. Now you'll find our growing portfolio of award-winning drinks in quality liquor stores and quality bars & restaurants across the country.
