Beaten Track Brewery

The brewery was founded by owner / proprietor Nick Galton-Fenzi in 2007. Its establishment marked the return to Kalgoorlie of brewing for local sales after an absence of 25 years.[1]

In 1982, Bond Corporation, owned by Australian businessman Alan Bond, closed and dismantled the Kalgoorlie Brewing and Ice Company as a part of a strategic realignment of its Swan Brewery operations. Kalgoorlie, a major mining centre, had enjoyed a rich history of local beer brewing since the establishment of the city in the late 1800s, supplying beer to the large population of miners throughout the Eastern Goldfields. The loss of local brewing (and the locally produced "Hannans Lager") was much lamented by the inhabitants of the Eastern Goldfields.

Following the packaging trends of the industry at the time, a cannery was installed in the brewery in January, 2017. This installation added 375 mL cans to the existing product lines of 640 mL glass bottles, 19 L kegs and 50 L Kegs.

Beaten Track brewery has taps in a number of bars and clubs in Kalgoorlie and sells its bottled products at a number of outlets in Kalgoorlie and Perth. Bottled, canned or kegged product is available for direct sale from the brewery, which is also open to the public for functions and tastings.

In October 2017, the Brewery was sold by Nick Galton-Fenzi to Mitch and Allira Dudarko.
