Illawarra Brewing Company  

The Illawarra Brewing Company was established from the former Five Islands Brewing Company in Wollongong.

Illawarra Brewing Company supplies 7 ongoing handcrafted beers and 2 rotating seasonal beers to bars, restaurants, and cafes in Wollongong and the surrounding regions, and The Illawarra Brewery Bar on South Beach in Wollongong showcases all 9 brands. Illawarra Brewing Company also brews a number of beers on contract for some of the best craft breweries in NSW.

Early 2012 IBC moved from its home of 9 years to a new production site in Montague Street in North Wollongong with a fully equipped 19hL brewery and a brand new tasting bar for brewery tours and craft beer education.

Shaun Blissett and Ashur Hall took over full-time brewing operations in June 2010 and have continued to develop, improve and expand the impressive line-up of quality craft beers produced by the Illawarra Brewing Co. IBCs focus is on traditional styles, developing a mix of beers approachable to those new to craft beer, but whilst also still challenging the palate of the educated.
