THE HOME OF LONG FLAVOUR

It’s true… Our brewer, Frank, won’t compromise on taste or craft.

Frank’s brewing process requires a slow, methodical and hands-on technique. The emphasis is on using only the best raw ingredients and the brewer’s craft to create a more complex beer.   That’s not to say we aren’t always looking to the future – we’re quite happy to embrace both tradition and progress.

It requires a totally hands-on approach, and that’s how we like it. And when you get your hands on one of our beers, we guarantee you’ll taste the difference.

What is Craft Beer?

Craft beer can broadly be defined as a beer made in a traditional way by a small brewery where the outcome is largely determined by skills and knowledge of the brewer and the quality of the ingredients used in the brewing process.

You may wonder why craft beer consumption has taken off these days? Like for many other products, beer drinkers are becoming more discerning with the beers they consume and buy. They make decisions based on taste, wholesomeness, integrity and the naturalness of the product. Beliefs, political judgements and the relationships with the people that produce the beer may also be important decision points when buying beers.

At the Prancing Pony Brewery we believe in using the finest, purest ingredients without rushing the process or skipping on ingredients. We use malt, hops, yeast and water ONLY. Our beers are made with love and we have fun while we make them.

We are a small privately 100% Australian owned business and we are proud to serve our beers to our customers.

Giddy up.

Key members of the Prancing Pony Brewery herd are:

Frank Samson (Brewing Pony)
Frank loves flavoursome beers. He is the Head Brewer, Engineer, Physicist and generally good guy. Frank can imagine smells in his head and enjoys creating flavour from plants grown in the ground, neat and pure. He enjoys his food and sausages, potatoes and pickles are his favorite food. He has a wicked sense of humour and still laughs when watching the Blues Brothers although he has seen it at least 10 times. He is meticulous in his approach to brewing, a bit compulsive perhaps and defiantly inpatient but sure about his love for Craft Beer.

Corinna Steeb (Business Pony)
Corinna is the Business Pony who gallops ahead looking for greener grass and the next grazing paddock. Corinna is the CEO, she can be a bit tough and loves to close a good deal and is the internal optimist. Trained in Medical Sciences, details don’t escape her. She likes to talk, meet and connect people and always thinks of new and exciting things to do. She loves the Black Ale with a mildly spicy curry. She is always busy doing what she does best, keeping busy.

Paul Smith (Sales Pony)
Paul is a foodie, craft beer lover and connoisseur of all things good. His favourite beer is the Copper, our beautifully dry hopped English Ale. Paul is the Sales Pony and gets a kick out of seeing our beers listed in trendy venues, matched with cool foods. His favorite words are brilliant, awesome, delicious and really?

Jessica Smith (Finance Pony)
Jessica love to organize numbers and gets a kick out of counting things. She loves the Craft beer scene, eclectic venue fit outs and she is the chalk board queen. We all love Jessica because her writing is so neat, it’s the only one we all can read. Her favorite beer is the Pale Ale and she is really happy that it was chosen by Jamie’s Italian.
