8 | LUXlife Magazine et us take you back to 2013. In the peaceful town of Oldbury, Australia, there was a particular family, popular among their neighbours, who had an incredible knack for making the perfect glass of cider. So perfect, in fact, that its taste started to attract people from beyond the neighbourhood. As such, after five years of organically developing into the idea of becoming a brewery, King Road Brewing Company finally opened its doors to the public in 2018. Revolved around the values that first gave the business traction, King Road Brewing Company invites predominantly young families from the surrounding up and coming suburbs to indulge in some quality beer and cider. At its core, King Road Brewing Company is a family venue that seeks to be a safe space for those who are looking for a place to belong. This ethos translates to every aspect of the brewery – from its staff to its overall atmosphere, it has gone above and beyond to create a place where any can enjoy themselves. Beer and cider alike are to be savoured among friends, and this is exactly what the team at King Road Brewing Company aims to be – a friend. It has never forgotten where it came from, allowing it to remain humble whilst it garners frequent success. All of these qualities combined makes for a communal venue that encourages diversity, inclusivity, and an overarching sense of togetherness. In terms of aforementioned success, King Road Brewing Company has never been better. With consistent entries into beer shows and competitions often ending with a trophy in hand, King Road Brewing Company has managed to consistently prove that it’s more than a communal venue. Behind it is a real passion for brewing – one that began small, and has now escalated into what we see today. In addition, just one year into brewing beer, King Road Brewing Company earned itself a trophy for Best New Exhibitor in 2020, and progressed to win Best International Style Pale Ale for its IPA at the Australian Beer Awards in Melbourne, and again at Perth’s Royal Beer Show in 2021. These accomplishments have been followed by many, many more, and yet King Road Brewing Company has always remained true to its roots. As such, it wholeheartedly attributes the thriving of the business to its staff. Having fantastic staff morale is imperative within any collective, but King Road Brewing Company takes this to a new level entirely. Having sets its sights on upholding mutual respect between employees and managing staff alike, the venue has determined the perfect balance between work and fun.
