★ Award winningKnown for a full range of styles

Founded in 2008 as a 500-litre brewpub opposite Manly Wharf on Sydney's Northern Beaches, 4 Pines added a larger production brewery in nearby Brookvale in 2011. The original microbrewery still runs, turning out small-batch releases for the pub. AB InBev bought the company in 2017, and the brand now sits within Asahi's Australian business. The brewery is B Corp certified, runs its core beers under 1% for the Planet and operates its own bars across New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland.

How we measure this

Two thresholds are at work here:

  • The signature list shows notes that recur in at least 6% of this brewery's beers. A low bar — enough to flag a pattern, not high enough to call it an exclusive trait.
  • The peer comparison below shows only notes where this brewery's coverage differs from similar breweries by at least 20 percentage points. A higher bar — enough to call a real difference, not a nudge.

A note can appear on the signature list without appearing in the peer comparison: it recurs here, but similar breweries do the same thing.
