Bridge Road Brewers began in June 2005 in a shed on Beechworth's Bridge Road, where Ben and Maria Kraus fitted a thousand-litre plant, a bar, a tasting room and a bottling line into one cramped space. Ben had left for Europe to study winemaking and came back a brewer after a stint at a small brewery in Innsbruck. The operation moved into the town's old Coach House and Stables in 2006 and today runs a 340-seat taproom, a pizzeria and a 25-hectolitre brewhouse, with a second venue in East Brunswick, Melbourne.

Their signature has to hold across very different styles — which makes the notes that do recur more telling, not less.

What sets them apart
Each beer measured against others of its own style, then averaged across the range. Compared with the wider catalogue across breweries making similar styles.

Notably less refreshing than typical.

Across 32 beers in 9 style families, one trait still carries through — a broad range makes a shared signature harder to hold.
