Modus Brewing
Modus Brewing was founded in 2014 by Jaz and Grant Wearin in Mona Vale on Sydney's Northern Beaches, in a warehouse that had previously housed an illegal hydroponic grow operation – the story behind its first flagship, Former Tenant. Trading as Modus Operandi Brewing Co. in its early years, it won the national craft beer title within months of opening. In 2021 a second brewery with a large taproom and about ten times the original capacity opened in Merewether, Newcastle. The business is independent and family-owned.

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.
Modus Pale
Their beers place in the Top 57% of the catalogue on average, across 12 ranked beers. Consistent rather than spiky — no single standout carrying the rest.
