Wayward Brewing Co. was launched in Sydney in 2012 by Peter Philip as a gypsy brewer, releasing an India Red Ale, a Kellerbier, a Bière de Garde and an Eisbock on borrowed kit. In 2015 the brewery moved into a former wine cellar on Gehrig Lane in Camperdown, with Shaun Blissett as head brewer. The core range centres on sessionable pale ales, a lager, two IPAs and a raspberry Berliner Weisse. Since 2025 the brand belongs to the UK-based Powder Monkey Group and is brewed at Akasha's Five Dock site; the Camperdown taproom closed in August 2025.

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.
