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 they compare

Across 8 beers in 5 style families, none of Wayward Brewing Co.'s characters carry through the whole range — the mix of styles they brew is the signature here.
