Stone & Wood

For the past seven years, we’ve been working towards a strong purpose for Stone & Wood. It’s about establishing a sustainable brewing business that actively develops, embraces and adds value to our local communities. As a business that is growing very rapidly in a regional area, we use a lot of water and need trade waste, systems and processes that some councils can be very restrictive about, but Tweed Shire Council works very well with us.

Looking after the environment is a big part of what we are trying to do. The caldera’s pristine rainforest and mountains certainly contribute to the quality of the water here – and beer is 95 per cent water, so it’s important to the quality of our beer. In the Tweed, we have the support of the local council, a growing population and a prime location – it’s just a great part of the country to do business in.
