About
Caldera Brewing & Blending Co is a Murwillumbah-based brewery specialising in small batch, barrel aged, mixed culture saisons. Our beers are inspired by the world-class growers, chefs, and producers of our region and are made for pairing with good food.
Nick's expertise in production, quality, and engineering was honed at award-winning breweries like Balter, Seven Mile, and Black Hops. Dom brings a wealth of experience in commercialising cutting-edge science and technology. Together we launched Caldera Brewing & Blending Co in 2022.
We think quality, sustainability and tradition go hand in hand. Our beers are fermented using a unique blend of yeasts and bacteria and aged inside oak barrels. To elevate these creations, we source local, organic, or regeneratively farmed hops, fruits, and botanicals.
Our mission is as bold as our flavours: To create exceptional beers that pair perfectly with the incredible food of our region, to be a part of a supportive community, and to protect our natural world.
Regenerative farming and sustainable, local supply chains are a priority for us and we are delighted to be a member of Northern Rivers Food (NRF), with many other passionate and creative local businesses. The abundance of high quality fruit and botanicals in our region means we can now collaborate with even more of the producers of the region, large and small, to deliver an experience unique to the Northern Rivers.
By joining the Independent Brewers Association (IBA), we're supporting a collective voice for independent Australian brewers. The IBA advocates for our industry, fighting for recognition and ensuring a sustainable future for independent beer. We're committed to upholding the values of quality, independence, and community that the IBA represents.
