About
Ventura Brewing is a Murwillumbah craft brewery with a difference: rather than beer, it brews hard kombucha — alcoholic kombucha made in small batches with natural ingredients, herbs and botanicals. The result is a clean, crisp drink with a delicate body and light spritz, billed as one of Australia's first craft alcoholic kombuchas.
Established in 2018 on Bundjalung Country in the Northern Rivers, the brewery has earned recognition for doing something different, taking out Australia's Best Alternative Drink at the 2022 Drink Easy Awards. Its drinks are available through the online shop and a range of stockists. The Lundberg Drive site keeps limited opening hours, so it's worth checking ahead before visiting.
