Our Story

Founded in 2014 from a love for brands, the drinks industry and a commitment to social impact, Big Hug Brewing was born.

As ‘Hobo’ brewers we don’t own our own brewery. But that’s our story. That’s what makes us a little bit different.  We work with some of the best in the industry to help us achieve our vision of becoming a positive impact business and create beers that are accessible, easy drinking and full of flavour.

Today, under Matt's leadership, Big Hug  is a brand with a social cause at its heart. It stands for not only great beer but also for community engagement and positive social impact. We believe that if everyone gave a little something back the world would be a better place for it. Every beer sold supports partnerships with homeless charities like Only A Pavement Away, Change Please, and YMCA, as well as our sustainability partnership with One Tribe.

We make beer with purpose. Join us on our journey as we continue to strive forward, create unforgettable experiences, and support causes that are close to our hearts. We believe in making a difference—one beer at a time.
