South Yeast Brewing

South Yeast Brewing, based in North Nowra, surrounded by the beautiful outdoors of the South Coast, Shoalhaven region. We are community focused, family/pet friendly, small batch brewery, aiming to deliver craft beer in all varieties of style, for all beer lovers. We believe in good beer, good times and good culture, focusing on promoting live music and local food trucks. Come grab a beer at the bar or grab a take away, growler and squealers available, see you soon.

South Yeast Brewing, established in 2020 is the dream of local twin brothers Joey and Simon Panucci. It all started with widely appreciated home brews at local parties and gigs. So Joey set about to chase his dream and put South Yeast Brewing together. Both Joey and Simon are a part of the ‘Brew Team’, Joey the Head Brewer and Simon the Brew Hand.

As the only full time staff, both contribute to all the work, Joey with his recipes and Simon doing the art for the brewery. There is a strong community vibe at the brewery with locals and landmarks included in some of the beer art. It’s a friendly, welcoming space for families, friends and pets. No TV’s hanging on the walls, just music, brews and food promoting good old fashioned connection. There is a strong local base of talent, with guest brewers and collaborations being made with local food trucks and musicians to
keep the place vibing.

The brewery itself is set up to do double batching to produce a 400l output on a brew day. With its smaller output the focus of the brewing is to keep a consistent variety of beer available on the taps, while cycling a new beer every month or so. As a brewery still in the early stages of business we have a growth plan of providing a quality product which we aim to be selling in bottle shops and at local bars soon. We hope to see you at the brewery!
