We have been knocking out quality craft beer since 2003, some like to say we are one of the pioneers of the Australian craft beer revolution. CoBrew is a concept that encompasses our brewing philosophy, Real Beer Real Local. We consider the term brew to be more of a metaphor for creation rather than just the process of making beer. Living proof of a successful small local business that's turned a dream into a reality, we understand the needs of creatives because we’re just like you, crafter's. It's this knowledge and experience that we want to share with others and help build a local community where people from all creative disciplines have access to an inspiring array of skills, experiences and minds to help us all grow.

Our aim is to redefine the way we work and build a community for anyone that feels that the future is about sharing, collaborating and creating.  

A space to work differently.

                        

What We're About

                     


Packages

                     
We're still in the transformation stages but when the space is complete its going to be a light, fun and inspiring space to work from. There will be a large communal area with 30+ private desks, communal desks and craft tables, along with relaxing chill-out areas with many plants to bring us life and clean air. There are small and large studios spaces, dynamic private meeting rooms and a large boardroom for you to talk privately with clients as well as the brewery bar where you can wind down or entertain guests.

There will be networking events, workshops and classes aimed toward personal development and business growth. Members will also have the opportunity to showcase their own works in the space as well as on market days throughout the year.

We're here to cater to all creatives whether your a student, fine artist, maker, designer, writer, photographer, entrepreneur or just someone that considers themselves a creative worker.

Introduction to CoBrew

                     
Thornbury, the rising star of the North, has a secret that’s almost ready to be exposed. Above one of Melbourne’s favourite craft breweries, 3 Ravens, lies a jewel that is in its transformation stages of becoming a creative co-working spacecraft. A place for locals to think differently, create differently and work differently.

After many years, the team out at the 3 Ravens have become a little lonely and are looking to build a local community, sharing their space with other creative minded individuals, entrepreneurs and small businesses that have an affinity with all that is crafted.

Jump aboard their spacecraft and become a founding member of the first ever brewery + bar co-working space.


Meet the Founder

                                     

We all have to make choices. Choices that either directly or indirectly influence every single moment of our lives. With a couple of business and design related undergraduate degrees under my belt by 2003 the common pressure at the time was to get a ‘real job’. A real job, what the hell does that even mean!? An office job, where apparently wearing a suit implies intelligence and power? Where 9am until 5pm are the only times you can sit at your desk to complete your daily tasks? A job that promotes conformity and one that frowns at alternative forms of self expression? If real is meant to mean being real to ones self then a real job should be the one you’ve chosen, as that’s the real you.

For me, freelance design work seemed like the right path. Freedom to work when I want and wherever I want. Working on design projects from my bedroom studio seemed so right but I found that without the energy and reinforcement of inspired individuals to connect with and collaborate with, I lacked a desire to chase new work and found myself doubting many of my designs. It was time for the next phase.

Whilst still taking on various small design projects I found myself working in bars, pubs and restaurants to earn a few extra dollars. The hospitality industry is yet another industry that goes against what’s considered normal work but an industry where there’s such a strong sense of community, creativity and dedication. A sound building block in understanding people and the importance of creating something that makes people smile. I have found myself heavily immersed in this industry for the last 15 years of my life, along the way developing a love affair with all that is handcrafted – locally made craft beer being one of them.

As it turns out, for the last 3 years I’ve been running 3 Ravens brewery, taking care of their operations as well as the operations of Mash Brewing, our sister brewery in the Swan Valley WA. With our team growing out of our downstairs office and with a uninhabited office space upstairs (which replicated exactly what I’d always stood against) it was time to start working on CoBrew, a concept that I’d been brewing for quite some time. Knowing that the Darebin area hosts the largest number of creatives that work from home, it was time to build a local creative co-working community. One that I have always wanted to work in. A spacecraft for like-minded people to connect, inspire, collaborate and grow. A place where there are no rules. A place to work differently.

How The Funds Will Be Used

                    


If you saw the state of the space before hand you’d understand the magnitude of work that’s been needed to even get it to the stage we’re at now. Previously the epitome of a conventional 90s corporate workplace, fully optioned with flouro lighting, partitioned cubicles, bad carpet, low ceilings and no natural light or soul, it was the polar opposite of who we are and what we’re about. We’ve had to strip it right back and start fresh. Our aim, to create the most enjoyable workspace imaginable.

We want this to be your home away from home. A place that you don’t want to leave, a place that you just can’t wait to get back to. We want to provide you with those creature comforts that make all the difference. 

So far, we’re about half way there but we need your help to fulfill our vision. Pledge now, become a Founding Member and your contribution will go towards the following:
- Fun and futuristic interior design and fit-out
- IT systems, including fast internet and easily accessible power and
  ethernet points
- Furnishing, including ergonomic chairs, large private and communal desks
  and chill-out zones
- Dynamic meeting rooms and boardroom
- User-friendly workshop spaces
- Kitchen fit out, including draught beer system, commercial coffee machine
  and other kitchen appliances
- Secure storage
- Software systems for ease of connectivity and productivity
- Security systems
Plus much more.

Were not just asking for your help, we want you to join our community, be with us from the start and become a founding member of CoBrew.

Sign up to our mailing list, follow us on facebook, instagram and twitter and keep up to date with the latest as we build the space.

Feel free to come and visit anytime if you'd like to check us out.
