The Grandridge Brewing Company o/a Grand Ridge Brewing - Voluntary Administration

The Grandridge Brewing Company o/a Grand Ridge Brewing, a Victorian craft brewery that has been operating for 35 years, entered voluntary administration on 25 March.

The company employs 10 people and operates a taphouse and restaurant in addition to the brewery.

Administrators Richard Lawrence and Mitchell Ball of Mackay Goodwin cited deferred alcohol excise payments from the pandemic as contributing to Grand Ridge's debt. They are exploring urgent sale options while the business continues to operate, at least for the time being.
