The Schwartz Family Company (SFC) has acquired the Rocks Brewing Company, including its production facilities and restaurant/bar in Alexandria. The Brewery will be incorporated into Sydney Brewery’s operations, with the Brewery and restaurant re-branded as Sydney Brewery Alexandria, complementing Sydney Brewery Surry Hills and the Sydney Brewery production facility at Lovedale in the Hunter Valley
. The 20hL Brewhouse Alexandria brewery will be vital for meeting the massive increase in demand for Sydney Brewery beers and ciders according to SFC Director, Dr Jerry Schwartz. Dr Schwartz said that the acquisition of Rocks Brewing Company was a positive move for the industry.
“Last year was a very difficult year for the craft brewing industry, but Sydney Brewery bucked the trend and we have been urgently seeking extra capacity to produce our craft beers,” said Dr Schwartz. Our Sydney Brewery and restaurant in Surry Hills has been very popular and we believe that we can make Sydney Brewery Alexandria similarly popular with locals and visitors."
