Styx Brewery was established in an old coal testing facility situated in Carrington. The brewery got its name from the creek in Newcastle NSW, which leads to the old gasworks. This creek, known as the River Styx in Greek Mythology, serves as a connection between our world and the underworld. In Greek mythology, one must pay the Ferryman, named Charon, to cross the Styx.
At Styx Brewery, a scientist and a baker joined forces to create some truly remarkable brews for everyone to enjoy. They focus on producing high-quality, small-batch beers using a small 300L system, which they share with the local market. In July 2018, they sold their inaugural keg, which received rave reviews and strong support from the local community.
Currently, Styx Brewery offers two core beers: an IPA and a Pale. However, they are always experimenting and coming up with new, limited release beers. They place great importance on using seasonal ingredients and locally sourced produce for these small-batch brews. Styx Brewery strictly adheres to using only the essentials of beer-making: hops, malt, yeast, and water. They do not include any preservatives or additives in their brews. Overall, Styx Brewery is a laid-back and personable establishment, dedicated to producing exceptional beers for their customers to enjoy.
