About us
Born on the Sunshine Coast in 2013, this story was crafted by a community of mates, a dream of living your passion, and a celebration of everything great about our Australian culture... The Your Mates story began with two mates, Hep and McGarry, sitting on a blue futon in their makeshift garage bar, chewing the fat about life. Drinking craft beer was a new hobby of theirs, but after a while, they struggled to find a beer brand they could connect with. The challenge was announced and quickly accepted — to search for an independent beer that was non-intimidating for the social beer drinker. In 2014, Hep and McGarry both quit their professional careers to pursue their brewery dream. Starting a brewery without a single dollar in their banks or any experience in beer manufacturing proved to have more challenges than a spoonful of dry Milo. But the boys had something far more valuable... a community of mates willing to lend a hand when times got tough. This mateship, combined with several years of blood, sweat, and beers, took the Your Mates name from a coastal garage operation to one of Australia’s most popular independent beer companies. What started as a two-mate beer operation has grown into a dream team of over 70 legends who embody our core values. Together, we have achieved some huge milestones, from airing on the national TV show Shark Tank to opening up two dining venues on the Sunshine Coast and being voted the 4th most popular beer in Australia. Mateship is still at the core of everything we do. Our mission is to connect more mates in our Aussie communities with every 'cheers mate'.

Pinch me moment. What started as a dream between two mates on a blue futon in their Sunshine Coast garage has grown into one of Queensland's most beloved breweries - and now, we’ve reached another "I can't believe this is happening" milestone. As of October 1st, Your Mates beers and new low-carb Lager will be available at participating Coles Liquor stores across Queensland! At Your Mates, we’ve always believed that it’s not just about the beer - it’s about celebrating mateship. Whether it’s backyard BBQs with family & friends, great chats with good mates, or simply enjoying life’s moments together, our mission has been to bring people closer with every 'cheers mate'. 🍻 Now, with a wider distribution, we’re stoked to extend that ethos even further—connecting more mates, more often. Here’s to making more memories, one cold one at a time! A huge shoutout and special thank you to our incredible Your Mates Sales team for all their hard work and dedication in making this milestone possible! 🙌 We couldn’t have done it without your passion and persistence. A big cheers as well to all the participating #Liquorland, #FirstChoiceLiquor, and #VintageCellars stores across Queensland for helping us bring Your Mates to more communities. Your support means the world to us! Cheers... 🍻

It’s been 12 months of blood, sweat and plenty of beers from our entire team to bring this product to life. Mateship and inclusivity was at the core of this product and we strongly believe that QLD does it better than any other state. Cans should be hitting shelves in bottleshops over the next few weeks. If you enjoy an easy drinking, crisp lager, this definitely won’t disappoint 🍻 Queenslander ☀️
