Wandana Brewing Co.

Wandana Brewing Co. is a small-batch brewery and taproom on the outskirts of Mullumbimby, set within the Byron Bay hinterland with views towards Mt Chincogan. The venue combines an on-site brewery with a relaxed beer garden, creating a casual setting for drinks, food and time with friends or family.

Beer is the focus, with fresh brews made on site and served in the taproom. Wandana also offers a broad selection of alternatives, including cocktails, wine, cider, ginger beer and non-alcoholic drinks, making the venue suitable for mixed groups where not everyone drinks beer. The brewery has a distinctive fermentation approach: each tank is fitted with a speaker, and music is played to the beer throughout the brewing process. Different beer styles receive different musical treatments, linking the brewery’s drinks with its lively, music-oriented character.

The beer garden provides outdoor seating and a setting for relaxed afternoons, while DJs contribute to the atmosphere around sunset on selected sessions. An on-site food truck serves gourmet burgers, nachos and other food, giving the taproom a straightforward option for a casual meal alongside the drinks. The food offering suits visitors looking for familiar, generous fare rather than a formal restaurant experience.

Wandana is family-friendly, with a children’s room containing toys, and the venue is also dog-friendly. That combination gives the brewery a broad appeal, from groups meeting for a beer to families looking for an informal outing. The taproom and garden offer space to settle in, while takeaway beer and weekday food service provide a more convenient option for those passing through Mullumbimby.

With its mountain outlook, on-site brewing, music-led fermentation concept and easygoing garden setting, Wandana Brewing Co. brings together craft beer, casual food and entertainment in a venue suited to relaxed social visits.
