Brewery Profile, Product Range and Tasting Notes Grand Ridge Brewery – Our Story The Grand Ridge Brewery is situated in a small country town in the Gippsland region of Victoria, called Mirboo North. The site was chosen for its exceptional water quality for beer making, given its position on the top of the mountains in the Strzelecki ranges. After extensive product testing to achieve the highest standards in pure beer, Grand Ridge, one of the pioneers in the Australian Craft Beer Industry commenced brewing in June 1989.
