4 Pines Brewing Company

The 4 Pines Brewing Company is an Australian craft brewery and hospitality business based on the Northern Beaches of Sydney.

History
First established in 2008 as a 5hL brewpub in Manly, New South Wales the company opened a new brewing facility in Brookvale in 2011 with a 50hL brewhouse, bottling line, and bar. The company's name refers to the removal of four pine trees to install a machine gun during the Second World War.

In 2017, 4 Pines Brewing Company was purchased by AB InBev through its venture capital arm, ZX Ventures. This allowed the company to use the brewing and distribution network of Carlton & United Breweries (CUB) which was acquired by AB InBev in 2016.

In 2019, CUB confirmed that 4 Pines Brewing Company would be included in the sale of CUB to Asahi Breweries.

In addition to its wholesale brewing activities, 4 Pines has a significant hospitality business. As of August 2020 there are a total of ten permanent 4 Pines branded bars across New South Wales, Victoria, and Queensland in addition to pop-up bars at Docklands Stadium and the Sydney Cricket Ground.
