Jaz Wearin, founder of Modus Operandi Brewing, put its succinctly: "If there is any advice I can give to someone starting a new brewery it is get ready for a ride! It's capital intensive, it's competitive, it's ever changing. But there is nothing quite like making something from water, malt, hops and yeast that has brought people together for centuries."
Wearin started Modus in Sydney's Northern Beaches in 2014 and finally opened her and husband Grant's Merewether brewery late in 2021. Modus Merewether is capable of producing more than 3million litres of beer annually.
