St Andrews Beach Brewery has been awarded the Gold Medal for New Tourism Business at the 2018 Victorian Tourism Awards.

The category of New Tourism Business awards businesses that opened in the 2018 financial year.

“We are absolutely blown away to have been awarded gold medal. This award is great recognition for the tremendous amount of hard work our team has put in over the past 12 months.” said Mr Purchase.
