Brothers Nat and Callum Reeves established themselves as the original hopmasters in 2013. Since their first beer (Aftermath Double IPA) single handedly caused a statewide shortage of Simcoe hops, their hop-driven styles and unique branding have seen them grow the brewery and stay 100% family owned.

Shaped by a life alongside the sea, our roots on the Mornington Peninsula keep us grounded in a sense of community and passionate about local produce and vitality.

Our story began years ago - on a quiet coastal road not far from where we are now - with nothing but a desire to create quality beer, a taste for adventure and a healthy appreciation of the good life.

We’re not really ones for rules but we do have a few guiding principles that were born out of respect for our craft and our community: For one, our aim is to create an educational environment that takes people inside the craft beer experience and makes the enjoyment of a fine ale accessible to all. Then of course there is our love for local harvest, fresh produce and bringing the community together in celebration of the good life. Lastly, we’re very serious about not taking ourselves too seriously - enjoy yourself and drink great tasting high-quality beer. simple.

We have been on a journey since 1983, but we are officially back. Back to bring you beautiful hand crafted beer from our new home in the Yarra Valley.

Welcome to Prickly Moses. We’re proudly independent, proudly Australian made, and proud to continue exploring and creating the most delicious beers around from the finest ingredients with the best environmental practices in the industry. Because that’s what you deserve. And it’s what Mother Nature deserves too. We’ll drink to that.
