Prancing Pony Brewery

If you thought ponies weren't for men, you haven't met this one yet. The Prancing Pony from Adelaide is not a horse with too short legs, but a seasoned brewery.

Kitchen, barn, brewery

At the beginning of this story there is a small mishap. One fateful day, homebrewer Frank overcooked a brew. He wasn't standing in his brewery (which didn't even exist back then), but in his wife's kitchen. Corinna wasn't very enthusiastic about the mess Frank had made for her and promptly threw her husband out of her kitchen. The bewildered brewer had to move to the barn with his sack, pack and brewing pan and continue his brewing project there. Luckily, Frank doesn't hold a grudge and wasn't discouraged by the expulsion. He brewed even more beer in the spacious shed than before and continued to delight friends, family and relatives with his creations. While sticking on the labels, the enthusiastic beer fan daydreamed about his own brewery and already had a name: he knew that his baby should be called Prancing Pony Brewery. While enjoying Frank's beers, everyone else eventually came to the conclusion that Frank absolutely had to share his beer with the world. The idea for the brewery was born and then things started.

Beer with values and no frills

Frank set up shop in Adelaide and opened his first brewery in 2012. Two years later, the Prancing Pony Brewery was bursting at the seams and Frank had to move again. Now you can find Frank and his ponies in Totness, a small town southeast of Adelaide. At the new location, Frank was able to really expand and expand his team of motivated and beer-loving ponies. The brewery values community and prides itself on being an independent, family-oriented business. For Frank, honesty, transparency and integrity are just as important a part of good beer as high-quality raw materials and sophisticated recipes. When it comes to choosing his ingredients, Frank is a traditionalist: he doesn't use any weird ingredients, he relies on the power of hops, malt and yeast. His beers get that certain something extra from special hop varieties, unusual malt or one or two innovative brewing techniques. Despite, or perhaps thanks to, the classic approach, Frank and the ponies have already impressed countless jurors at international competitions and won prestigious awards worldwide. It doesn't always have to be a beer with raspberries, cucumbers or cocoa nibs.
