PEDAL POWERED BUSINESSES

THE GOOD BREW COMPANY (VIC)

Deano Goodbrew has been selling kombucha for over ten years. While his Brunswick-based business The Good Brew Company ship their products Australia-wide, Deano regularly jumps on his bike to deliver to the inner-north in the most environmentally friendly way possible. When he’s not zooming around town, Deano and his bike can also be spotted at sustainability events across Melbourne.

What is your business?

I have been running a bike-based brew business called The Good Brew Company since 2007. We are now incorporated and brew predominantly medicinal soft drinks like kombucha.

Who are your customers?

We sell our drinks in bottles and kegs to customers in organic supermarkets, cafés, restaurants and at festivals. We also sell all the kits, ingredients and brew equipment you need to brew your own kombucha. We want everyone to be able to brew their own medicine, get healthy and be independent of big pharma and big soft drink!

What type of bikes do you use for your business?

My first bike was a modified ice-cream trike that comes apart and travels easily for mini events all over Victoria. I still use it if I am doing an event that requires a second bike.
