## About

Nothing worthwhile comes easily. Taking the familiar road can rob life of its flavour. So at BentSpoke we take a more adventurous route knowing all too well that it will bend a few spokes along the way.
 
BentSpoke Brewing Co is the brainchild of Champion Australian brewer Richard Watkins and Tracy Margrain. On June 6, 2014 BentSpoke threw its doors open in the inner Canberra suburb of Braddon to overwhelming support from the local community. 3000 litres of beer was served in the first week at the single venue.
 
In November of 2016, BentSpoke released its first two packaged beers in cans. This next chapter for BentSpoke is made possible by the new production brewery known as ‘The Cannery’ in the northern Canberra suburb of Mitchell.
 
Richard is Australia’s current longest serving craft brewer starting his career in 1994. With a swag of national and international medals to their name, BentSpoke is firmly cemented in the Australian beer scene. BentSpoke believes in bending the rules of beer and is focused on delivering a world class beer experience.
