Revel Brewing Co Rivermakers

Welcome to Revel Brewing Co Rivermakers, where history and brewing excellence intertwine to create an unforgettable experience for corporate, private, and social events!

Step into our brewery and immerse yourself in the rich heritage of the Commonwealth Acetate of Lime Factory, a historic gem listed on the Queensland Heritage Register. Originally constructed between 1917 and 1920, these buildings hold significant importance due to their association with the war effort and the remarkable achievements of chemist and brewer, Auguste de Bavay.

Auguste de Bavay, a renowned figure in Australia's brewing industry, designed the Acetate of Lime Factory to produce an essential 8% beer during the war. This unique facility played a vital role in Australian self-sufficiency in ammunition manufacture. Recognizing its significance, Auguste de Bavay generously donated the patent to the Commonwealth of Australia and was even awarded the Order of the British Empire by King George V.

The historical journey of the Acetate of Lime Factory didn't end there. From 1943 to 1948, the building served as a Royal Australian Navy base, cementing its place in the nation's military history. Following that, it became a welcoming hostel for British and European immigrants, fostering the multicultural fabric of Australia that thrives today. Later, it housed the renowned Hans Continental Smallgoods business until 2008, leaving the site brimming with stories and memories.

Revel Brewing Co. takes immense pride in preserving this heritage and re-establishing the original brewing purpose within these historic walls.
