The Matilda Bay Brewing Company is an Australian brewery. It was the first new brewery opened in Australia since WWII and Australia's first craft brewery. Originating from small batches brewed for the Sail and Anchor hotel in 1984, their main brewery opened in 1989 in a prominent building on the Stirling Highway occupied by Ford Motor Company. The company was purchased by Carlton & United Breweries in the early 1990s (now part of SABMiller).
