Red Dog Brewery was born out of a desire to turn a hobby into a commercial venture and to fill what Mr Woods said was a void in the local dining market.
“I wanted a craft brewery in town and no-one had bothered to do it so I thought I’d better do it myself; I thought it was long overdue,” he said.
“So I hooked in and got it through.”
Mr Woods, a Mackay local “born and bred”, said a signature brew would be an amber ale in a nod to the beer’s branding that taps into the theme of hardworking and Aussie.
