In this episode of Peninsula Picks, we crack open a great conversation with Richard Jeffers, the passionate founder of 2 Bays Brewing Co. in Dromana. Richard shares the story behind launching one of Australia’s leading gluten-free craft breweries, and how a personal health diagnosis led to a bold new business idea.

After being diagnosed with coeliac disease, Richard realised how few options existed for gluten-free beer lovers. What began as a challenge quickly became a calling: to brew delicious, craft-quality beer that everyone can enjoy, without compromise.

We chat about:

  • Richard’s journey from coeliac diagnosis to brewing entrepreneur

  • The early days of building 2 Bays and finding the right recipes

  • Why the Mornington Peninsula was the perfect place to launch

  • How 2 Bays is reshaping perceptions around gluten-free beer

  • The growth of the craft beer scene and the power of community

Whether you're a beer enthusiast or just love a good local founder story, this episode is full of flavour and inspiration.

Guest: Richard Jeffers, Founder of 2 Bays Brewing Co.
