Who are we?

Pirate Life was founded in 2014. After a five-day journey across the Nullarbor Plain, we landed in Adelaide, established a brewery, and spent the following years building a brand. In that time, we’ve gone from three founders to a crew of over one hundred, built four venues across Australia and cemented ourselves as one of the country’s most recognisable craft brands.

Why Work with Us?

We're passionate about the beverages we create and the people we share them with. Our crew and punters are at the heart of everything we do, and that will never change.

We strive to be the best workplace in the industry, both in beer and hospitality, something that's underpinned our business from day one.
