Established in the early eighties, the store started out as Homebrew only, which then turned into a Corner Store with Homebrew, known then as Mayfairs Welcome Mart. As the homebrew industry grew, so the grocery side of things decreased, Also growing at the same time was the discount cigarettes and tobacco. To remain competitive in the ever-changing tobacco industry we joined the Tobacco Station Group in 1998. We were the first Tobacco Station in Townsville.

Located on one of Townsvilles busiest roads Ross River Road, meant customers could quickly get their tobacco products and Homebrew at a discounted price, and be on their way. We then looked at the way Homebrew was marketed, and soon realised that everyone s taste buds were different. So rather than trying to sell what we wanted to sell, we put in a range of different products, then contacted different Homebrew stores for recipes, for beers that turned out like the commercial ones. Now with over 130 different beer packs to choose from, it would take someone two and half years to try them all, so we put out our recipe sheet,. to make life a little easier.

Keeping things simple is our philosophy, discounted prices means high turnover, offering people a range to choose from and means no high pressure selling. The most used phrase to describe our store by customers is "I ve just found heaven."

Operating from 6:30am until 7:00pm we have a professional team of drinking consultants, with a combined brewing knowledge of over 40 years, that can give the right advise to make the right beer every time. The most asked question here is not what do you want to buy? it is "What do you drink if you went to a pub?"

With this we can then tailor a beer to suite your individual taste.
