Brewing is in our blood. Our story begins with our forefather Edmund Resch, whose passion for quality and craftsmanship set the foundation for a brewing tradition that has spanned generations. Today, we proudly carry that legacy forward here in Paddington, crafting beers with the same dedication to honesty, flavour and true Australian character - all be it, on a much smaller scale.
What started with beer has naturally grown into distilling, a new chapter built on the same values that guided Edmund’s work. Whether it’s a fresh brew or a hand-crafted spirit, everything we make is shaped by the Resch family tradition.
WELCOME TO
RESCH FAMILY BREWERS & DISTILLERS!
Welcome to Paddington’s only micro-brewery: a small, vibrant space where tradition meets creativity. We brew a rotating selection of beers exclusively for the Imperial Hotel Paddington and our sister pub in Sydney’s CBD. Each beer is developed using our own recipes, designed to pair perfectly with good food, good company and the everyday rhythm of pub life.
Every now and then, we open Edmund Resch’s original recipe book and bring one of his historical brews back to life as a limited edition. These special releases are a favourite among locals and beer lovers looking for a genuine taste of brewing history.
THE BREWERY
Our passion for flavour doesn’t stop at beer.
The Resch Family Distillery is an extension of our love for local craftsmanship, producing small-batch spirits with character and clarity.
Our growing range includes vodka, gin, rum and whisky.
Our spirit range is either distilled on site in Paddington or at our Barrel House in Mandurrama, with the same hands-on care that defines our beers. Whether enjoyed neat, over ice or mixed into a cocktail, they represent our commitment to quality, craft and community.
