The brewery was established by local brewer Darryl Trinne and focused on producing small batches of traditionally brewed beer using natural ingredients and classic brewing methods. Inspired by the German brewing heritage of the Barossa Valley, the brewery drew upon the Reinheitsgebot, or German Beer Purity Law of 1516, while also reflecting the district’s long association with quality food and beverage production. The brewery operated from the old Wheat Store building in Greenock, a structure dating from the 1860s that reflected the township’s agricultural origins. Greenock itself was established during the 1850s and became an important service centre for the surrounding farming district. The reuse of the historic grain storage building for brewing linked the modern craft brewery with the town’s rural and commercial history. Barossa Brewing Company produced a range of beers including Bunawunda Blonde, Victorville Ale, Wheat Store Hefeweizen, Greenock Dark Ale and Brunskill Stout. The beers were brewed in relatively small quantities and sold through the brewery tasting room, local hotels and selected outlets within the Barossa region. The nearby Greenock Tavern became closely associated with the brewery and regularly served the beers fresh on tap. The brewery was sold in 2015 with the new owners renaming the brewery to the Greenock Brewers. Many of the original beers brewed are still brewed by the new owners.
