About Us
Who are we?
A quality single batch craft brewery and food venue (that loves coffee, too). Quantum Brewery is set in the iconic historical building, the Old Moruya Cheese Factory built in 1930. After 50 years of private ownership, the Old Cheese Factory is now home to Quantum Brewery. Moruya
Offering more than an experience, you can sit among our beautiful gardens in our stunning outdoor space. Inside the CafeBar, you are surrounded by interesting vintage artifacts and memorabilia. Or take in the amazing views from the mezzanine bar, which looks directly into Quantum Brewery.
It is well worth a visit to see the sympathetic preservation of a locally significant historical building and the blending of the fabulous one-of-a-kind building into the next era. The fusion of the Old Moruya Cheese Factory and the new Quantum Brewery is open to the community for all to enjoy.

Our History
In November 1892, the Moruya Cooperative Butter and Cheese Factory was established with the first factory opened at 38 Hawdon Street in Moruya, taking milk from twelve shareholding farmers. Within months, that number had increased to twenty-six, supplying 800 gallons (3,000L) of milk daily. Thankfully, the unwavering faith of our patrons spurred our remarkable growth. This trust has been the driving force that helped us establish Quantum Brewery and Granitetown Cafe Bar in Moruya as part of continuing our heritage of serving our people.
