Find FOUND. Subheading
Like Liquor Barons, FOUND. is a brewery that is built on a philosophy of discovery. By blending innovative brewing with authentic, community-focused hospitality in an urban setting, FOUND. Subiaco opened its doors in 2024. This location offers more than just craft beer—it provides an experience rooted in exploration and connection, bringing a regional brew pub experience to the city. We sat down with FOUND.er Steve to talk all things beer.
What is the FOUND. Story? Tell us a bit about how it all began, why you do what you do, and the meaning of the name.
FOUND. began as a shared dream among four passionate individuals from different corners of the craft beer and hospitality industries. The project started in 2015 as an idea slowly taking shape, our story has always been about creating a place where discovery is at the heart of everything. The name FOUND. embodies our philosophy—whether it’s discovering new flavours, building community, or exploring unexpected opportunities, the journey is the point, not the destination. We wanted to create a space where every visitor feels like they’ve uncovered something special.
What sets FOUND. apart from other breweries in the industry?
FOUND. isn’t just a brewery; it’s a philosophy of ongoing discovery. We fuse a regional brewery experience with an urban setting, marrying cutting-edge brewing innovation with authentic community-focused hospitality. Our commitment to culture—both for our team and our guests runs deep.
FOUND. SUPER Hazy is now available on Liquor Barons’ shelves. What makes SUPER special?
SUPER is the beer that embodies FOUND.’s spirit—bold, approachable, and endlessly drinkable. With a soft mouthfeel and vibrant tropical flavours, it bridges the gap between the everyday drinker and the beer enthusiast. SUPER quickly became our flagship brew because it resonates with everyone who tries it, creating that “aha” moment we strive for.
Are there any beers or breweries that inspired you early on?
Absolutely. Breweries like Feral, Little Creatures, and Mountain Goat showed us how bold, uncompromising flavours can define a region’s beer culture. Internationally, pioneers like Firestone Walker and Russian River proved what’s possible when you push boundaries. These trailblazers inspired us to carve our path and innovate while staying true to our roots.
If someone’s new to craft beer, which of your brews should they try first and why?
SUPER is the perfect introduction and truly embodies FOUND. It’s approachable, with enough complexity to intrigue without being overwhelming.
That said, we brew a wide range of styles because we know everyone’s taste is different. Just as you can’t expect everyone to enjoy every wine style, we don’t expect our guests to love every beer we have on tap. What we do aim for is offer something for everyone, you just need to find it.
What’s the wildest thing you’ve put in a beer that actually worked?
We’re pretty simple when it comes to our beer philosophy and generally, we don’t go too wild with unconventional additives. That said, our favourites tend to be seasonal fruits from local suppliers, and WA-grown Yuzu has to be one of our standouts.
