a bit about us

RUSSELL SIMMONS

Russell and Jen became the proud new owners of Ballarat Home Brew in June 2016.
Russell says “I am a dedicated home brewer and long term customer of Averil, Roger and Wayne since they established in 2000. The opportunity to take over the iconic shop in beautiful Ballarat was irresistible, so here I am!”
When Russell is not busy in the shop he is happiest on his bicycle, stretching ridiculous speed and distance limits.
Jen is mostly involved behind the scenes but can often be found in store on Saturdays.
