Micro Brewing South Australia

Pete’s experience in brewing and his passion for knowledge is translated to the beer he produces.

Mephisto beers are taste balanced, reliable and have been well received by drinkers and peers. He is one of the new generations of South Australian microbrewers to watch.

I first discovered Mephisto Brewing Company’s story when I ran into Pete Wellington (owner and head brewer) at a beer tasting event in Adelaide’s city. After having just a short conversation with him, I could tell he was going to succeed in his nano brewing business. Cutting his teeth in brewing as a youngster, helping his dad make his home brew, Pete further developed his craft by living in Germany for numerous years; the kingdom of great beer. He likens himself to a German folk tale character, ‘Faust’, who has an unbelievable amount of knowledge and cannot relate to anyone; this is how Pete felt when he was talking to his good mates about beer. His initial beer offerings consist of well-balanced brews, showcasing all of the main ingredients of beer; water, malt, hops and yeast.
