Ballistic Beer Co

Salisbury

Updated: Aug 09, 2026

BALLISTIC BEER CO CLOSED IN 2026.

Ballistic Beer Co is a cool suburban brewery, set in an old World War II-era shed in the historic, industrial suburb of Salisbury.

The interior is modern industrial with high ceilings and concrete flooring. A massive mural overlooks the polished concrete bar with timber trim, while the cavernous space is filled with picnic-style tables and tall tables with stools overlooking the shiny stainless steel vats.

Head Brewer, Lachy Crothers, is ex-Gage Roads Brewing (WA) and Camden Town Brewery (UK), while owner, David Kitchen, runs a chain of successful homebrew stores. The result is high quality, full-flavoured craft beer. 

Bench type seating at Ballistic Beer Co Salisbury

There’s 12 taps with four mainstays – Australian Psycho IPA, Dirty Word Lager, Pilot Light Table Beer (lower alcohol) and The Grandfather, an English style old ale – while the remaining taps feature cider, experimental brews like Life on the Hedge cold brew brown ale and guest beers such as Currumbin Valley Brewing’s session IPA, The Alley.
