Our love for craft beer
Starting out as a simple craft beer blog, we were complete beer newbies. Pretty soon after we began brewing our own, and this is where the fun began.
Beer brewing is daunting for a newbie, with tons of information online. From big-batch concentrates that left us with 50 mediocre beers, to tricky 12-step, all-grain recipes that made brewing a rocket-science experiment.
It was then we realised there was a need for simple brewing, in kitchens small and large across the land.

Lockdown launch
Equipped with a fool-proof beer making process, using the “Brew-in-Bag” method, and some home-crafted beer recipes, we launched Bottle Topped in the midst of the first lockdown in Spring 2020.
Since launch, we’ve been on a fantastic journey. Our mission to keep beer brewing fun and simple inspires all of our kits and recipes, and we love to hear feedback from our brewing community to keep us on our toes.

Cue, dad!
Steph’s Dad wanted a new challenge. And we were in need of an additional pair of hands. So we’ve teamed up, and Tim is now head of production and shipment to ensure your beer kit has a smooth journey from door to door.
