Dangerous Ales, based in Milton on the New South Wales South Coast, Australia, is an independent craft brewery founded by Damien “Damo” Martin, a former professional bodyboarder turned chef. Established as part of the transformation of the historic Milton Hotel, the brewery combines culinary precision with a surf-driven, irreverent creative identity. Its beers range from approachable lagers to bold and experimental styles, reflecting Martin’s background in both high-end kitchens and global travel. Through this fusion of brewing, food, and lifestyle, Dangerous Ales has become a distinctive destination within Australia’s craft beer scene.
