Killer Sprocket

A comedian, a doctor and a rising soccer star are behind a brewing venture that’s ready to make a killer impact on beer’s darker corners.

With a richly malt driven amber ale that represents its creator’s love of the dark and alternative pursuits. Heavy metal brewer, Sean Ryan, is an entrepreneur and brewer by day, and a comedian and podcaster by night. The considerably bearded, self-described “Heavy Metal Jesus”, loves life’s unconventional paths and alternative scenes, from music and entertainment to sports and beer. Along with his wife, Andrea, plus university colleague and Australian women’s soccer rising star, Steph Tanti, the Melbourne based threesome have created Killer Sprocket to combine their passions for beer and business.

The brand name was born during Sean’s previous employment in the insurance industry. He created a sales database with a silly name on the whimsical thought that it may need to be officially registered with the regulatory bodies, ASIC and APRA. Usually, registered databases incur extremely bland and literal names. So Sean called his database ‘the killer sprocket’.

The basic yet fantastically successful database grew to such a point that it did require official registration, hopefully leading to a few confused laughs in various Government offices. Later, the database grew to become an inefficient tool and induced cries from his workplace of how to kill the Killer Sprocket.” (Extracted from Brews News).

Killer Sprocket started out brewing at Southern Bay Brewing but now have roots at their own brewery in Bayswater North.
