Helios Brewing Company takes its eco-friendly credentials seriously. The beer is not only brewed using solar energy, but the deliveries are made by a solar powered electric Mini cabin MiEV and the bar is aesthetically made from recycled wood.
Even the bar is environmentally sustainable.
With food trucks and live entertainment, Helios aims to become a must-visit attraction. We stopped by on a quiet Sunday afternoon and enjoyed a beer tasting platter and had a good look around. Sarah looked after the bar and had time to praise us the virtues of the various craft brews – all aptly named after Greek gods. And we had the pleasure of showing her our Tesla. Tess is also powered by the sun†

Sarah was impressed by the minimalist interior and clean lines of the Tesla. Unfortunately we couldn’t take her for a ride.
We didn’t drink too much as some beers have quite a kick and someone had to drive home. The brewery has an upstairs area with tables, chairs, kids activities, great artwork and great views of the brew kettles. You really get to know where your beer comes from.

Activities hosted by Helios include a Craft LAB Brunch (Ladies Appreciation of Beer Brunch), a collective of women who share a love of craft beer and crave a deeper knowledge and sense of belonging; monthly trivia nights; and the Heavy Weight Challenge – this is a chance to join a weight loss challenge, and you don’t even need to lose weight!
From their website: “In Greek mythology, Helios is the sun god. Each morning, the rising sun marks Helios’ crossing into the mortal world, driving a chariot drawn by wild horses that only he can control. Helios Brewing Company harnesses the power of the sun to create sustainable craft beer. We are constantly looking for ways to be more efficient with our energy, water and sustainable practices.”
