Pirate Life is partnering with SkyCity Adelaide to build Australia’s first fully functional microbrewery within a casino.
The microbrewery will be a key pillar of a $330 million transformation of The District at SkyCity.
SkyCity Adelaide General Manager, David Christian, said: “The District at SkyCity, featuring the dynamic Pirate Life team, is the final piece of the puzzle at SkyCity Adelaide; creating a vibrant live entertainment space on Level 1 in the current heritage building.
“During the recent closure of the Adelaide Casino, construction projects were able to continue on the expansion and hotel site, as well as within our beautiful heritage building, where The District at SkyCity will come to life on Level 1 later this year.”
Pirate Life was founded in Adelaide in 2014 by Michael Cameron, Jack Cameron and Jared Proudfoot. The immediate success of the business attracted the attention of leading brewers CUB, with Pirate Life joining the CUB family in November 2017, before expanding into a new brewhouse in Port Adelaide last year.
Pirate Life co-founder, Michael Cameron, said: “When we arrived in Adelaide, a big part of our ambition was to create a brewery that resonated with South Australians.
“After establishing Pirate Life in Hindmarsh, followed by the move and expansion in Port Adelaide, the ability to partner with The District at SkyCity as part of their transformation is another fantastic step on the journey. We look forward to sharing the Pirate Life experience with more South Australians, as well as tourists visiting the state.”
The District at SkyCity will feature a mezzanine level, allowing increased capacity for live entertainment, where customers can enjoy Pirate Life beers tailor made for The District at SkyCity.
