At Sydney Brewery, we're fortunate to be surrounded by passionate, talented people who bring creativity, dedication and innovation to everything they do. Few embody that spirit more than Danielle McDonald, one of the driving forces behind our brewing team and an invaluable part of the Sydney Brewery family.
That's why we're incredibly proud to celebrate Danielle's nomination in not one, but two categories at the 2026 Beer & Brewer Awards:
Rising Star
People's Choice
These nominations are a fitting recognition of Danielle's contribution to both Sydney Brewery and the wider Australian brewing industry.
Based at our Surry Hills Brewery, Danielle combines technical expertise with a relentless curiosity for her craft. From developing new recipes and refining fan favourites to overseeing day-to-day brewing operations, she brings energy, precision and creativity to every brew.
But what makes Danielle truly special goes beyond her brewing skills. She's a natural leader, a mentor to those around her and someone who consistently raises the bar for what great brewing looks like. Her passion for quality, innovation and community shines through in everything she does.
Over the years, Danielle has become a much-loved member of the Sydney Brewery team, helping shape the beers our customers know and love while contributing to the collaborative culture that makes our breweries such great places to work.
Being recognised by the Beer & Brewer Awards in both the Rising Star and People's Choice categories is a tremendous achievement and a reflection of the impact she has made across the industry.
Danielle, we're incredibly proud of you and grateful to have you representing Sydney Brewery. No matter the outcome, you'll always be a winner in our eyes.
Congratulations on this well-deserved recognition. We'll be cheering you on every step of the way.
