The brewery complex was opened on 4th November 1933 by then President of the Municipal Commissioners, W Bartley, to produce the well-known Anchor Beer.

The complex, which comprised the main factory, brew master house, canning line and a warehouse, was capable of producing 450,000 gallons of beer a year. Brewing took place at the main plant where Anchor Point Shopping Centre now stands. Bottled beer was then transported via a wooden conveyor belt across an overhead bridge to the canning line, where IKEA currently stands.
