Sobah is more than just a cracking brew—we’re here to change the way Aussies think about drinking. As Australia’s first non-alcoholic craft beer, we’ve built Sobah around a simple but powerful idea: giving you a better choice to stay present, connected, and mindful while still knocking back a top-notch beer. Our founder, Dr. Clinton Schultz, a proud Gamilaraay man and psychologist, has a personal story behind Sobah. After Clinton gave up alcohol in 2014, he didn’t want to give up the taste of a good beer, but he quickly realised there weren’t many options out there. So, Sobah was born—not to tell anyone what to do, but to break down the stigma around socialising sober and bring balance into the mix. It's about connecting, staying true to yourself, and enjoying life’s moments, without the need for booze. Sobah's range of brews are made with native Aussie ingredients (with the exception of Tropical Lager) bringing you flavours that not only taste unreal but also support and promote sustainable agriculture and First Nations culture. We're proud to be a purpose-driven mob that backs local communities, champions sustainability, and helps shift how Australia thinks about drinking—one cold tinnie at a time. Founders and husband-wife team, Dr Clinton Schultz and Lozen McDiarmid brought about Sobah in 2017 as Australia's first non-alcoholic beer brand which became Australia's first dedicated non-alcoholic brewery in 2023 when the couple opened the doors of our new home at Burleigh Heads. Eighteen months later, the not-so-easy decision has been made to return to contract brewing in 2025 and sell the facility at Burleigh Heads. (For more context, please see the The Crafty Pint article link below.) With the current cost of living crisis and many other factors facing the independent beverages industry and hospitality business in Australia, we're taking the path to downsize to protect the company. All options are on the table at present. Any interested parties are asked to contact Clinton directly to discuss. In the meantime, we hope to see you in the brewery and cafe, attending our events and exploring the gallery before we close our doors. https://lnkd.in/gjTwjCCx

About us
Proudly Aboriginal owned and led, Sobah is Australia's first non-alcoholic craft beer company run by husband-wife team Clinton and Lozen Schultz. We're based on beautiful Kombumerri Yugambeh country known as the Gold Coast, Queensland. Sobah is a place with sun and surf where a fresh, crisp drink can be enjoyed without the headache. We were born from a desire for providing a better choice for those who are not drinking for whatever reason at whatever time. Founded by Gamilaroi man and psychologist, Clinton Schultz, Sobah functions from the philosophies of Gamilaraay Lore ‘dhiriya Gamil’ along with other lessons he has been fortunate to learn from Elders from around Australia. These include acting from a position of respecting people, place and the environment; understanding and working towards fulfilling responsibilities to that we are connected to; and, engaging in positive reciprocity. While we’re hard workers, we truly believe we have been privileged in our opportunities thus far and therefore have a responsibility to give back, to share our knowledge and experience, to create opportunities for others, to encourage sustainable and healthy ways of living, and to assist in bringing about positive changes. Sobah is leading a conversation surrounding Australian societal issues with alcohol consumption and breaking down the stigma of socialising sober. We promote healthy lifestyle choices and wellness, social equity, sustainability, raise positive awareness of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture, smash stereotypes, unite people and of course, our beers quench thirst.

As we continue to see the rise of mindful drinking, Sobah is proud to be part of the movement offering Australians better choices when it comes to alcohol-free beverages. In the recent Craft Zero article, "Reasons to Try Non-Alcoholic Beer," they highlight the growing appeal of non-alcoholic options, from better health outcomes to the freedom of enjoying social occasions without the side effects of alcohol. At Sobah, we’re driven by this same philosophy. Our founder, Dr. Clinton Schultz, created Sobah as an answer to the limited alcohol-free options in Australia. Sobah isn’t just about removing alcohol—it’s about shifting how we socialise and breaking the link between alcohol and meaningful connections. We believe that enjoying a great-tasting beer shouldn’t come at the cost of your health, mental well-being, or lifestyle goals. Sobah’s non-alcoholic craft beers, infused with native Australian ingredients, offer a unique, flavourful experience for those who want to stay fully present. Whether you’re prioritising health, taking a break from alcohol, or simply looking for a more thoughtful way to enjoy your social moments, Sobah is here to help you make those choices without compromise. The Craft Zero article is a great reminder of why more people are turning to alcohol-free alternatives—and at Sobah, we’re proud to lead the way in providing premium, non-alcoholic options. Ready to give Sobah a try? You can shop the full Sobah range directly on our website or through trusted partners like Craft Zero. Together, we can reshape the way we think about drinking and continue creating spaces for authentic connection and cultural appreciation—one Sobah brew at a time.

MOVEMBER & MEN'S HEALTH AWARENESS With Movember in full swing, we're shedding light on men’s health—particularly mental health—gains well-deserved attention. At Sobah, we believe that a critical part of that conversation is recognising the link between alcohol and mental health. As highlighted in a Sydney Morning Herald article, “Let’s break the link between alcohol and mental health conversations,” it’s time to challenge the idea that meaningful conversations about mental health must involve alcohol. Sobah is on a mission to offer a better way to socialise—one that doesn’t rely on alcohol to connect or open up. Our non-alcoholic craft beers provide a mindful, culturally connected alternative that allows people to stay fully present in social settings while still enjoying a great brew. Founded by Dr. Clinton Schultz, Sobah was born out of his own journey of re-evaluating alcohol’s role in his life. Sobah isn’t just about what’s in the can; it’s about shifting Australia’s relationship with alcohol and providing an option that aligns with the well-being of self and community. Movember is an important time to reflect on how we care for ourselves and others. Supporting mental health means rethinking how we socialise, and offering alcohol-free options like Sobah is one way to keep the focus on connection and conversation—without the need for alcohol. This Movember, let’s continue to break the stigma and provide meaningful spaces where everyone can feel comfortable sharing their experiences. Choosing to go alco-free is one step toward creating a healthier, more open dialogue about mental health, where we can support each other with clarity and purpose.
