About Us – All Fun, No Fuss 🍻
We’re Saul and Sheree Sullivan—cheesemakers turned brewers, passionate about good food, great drinks, and bringing people together.
When we were given the chance to rebuild the fire ravaged Grumpy’s Brewhaus, we had to really soul search. It was a massive, life-changing project, and after many late-night discussions, we finally landed on our answer: “Yes, let’s do it.” Why? Because it will be fun.”
And what a ride it’s been—hard work, exhilarating, exhausting, and fun. We’ve poured our hearts into creating a place where family and friends can gather, celebrate life’s moments, and share incredible food and drinks in a relaxed, welcoming setting. No fuss, just good times...
Why Grünthal?
When it came time to name our venue, we noticed the signs at both ends of town: “Verdun formerly Grünthal.” Our curiosity led us to discover that Grünthal was the original name of Verdun, given by Prussian settlers seeking safe lands and greener pastures. Grünthal means “Green Valley” in German, and we loved the connection—it felt like the perfect fit.
Being Australian, we pronounce it the Aussie way: GRUN-THALL.
So come and soak up the atmosphere, enjoy a drink, share some food, and get gruntled with Grünthal. We hope you have as much fun here as we do.
