You've taken the Manly ferry a hundred times. Now every crossing can give something back.

Felons Brewing Co. has come aboard Manly Fast Ferry, bringing a full range of Australian-made beers to the Sydney to Manly service. Better still, every can of Felons' Japanese Rice Lager sold onboard contributes to the brewery's Seabin partnership, which has already removed more than 25,000 pieces of plastic and microplastics from Sydney Harbour.

The Can That's Making a Difference

Brewed with jasmine rice and barley, the Japanese Rice Lager was developed specifically for Manly and makes its debut in canned format right here onboard. It's clean, crisp and purposeful, and it's now yours to enjoy on one of Sydney's most beloved waterway routes.

The full Felons lineup is available onboard: Crisp Lager, Australian Pale Ale, Galaxy Haze, Crisp Light and Jinga Ginger Beer. Prefer something alcohol-free? Hiatus non-alcoholic lager is there for you. Round it out with Ester Spirits Aperitivo Spritz, Papa Salt Paloma, SomeWhen Wines and CopperTree Farms Beef Chips.

Raise a Can: Launch Special

To celebrate the launch, all Felons beers are $6 onboard from Monday 10 August to Sunday 16 August. A cold one at a great price, with a clear conscience.

"The journey to Manly is one of Sydney's great ferry experiences, enjoyed by locals and visitors every day," says Neil Ellsmere, chief operating officer of NRMA Marine. "Partnering with Felons enhances that experience with quality Australian products while supporting an initiative that helps protect the harbour itself. We're proud to be the first place passengers can purchase Felons' Japanese Rice Lager in cans."

Deep Roots at Manly Wharf

The partnership runs deeper than the journey across the harbour. Since opening at Manly Wharf in October 2024, Felons has contributed more than $150,000 to local charities and community organisations, donated over 6,500 cans to community events and supported LocalKind Northern Beaches, Bold & Beautiful Swim, Manly Surf Life Saving Club and Seabin.

"Manly is a place where people have a genuine connection to the harbour, whether they're commuting, catching up with friends or spending the weekend by the water," says Dean Romeo, brand director of Felons Brewing Co. "This partnership comes at a defining moment for us as we prepare to brew our very first beers from our new state-of-the-art brewery at Manly Wharf. Every can of our Japanese Rice Lager supports our partnership with Seabin, making it an easy way to give back to the harbour that brings us all together."

Soon you'll crack a Felons at Circular Quay and arrive at the place it was brewed. Harbour views, great beer and a cleaner waterway, all on the one trip.
