Specialties
At Bright Brewery we use fresh mountain water, quality ingredients and craft brewing techniques to brew our MountainCrafted beers.
Located on Great Alpine Road in the heart of Bright, our brewery door is open daily from 11:00am until evening. Discover our flavourful range of craft beers from across 24 taps, all brewed on-site.
Overlooking the river, parks and mountains, Bright Brewery is great for a beer and a bite. You can relax either outside looking over the riverside parkland, or inside at the bar examining the brewing equipment. Or get comfy on one of the couches by the fire, and check your emails using our Free WiFi Hotspot internet service. Kids love the adjacent adventure playground.
Each dish on our menu is great with one of our complex beers. There's also coffee, hot chocolate, local wine, cider and drinks for the kids.
History
Established in 2005.
Bright Brewery was started by Scott Brandon and his late wife Fiona Reddaway, through a love affair for craft beer and the town of Bright, and blossomed into the brewery it is today.
It reflects he great lifestyle here in the High Country, the fact that we love Bright, and we love well-made beer. In building Bright Brewery we united these three passions.
This is the second reincarnation of Bright Brewery. The first Bright Brewery was founded during the Gold Rush in 1876. It won numerous awards and was famous for its Ale, Porter and fruit cordials. It continued until 1916 when it had to close its doors. Now almost 90 years later we brought Bright Brewery back to life.
The size of a micro brewery means we are able to make more specialised beers than the large industrial breweries. We are able to have fun experimenting with different flavors. We are particularly lucky in Bright as we have pristine mountain water and are located in a valley renowned for its hop growing.
