Well, I was out and about with a friend of mine who was visiting Melbourne, and as I was showing…read morehim some of my favourite places in Richmond, we discovered this place. Well, I have to admit that as a brewery it wasn't too bad, though I do have to admit that I have been to better. Well, the service wasn't too bad, and they did have some nice beers, though I can't necessarily say that they were absolutely fantastic. However, as a place for a beer, and a nice variety at that, this place certainly works.

A new brewery taproom down at Hawthorn with a good range of styles, nice atmosphere and a whole lot…read moreof promise. The staff has made every effort to open early as Hawthorn has beem notoriously thirsty and deserves a second brewery on one of it's main routes. The beers range from lightweight saisons to double IPAs which is casting a big net that time will prove if this is worthy gamble other than going with the styles they feel. It is a great time to come over and also check what the local tastebuds are on as the menu is still changing. The beer styles on offering are all fine and there are no misses although it doesn't show any kind of personal/local signature (yet). Food options range from some locally loved favs (occy & steaks) to pizzas and general small pub grub. The kitchen seems to be doing a good job in terms of ideation, flavor, locality and delivery. Prices are on the mid to high-end mark although this place has yet to prove itself beer or food wise which is not looking very promising to sales or rep. Give it a chance if you're passing through and you must be here at least once if you live/lived in Hawthorn.

However, I do have to admit that I really wasn't all that impressed with the place. In fact, while I did like it, I'm not a huge fan of their beer. Look, it isn't that bad, and it is certainly better than some of the places that I have visited, but with all of the really cool places around here, unfortunately this isn't one of the best.

There are plenty of beers to try - my current favourite is Big Night DIPA, but you can grab a paddle to explore more of the range. If beer isn't your thing, the drinks menu includes natural wine and cocktails, and there is a strong representation of tequila and mezcal, which works in well with the Mexican/South American focus of the kitchen. It all sounds delicious. Overall a great new addition to the area.

In fact it is one of the 'independent' breweries (and I say that in quotes because most of them have been bought up by the big brewers these days). It's a pretty nice place mind you, and of course the beer selection is pretty awesome. There is also plenty of room to sit down at, including an outdoor terrace out the front. Definitely worth making your way down here for some cold ones.

I'm not a beer drinker, but I got a variety I could try on my little tasting paddle. I also loved their special of the day which was a sour beer aged in wine barrels! The food is also delicious and is reasonably priced. The pickles are fresh and there were a mixture of vegetables. The haloumi is just yum and offset by a nice dip. The hot dogs were great. I just wish there was more potato salad! The atmosphere of the place is relaxed, with the rear section near the beer tanks.

Basically I came here to try the bush meat with my folks who were in town - specially the croc, roo and emu meat they have on the menu. At the end we order those as well as the wagyu rump and black cod (a daily special). We realised that the meat might have been dried to reduce the smell of the various bush meat, which affected the taste of the meats - the roo tasted more like beef. Other than that, the black cod was disappointing, such good fish being overcooked is a waste. All in all, would recommend fingerfood and the beer, but never the mains. Cheers

Mountain Goat is the 1st brewery I have been to in Melbourne. This brewery is Richmond based, and…read moreentirely 100% independently owned. And this place left me with high expectations for any other one that I will come across. Only open on Fridays and Wednesday's, I came here for one of their free brewery tours (6:30pm). Did I mention that they are free? Winning! We arrived early, and found a table. I knew exactly what I was coming here for; beer and pizza; such a beautiful combination. Taking advice from the bar-man, we ordered the pizza that had ham on it. Now, because the tour was going to be starting soon, we realized that we wouldn't have had enough time to down our drinks and our pizza. The staff were so kind, and delayed putting our pizza into the oven until we finished our tour. The tour was great! Very informative, you get to learn about their process, and how they go about beer the "goat way". The ham on the pizza was just a tiny bit too salty for my liking, but I won't hold that against them. I'll just self note it to myself to try something different the next time. This place got crowded as the night progressed. We saw some bicyclists come in, and even saw some families here enjoying their pizza. Side note: Their Steam Ale- it's organic!

Head over to Kensington to hang with the locals on Friday nights at Henry St Brewhouse. Like all…read moregood things in Melbourne, this brewery bar is not an obvious stop on the High Street. In fact, I had to inform my friend that lived in the neighbourhood that it existed. He went there immediately and declared he was never leaving. The brewhouse's décor is DIY- with planks of wood fastened together to create benches and a small outdoor 'patio' that pulls into the brewery at the end of the night. (For beer drinkers in the know - if you like Hop Nation, then you'll also love Henry Street.) For the undecided, or the unfamiliar, the bar offers tasting paddles with five samples of your choice of beer for $20. Sadly on the night we visited they had run out of at least three of the beers I was hoping try. But we managed to try everything else on the list, which provided a good intro to the range. (We declared the Monsieur Gray IPA the winner that night.) Local beer is the focus at this bar. So if you're feeling peckish, pull out the phone and order delivery. The drawbacks are that it's only open on a Friday. Plus, like every brewery, it's open and draughty, so dress for the weather. The beer bar (also serving a selection of spirits) is a laid back, unpretentious place to hang with friends. It's not my 'hood, but it was worth the trip to visit friends that do live there. It's a great addition to the Melbourne brewery bar scene.
