Brewing 50 litres at a time, you end up paying approximately half of the amount paid for packaged beer. Everything you need is there on the spot and all the help you need is on hand. Make one of over 200 beers from simple recipes and ingredients, leave the beer there to ferment, go back two three weeks later and bottle it. The bottles and crown caps are there as well. It is environmentally friendly, the glass bottles can be reused many times and reusing also brings the cost down. You can even leave your beer there if you haven't enough room to store it at home. The beer lasts for 12 months if refrigerated and five months if kept at room temperature. Splitting 50 litres with a friend or two is a good way of having beer always on hand but not having so much that you can't use it. Custom labels can be printed making it a great present. One of the benefits of making your own beer is that according to Steve Boag, the mastermind of the brewery, is you can't get a hangover from the beer. There are no articifical colourings or preservatives used in the beer, only natural grains, water and sugars. Name most brands on the market and Steve will give you the recipe - make your own for 50% of the cost.

(Ask for their 'Chain of Fire' merlot, if we hadn't been riding our bicycles I would've asked for a second glass!) Multiple vegan/vegetarian dishes available for those with dietary restrictions. The kale and capsicum pizza in particular was wonderful! The waiting time for orders was a bit all over the place, and 2 members of our group had to wait an especially long time despite having ordered meals first. The place seemed rather busy but as we'd just arrived via bikes, we didn't mind sitting on their outdoor patio. I'm not a beer person, but the machinery and equipment that comes with a brewery are all up for display through tall glass walls as well if you're into the makings of your drinks! One of the more interesting restaurants I've been to!

Well ..... This little Joey D break finds another hidden gem just past the Mountains. This brewery…read morewas fully functional about a hundred years ago ..... but then things slowly changed and it just went to ruin by the strains of time. In recent years a brave and determined team have slowly been working on making this once what it was ...... a great Brewery .... using all local produce, labor and talent. I arrived here using Google map references ...... it was mid week .... mid afternoon ..... never really expecting to try any beers at all ....... what happened made my day ....... a generous guy gave me a personal tour ....... it was quick but was fun as we saw old fashioned machinery mixed with modern bits and pieces. Beer tasting would have pushed this very new friendship over the edge ..... instead I opted to buy a mixed dozen of their current brews ....... I couldn't stop smiling ..... Joey D ...... very happy !! Weekends would be highly recommended ...... and a side note ..... extensions to outside areas ...... new eatery and new accommodation are on the drawing board ..... coming soon ...... and very much something to look forward to. I can't wait to come back and see how things have changed !!

I sort of stumbled upon this place as I was making my way back into Sydney from a rather long hike…read more I had decided to jump off the bus for a beer, and then found this rather nice place tucked away behind the pub. It turns out, as tends to be the case with most of these small breweries, that the beer, well, was pretty awesome. In fact, they have a number of different ones on offer as well. Even though it seems that most of the seating is outside, they also have a pretty nice upstairs area as well, and also a restaurant. This is certainly a place to check out.

Really cool brewery that is only a few months old and just cleaned up at the latest craft beer…read moreawards. You should 1st try the 'kite flyer' cream ale. It's their most popular and came highly recommended by the bar staff who said it 'just flies out the door'. Having said that, all of the beers are quite unique and tasty- got through 6 of the 9 beers on offer and wasn't disappointed at all. Each of their beers has a little description about its background/ where it came- some of which are quite interesting. If you get a chance, read up on the previous tenant- Really cool relaxed and easy going atmosphere, full of older people and has a welcoming feel- which is a nice change to the short skirts, meat heads and delinquents you get this time of night right next door at Mona pub. Also do take aways!! All the food looked great too. I tried the margarita pizza and the chips. Both awesome. In some magical turn of events the chips somehow tasted like those cheese and bacon balls when you eat them with the dip. Something I highly recommend.

Great hangout, cold beers…read more We showed up later, so we were able to find a seat and get quick access to the main bar. We ordered in person but each table has the ability to order directly to the table. The upstairs bar closes early, but the party remained downstairs The pints are served full and cold. The barkeeps are super nice. It is a place that is more mature than the surrounding clubs, so despite being loud and dimly lit, it will not have the rowdiness and strobing light of the youth filled locales. Great for chilling.

Oh, this one, yeah, I wasn't really all that impressed with this pub. Look, I'm not going to give…read moreit a bad rating or anything, but it was rather so so, so I can't give it a good rating either. Okay, they do have craft beers on tap so I'll give it that, but the problem is that after visiting a number of really cool pubs, when you come to this one, you sort of feel that maybe you are missing out on something. Still, it is a pub on my list, and I've now been here. Oh, that's right, it was also pretty crowded, but then again I suspect that is what the pub actually wants.

Look, like a lot of the other breweries about the place, this one was rather nice, it was just a shame that when I went to buy some takeaway, they didn't happen to offer the option of mixing and matching. Still, as a brewery, it wasn't bad, and it is signed pretty well, so it can be easily spotted as well (namely because it happens to be next to a pub). Yeah, the beers were cool, and the service was fine, it just didn't stand out in the way that the other ones had.
