One thing is for sure, Stomping Ground has definitely improved since they first opened. I first checked them out when they just had opened up, and I couldn't believe it, but I was disappointed. In the beer options and the choice of food available. Nothing said this is a place for craft beer. Lucky thing that since then, the times have changed. Stomping Ground grew up and learned how to 'Walk this Way.' On my most recent visit, I was flabbergasted to look over the menu. Wow now there are food options that are perfect to compliment their tasty beer. And which beer you may think? That's okay, they have two pre-set paddle choices. One for a beer snob, the other for a beer-beginner. Both provide you with a good introduction to the beers of Stomping Ground. It's always been a great space. It's open, there are shared tables and a high ceiling- giving you those industrial feels. There's also bar side, with even more tables under a glass ceiling- it opens up during summer time and is the place to go and enjoy the beer and the atmosphere. And (if this applies to you) there's a play house area for the kiddies to muck around. The owners are the guys who put on GABS -so they know a thing or two about beer. You should also check out their St. Kilda pub, The Local Taphouse. read more

Cool atmosphere. A large selection of great beer. And delicious food. These are what make Stomping Ground Brewing great. My sisters and I came here in the middle of the day for a snack and to quench our thirst. We enjoyed our flights and ordered 2 items to share: meatballs and fries. Both were tasty and they were doing a photoshoot of their food so we were able to see what everything looked like. It all looked drool-worthy. I liked it here so much that I wanted to come back on our trip but sadly we didn't have time. It's off the beaten path but you should definitely check it out. read more

We enjoyed our first night in Melbourne visiting an independent brewery at the Stomping Ground Brewing establishment. The selection of beers and ciders, at least 18, on tap and some great food to accompany the libations. The calamari was very good, even if the portion was smaller than expected, the fresh baked pretzel went well with the beer and the pizzas were very tasty. read more

Stomping Ground Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Collingwood, VIC

It seems as if the modern brewery is literally like a pub. Well, not quite because you also have brewery pubs, which this isn't - this is just a brewery. I have seen Stomping Ground about the place, but to really try what they have to offer you have to come to the brewery. It is actually quite large inside, and even has play equipment (which impressed my friends somewhat). As for the beer, well there is a huge selection, one so large that I really should come back to try some more. read more

I came here in the prime afternoon when it was entirely full of families. It was extremely noisy but thankfully we stayed long enough for some to clear out so we could enjoy our conversations and find open seating. Definitely a bustling atmosphere and one that is kid friendly. With a walk up bar, there is ample selection of beers with good descriptions and ratings. They have a full cocktail bar as well making it an ideal place for any palate. Their food was well presented. I had a bite of a friend's fried halloumi with sliced ham. Delicious! Others had giant salads, sandwiches and platters. This place is ideal for groups and casual catch ups. Do not come here for a romantic evening. It is huge with plants growing and a very rustic feel. Best of all you have a nice beer selection and vibe. Solid. read more

Me: Come to this cool new brewery with me today. They have weird beers. Friend: Weird beers? I'm not interested in beers with too much flavour. Me: You're an idiot. And then off I went to Stomping Ground Brewing, located (kinda) opposite Le Bon Ton, and who shall now be known as the purveyor of weird beers. Important to note, Stomping Ground is not yet complete. They have great plans for decking out the currently very concrete/industrial looking space over the coming months, but it will be great fun to watch this place evolve. As an extremely greedy/thirsty human, I sampled many of the beers including the Aloha Lager (which is described as tasting just like a Hawaiian volcano) and a Peach Tart (a sour ale that was incredibly drinkable.) If you're a fan of beer with a whole lot of flavour, get involved with Stomping Ground Brewing. read more

What a lovely place to hang out and try lots of beer. They also offer a different option to your standard tasting paddle concept where you get to order beer samples which are individually priced, allowing you to include more 'premium' beers if you like. Food is pretty decent, not cheap but done well. Plants and pretty lighting make this place quite a comfortable space even though it retains a strong industrial theme. One thing you must be aware of is that this place is designed to be family friendly - there is a cool cubbyhouse built against one wall and when I was there, lots of kids running around. If this is likely to bug you, maybe pick a time to visit that is later in the evening. If you have little tackers, take them and then watch them have fun whilst you kick back with a tasty brew. Win win. read more

Stomping Ground Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Collingwood, VIC

Really loved our time at Stomping Ground. It's near a ton of other cool places in Collingwood, so if you're looking for a brewery with some tasty food while you're checking out Northside, this is the way to go. The space is huge, but there are barriers up so you can feel like you have some privacy, or you can get a table right in the middle of the fun. Some of the kitchen is viewable from the main room which is a nice touch. Their pizzas definitely get a thumbs up from this New Yorker, though they aren't traditional to what you'd see in the States. I sampled six beers and liked them all. In October, they had a bunch of seasonal brews, but my favorites were the IPA and the barleywine. It's a great place for kids on the weekend and earlier in the day. read more

Standing out the front of Stomping Ground Beer Hall and you have a slight underwhelming feeling that comes over you, because let's face it the building itself is an old warehouse with four walls and a roof. It's what they have done inside that takes your breath away and it's then the realisation of where you are "Utopia" "Beer Utopia". This place is big, really big. Decked out with a nod to the industrial hood that they call home. This place has it all, open kitchen complete with a wood fire pizza oven, long bar place strategically in the centre of the room and a retail area selling beer and hoodies, but it's the brewery looming over the beer hall like a proud father that completes this venue. But, whilst I was super impressed with the fit out, we all know you can dress up a venue anyway you like but if the product and service doesn't meet the same expectation, you just won't come back. So it was to the bar I head to test the waters, I mean beers. The beer menu is as impressive as the venue it lives in and has all tastes covered. So we grabbed our first round and ordered a couple of pizzas and headed into the mix of the crowd. So it was a big tick to the venue, the beer and the food, but what really impressed me was the demographic of the punters. What Stomping Ground has magically managed to do, is not only attract the ever popular beer loving hipster, is the young family unit, and they have done this without turning it into a McDonald's on a Saturday afternoon with five kids parties taking over the dining room. This place truly impressed me and if you love beer you'll also love this place. read more

I loved Stomping Ground! Amazing atmosphere, great music and a delicious selection of beers. There is definitely something for everyone here. Beer not your thing? Try one of their mini cocktails served in a cute little glass hip-flask served with a glass of ice. Stomping Ground has definitely tapped into something attracting a diverse crown but everyone there for the same reason; to enjoy good food, drinks and catch up with friends. We went on a Sunday afternoon and there were many young families there (with kids enjoying the small playground area); and a couple of birthdays. This is definitely somewhere you could settle in for an entire day, sampling a variety unique beers whilst soaking up the atmosphere. The decor is industrial and open - the styling is stunning and very well thought out from the seating, to the foliage, to the fireplace, bar and windows viewing the brewing room. We didn't try the food but I hear the beef cheek burger is not to be missed! As for beers, the Hefe goes down a treat and the Bad Seed is a tart but delightful treat! read more

Great selection of affordable beers from the guys who bought you The Local and GABS. A bunch of solo and collaborative brews that cater for all tastes. There are some very sessionable largers and pale ales, but also a very smooth and tasty beetroot stout and a couple of sours Once the space is finished it will be a fab spot for a local drink. Check it out. read more

Great spot. The Industrial Chic atmosphere is fantastic. They welcome children and dogs. The beer is well refined for a craft brewery and the food is excellent. I recommend a visit or two. read more

Can't fault. Beer - top notch. Food - first class match with the beer. What a terrific place. The only concern is I have taken so long to get here. read more

Fun atmosphere and great beers. Did the sampler to try 6 x100ml then tried a few more.

Probably a good place if you're in your mid-30's and want to be able to go somewhere for a drink with your kids or you need a safe pick for work drinks. Otherwise I'd be no rush to go back. The beers were ok but there are plenty of places with better craft options. read more

This is a great new place! Wonderful atmosphere, kids play area, very friendly service, and great beer! We had the sampler of beer, which came with six beers. All were good, but our favorites were the kolsch, brown and very creamy milk stout. All beers were grrat, though, and quite a range for all tastes. The staff also shared with us some tastes of other beers we might like, and the collaboration with a cherry cider was also very good. Burgers looked good, too, but we didn't try those. Hours are 11:30 until late, so open early than other area breweries. read more

These guys have done an amazing job with the interior of this beer hall. The beer is superb, and there is a good selection to choose from. I recommend the Gipps St. or Grandstand. I've been a few times on a Friday, and the place is buzzing, great as a starter for your Friday night out after work. read more

While on a trip from the US, came to stomping ground brewing for a sampling. We tried the house sampler, and found concurrence on the brown ale, milk stout, and Cherry cider collaboration. Overall, the service was excellent, the beer was terrific, especially considering they have only been open for a few weeks. Plenty of seating for large crowds. For those with young ones, they have an amazing play area for young kids. read more

Definitely worth checking out, food was seriously good and the space is great. The beers is all brewed on site with over 20 taps and a beautiful malt smell hangs in the air. read more

Cool place to stumble across thanks to the Pots and Plants event put on recently. I had no idea this place even existed!

Interesting place. Hard to find the front door initially which is unexpectedly on a side street. The space is cavernous and very beer hall like. It can get noisy. The wine was good but not brilliant. The food we had off the laminated menu was ok but not spectacular. Service was polite and generally efficient. Solid but not spectacular would describe this venue well. It's good but it hits no great heights. read more

Venue looks good, beer was good, coffee was good, average food, shit service - Slow and no smile.
