Well, visiting the local brewery was definitely going to be on the cards, especially since I discovered that it was just a short trip from the railway station. Well, that short trip certainly turned out to be for the best because I have to say that this brewery was awesome. Not only did they happen to have some great staff, but the beers were great. In fact, they went beyond great. Yep, this is definitely a place I would recommend checking out.

Only a few months old at time of writing, Napoleone Ciderhouse seemingly sprung up from nowhere -…read moredespite frequent visits to the Valley it simply wasn't on my radar. We were headed to Punt Road Wines to sample some Napoleone Cider, so you can imagine our surprise to find they've spun off with a great place of their own next door. We must have been the last to find out about this place though, as it was packed on a pretty dreary and rainy summer weekday for lunch. We had just eaten (and cursed ourselves for that!) but set up at the bar with a tasting paddle - important to note they do many delicious beers as well as their fantastically crisp and dry ciders. Will become a must-stop for every future trip out to the Valley I'd say!

White Rabbit has a really nice, relaxed, yet fancy vibe. It has a pretty impressive entrance hall- walking past massive beer vats to the right, a wall of wine barrels to the left. There is also an open fireplace to set the mood. I'm no massive beer fan, but I tried the white ale here (because when in Rome?) and I loved it!! I may be converted. The food menu is mainly for grazing, there aren't many substantial meals here. It quietens up around 9:30pm on a Saturday night, but you can always jump next door to Little Creatures! Plenty of gifts, beer and bits and pieces to buy to take home with you.

One thing is for sure, Stomping Ground has definitely improved since they first opened…read more 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.
