Best Melbourne Breweries

Nestled within Richmond’s industrial precinct is one of best breweries in Melbourne, Mountain Goat Beer. Stepping inside the warehouse visitors will find a working brewery on one side and a laidback bar on the other. With 14 Mountain Goat brews available on tap at any given time, here you’ll find a selection of new and experimental flavours, core favourites and limited releases. Open from Wednesday to Sunday, be sure to try one of their pizzas made from Mountain Goat Pale Ale infused dough.

If you’re looking for a new stomping ground for you and your mates, Australia’s best brewpub, Stomping Ground Brewing Co, will certainly make a lasting impression. With plenty of awards to their name, Stomping Ground is famed by locals for their lasting community experiences and, of course, great beer. At the Collingwood establishment you’ll find a warehouse that’s been converted to a European-inspired beer hall complete with a retractable roof towering over the cosy beer garden. With 30 beers on tap, there’s plenty of things for you to see, do and sip at Stomping Ground.

Under an hour’s drive out of the CBD will land you in Berwick, the home to Thirty Eight O Six Brewing, one of the top Melbourne breweries. Its name which is a nod to the postcode the micro-brewery resides in, is just a small representation of Thirty Eight’s sense of community. Alongside the high quality craft beers, visitors will also be able to find a seasonal menu brought to life by head chef and director Zac Pattison and his passion for locally sourced ingredients.
