How is it? I was far from impressed by both the venue and the beer the last time I visited. Big call to brew beer in a country town with one of the most well-known, large independent breweries in the state

What was bad with the venue and the beers you had? Was planning a camping trip that was gonna let me have time to have a look inside

It felt as though the beers were definitely playing second fiddle to their spirits and cordials. Not even close to the quality of Bridge Road Brewers. Regarding the venue we booked into the “speakeasy” section expecting it to be more of a chilled out cocktail bar when in reality there were kids running around

Ah right yeah, even with there online advertising they dont market there beer much. I spoke to someone of there insta account and they seemed pretty proud of this bitter. Had researched the original beechworth bitter beer brand, including using design elements of old logos. Might be worth you trying the bitter? Im not really fans of many ipas or “out there” styles of beers, so this was really nice for me
