Tell us about your bar:

It’s a community meeting place meets local hangout meets motorcycle enthusiast’s dream meets working brewery. We continually serve unique people and locals down at the brewery – well-behaved dogs are welcome and well-behaved children are tolerated. We’ve used the space for art exhibitions, film and documentary screenings, motorcycle brand launches and festivals. It’s a mash-up eclecticism of people and beer, which we dig.

What’s on the menu?

We brew on-site and rotate between six and nine seasonal and core beers, and a number of guest brews from our friends around the country. We offer some contract brewing and support as much as possible breweries that are gypsy brewing around the scene, like we once were. We appreciate those soon-to-be-beer converts by supplying wine and cider, juice and soda drinks as well. If you like what we do, you can take us home in a two-litre growler bottle. As for food, we support the growing Sydney food truck scene. An ever-changing roster of available foods keeps things interesting. We also support our neighbours and local businesses, offering pizza from a great local joint to cater for as many food types as we can. This month we’ve teamed up with the Annandale Hotel’s chefs to bring a new taste each weekend. This is part of our Love/Live/Local campaign to support local community and business, which will be ongoing throughout the month of April. I suggest a tasting paddle to really get to grips with all our beers, $15.

Care for a drink?

Liquid bread: a fancy name for beer.

Sounds:

Depends what we feel like. We have a great playlist called ‘Dad Rock’ that we all groove to. It’s Aretha Franklin while drinking the Sourpuss Berliner Weisse, Lemmy while drinking the Charmer IRA, Waylon Jennings suits the Midnight Barley Cowboy Hopped Porter, and Talking Heads matches well with the Oatis Oatmeal IPA.

Highlights:

It’s a bar in a brewery. Come check out how beer is made and taste it from paddock to palate.

The bill comes to:

$20 secures you four beers and all the free popcorn you like.
