Adelaide Bound - What To Do

[ntboozer]

Off to sunny (???) Adelaide for 10 days. Apart from Grumpys are there any other micros worth visiting? Any other suggestions (beer / HB related) would be much appreciated.
Cheers

Only other micro/brewpub is the Port Dock hotel in Pt Adelaide but they are extract-based brews. You may like them however.

The Wheatsheaf in George St. Thebarton has one of the largest ranges available, and the Lion Hotel, Melbourne St., Nth Adelaide has St Arnou beers and Gulf's Fish Tale Pilsner.

There is teh Greenock micro-brewery.

U can stop by the BrewInn Barossa for a beer or 3 - can organise a bit of a tour of the Valley including the Greenock Micro.

I'm going to Adelaide on april 1 and have got the Wheatsheaf booked in for a sat nite visit, grumpy's on sunday arvo, maybe the Lion on sun nite for some of Gulf's Fish Tale Pilsner

Can definitely vouch for the hospitality of Andrew and co at Grumpy's. Get some Biggles Ale into you and check out the food from the wood fired oven. Also gotta do the Barossa , spent 7 weeks there last year, wish I had known about the Greenock Micro then. Get some black pudding or wurst from the Angaston butcher to go with the beer.

there's also the Holdfast Hotel in Glenelg (http://www.holdfasthotel.com.au) that makes a couple of beers and has a decent range of imports behind the bar. When i was there last year they had a passable witbier on.

An adelaide buddy also mentioned these guys:
Lovely Valley Beverage Factory - Microbrewery

It is said that in the 1800's a governor standing on the old track going up the southern hill near the existing causeway on the Myponga Yankalilla road made a comment "What a Lovely Valley" Hence the original name of the area "Lovely Valley".
This information has been passed down through the Page family. We appreciate the old photos and information from Gail and Ian Fowler and John Oldfield, which are displayed at the Lovely Valley Beverage Factory.

The Lovely Valley Beverage Factory is the first Micro Brewery on the Fleurieu Peninsula.
We use Coral Base Spring Water in all our products, which are chemical free.

Our range of Naturally Brewed Beverages include:
Creamy Stout
Milk Stout
Bitter Lager
Fleurieu Bitter

We also have Ginger Beer and Lemon Fizz, which are Non-Alcoholic
Our Coral Base Water is high in natural minerals, such as Magnesium, Calcium and Potassium.
We have received excellent feedback from customers who have noticed an improvement in their well-being, which they have attributed to the Lovely Valley Water

There's a reason Lovely Valley weren't mentioned before.
