Brewery's / Decent Places For A Drink In Melb?

[adryargument]

Hey,

Never been to Melb, however i'm flying down for a wedding in the next fortnight and was wondering which pubs / brewery's do people recommend?
I have 12 hours on Friday to make the most of it before i get dragged into the ceremonies, so anything within range of the airport / central city preferred.

The great northern hotel in north Carlton.. Great range of beer both on tap and In the bottle.. Had my engagement party there and the guy sold me on the beer menu instead of wine menu..

Pretty regular topic

City:
Cookie (horrible place in my experience though)
Beer deluxe
Biero
Mrs Parmas

Inner city suburbs:

Great Northern
Bar Fred
Mountain goat



A bit further out:

Local taphouse
True South
Two brothers (I'm not a fan of their beer though)

Other places around that will have a decent range that I've not been to or am super aware of. I've heard Penny Blue is good. http://www.pennyblue.com.au/beer.html

Another vote for Biero. I go there every week either on Wed or Fri. They usually have special beers flowing on Fridays. Last week was 10 taps of Nogne O.
Penny Blue is also quite good, but I've only been there once and it was after a pub crawl during Good Beer Week so my memory is hazy. They have a hand pump for cask ale.

Also mentioned was Mountain Goat Brewery. Not too far from the city and they have their Rye IPA and IIPA pouring at the moment.
Across the road from the Goat is the Royston, who do decent pub food with about 10 odd taps of Aussie craft beer. Another hand pump usually with Holgate Temptress.

A good resource is Crafty Pint

Another vote for mountain goat - when I was last there they had a lovely sour beer on tap.

And for something to eat (like a fantastic pork belly sandwich), try proud mary
