Craft Brewery In Western Victoria

[rossp]

At the microbrewery showcase at Federation Square a few months back, a mate and I got chatting to one of the breweries who were in Western Victoria, somewhere near Lexton / Avoca / Beaufort. The brewery seemed to be owned by a husband and wife team, and they were quite friendly (and had some nice beers!)

I'll be out that way on the coming long weekend and wouldn't mind dropping in if it's open to the public - but I can't remember the name or town they're in. Can anybody help me out?!

Cheers,

Ross

I haven't heard back from them yet, and I'm due to leave to see the in-laws at Lexton an hour ago Unfortunately that means I probably won't be able to go visit them. Oh well, maybe next time. Thanks for the info guys.

I had planned on doing this a few weeks ago for my birthday. Pretty sure you can't visit them as they don't have a "brewery door" (like a cellar door, but beer!). At least the website does not list detail relating to one.

They do need to update their website too as one of their listed 'outlets' is a cafe down the street and no longer stocks it. I asked about it and was told the business changed hands last september and they hadn't stocked it since then.
