Just Got Our Brewery Licence

[Eggs]

Further to my previous post, I'd observe that it took me quite a while to find the contact link. I know it is there, right in front of my face, but its a small link, the eye isnt drawn to it. For a second i thought youd left it out!
As food and beer tourists we want to know just a bite about you, your product, and your approach. Then where you are, what we can eat and what else you offer in terms of environment and facilities. Beyond that your website is a joy to explore, but its the facts first. I think you need a condensed front end that realy grabs the tourist, otherwise we'll move on. just my 2c for some constructive observation.

Congratulations to you and your lovely wife, Stephen! I'm hoping some of that brewing mojo you seem to possess rubbed off onto me the other day! I can't wait to knock on your door one day...

It always a great when one of the brewhood turns that corner and becomes a pro. Well done and all the success, and when I'm in the area I'll definately be up for a beer.

Fantastic website and love the labels, but best of all the growlers...Go you good thing.


Cheers!!!

Congrats, I hope I can taste your ales sometime. I like the cut of your jib.

Yes, well done and I really enjoyed browsing your website. Beer labels aside, that video of Bill Bailey was a cracker. I hope to be up north in the spring so will make a visit.

cheers

Yeah, that growler caught my eye too, I would love one! I found them in the states (I assume that's where they came from): http://www.mrbeer.com/product-exec/product...Classic_Growler

Congrats Steve,

One thing your area has been lacking is a brewery.

Cheers
Matt.

Well what a day just kegged our first 50 litre kegs and lo and behold got confirmation of our excise licence approval. So at long last the dream of running a micro craft brewery is a reality. 30 years of home brewing is now reaping it's rewards, thanks to all those generous people who over the last few months have helped to make Dobson's brewery a reality, especially Mark at MHB, and Ross at Craftbrewer and the many contributors to this forum who refrained from flaming my sometimes dumb questions and posts, you are all invited to have a beer on me here if you are passing. Dobson's is at Eastview Estate Kentucky, New England (between Armidale & Tamworth). Having been a winemaker for some time I can say with authority that most winemakers are so far up them selves they could inspect their own tonsils. Brewers on the other hand are exemplified by a generosity of spirit which makes me proud to say I am a brewer. And always will be.

Kind regards
Stephen

The Good Beer Guys - Beer Adventures plan to drop in Stephen. Leaving Mudgee tomorrow for Uralla, looking forward to visiting Dobsons Brewery.

[DarkFaerytale]

good luck!

We called in this afternoon and stayed for dinner.

Have to say this is the best venue we have visited to date. Every brewer travelling the New England Hwy should call in here. This place is the whole package, no contest. Stephen is a brewer/wine maker/distiller with a "very interesting background". Most would have seen some of the work from his previous life at some point..........Cinematography/photograthy/fashion photography/advertising etc. He has been a brewer for thirty odd years and is a graduate in distilling.

His brewery is located in his winery/restaurant which was totally booked tonight. Down a country road with no advertising signage on the road to Kentucky 15K outside of Uralla in the New England Tableland......................WOW!

Yep, i spend a lot of time at Dobsons, Stephen is a mate. His distillery licence has just been granted a few months back and he is producing some great quality spirits (all on Stilldragon equipment ) .

His beers are fantastic and his bar is tops. The restaraunt serves wonderfull meals in a beautiful setting with a great selection of wines from the estate.

And it's all just 1 minute off the highway. :beerbang:


Anyone travelling the New England Highway should really call in for a coffee at least, it's between Uralla and Bendemeer. 6778 7473.
