Yellow Pages turned up these. Looks like keeping the list current might be hard work!

There are some doubles / megas / red herrings in the list but I thought it might make a useful source of names nevertheless...

[Thirsty Boy]

Thanks for all the replies guys.

I appreciate the pointers to the various lists/yellow pages/guides etc, but... there is a reason I didn't want to use those. As Wortgames pointed out with what the yellow pages turned up, there are always Duds, missing entries, scams etc etc.

I figures that this site represents a goodly chunk of the beer geeks in the country, if anyone knows about a new brewery, or that an old one has gone belly up or a name change or whatever, it would be US.

Every other list that I know of looks like it requires the brewery to submit their details, so if the brewry doesn't know about the guide... I really have looked around at all the others and they all have big fat holes. The best of them seems to be the Good Beer Directory that MHB posted. Its pretty complete.

I reckon it would be really worthwhile for AHB to have its OWN list, just because we can. With a bit of initial work (that I am sticking my hand up to do) we can have a nice easy to maintain Wikki, fo rall those times you are searching for a brewery to visit in whatever place you are headed.

So keep posting the missing entries, when it gets a little bit fuller, I will transfer it to the Wikki.

Thanks for your help

Thirsty

 

[winkle]

Yeah, yellow pages will list the brewed on premises in with Breweries. (I'm presuming that you don't want them).

Ratebeer doesn't. It's maintained by updates sent through by users such as myself. I must admit I haven't done a lot in that regard in a while now, but others do regularly. I'm curious about the big fat hole though?.. :blink:

Just to echo Kook, Ratebeer has a recent thread regarding new breweries - might be worth while cross referencing http://www.ratebeer.com/forums/topic.asp?T...amp;whichpage=1

Oh well, rate beer might have got better, I'll admit that I didn't look very hard there because last time i looked, its list was far from complete.

At any rate, I have updated everyones contributions and added afew more of my own. I think Victoria is pretty much done ??? At 19 micros we are well in the lead.

Contributions from other states are needed, or Victoria wins....

[kook]

Also to add:

Wildwood Brewery - - - - - - - - - - Siesta Park - - - - - - - - (08) 9755 4381

They had beers under the Occy's name in the Perth Royal Beer Show, so I presume they're still active.


Also, anyone know whether the Old Swan Brewery has started brewing again, or whether it is a permenant decision to cease production?

Anyone ever heard of Brunswick Tavern Brewery? Beerme lists it but I've never seen the beers available anywhere?

 

[Thirsty Boy]

Thanks Kook.

That was great.

WA pulls ahead with 25 to Victoria's 22

This nation's most populous state sadly dragging the chain in third place with only 10 breweries that people think are worth mentioning.

Oh well, I guess they have the opera house to look at

 

[Stuster]

We can brew beer for ourselves luckily, but it is pitiful.

 

[merrick]

Another one for NSW:-

Akuna Brewery (previously The Brewers Den), Mona Vale, Sydney.

[bugwan]

Sad to see some Vic micros closing up in the last year or two.
Three Degrees Bar Brewery in QV packed up long ago, but left the tun for show.
It seems the Gunn Island Brew Bar in Albert Park, stopped brewing to "concentrate on a stronger all round food and beverage offer" :lol:
Sadly, the Rifle Brigade in Bendigo stopped brewing last year after someone offered to buy their gear. The publican told me a while back that the deal later fell through as the kettle/tuns wouldn't fit in the new brewery :blink:
I don't think Boynton's brew any more either? No mention on their website...

Yeah, The Three Clear from 3 degrees was one of my favourites.

3 degrees and Gunn Island were both ALH pubs ultimately owned by fosters. Fosters used them not only as going concerns, but also as development grounds for new brewers and sometimes new beers, much as they used to do with the Redback pub/brewrey (also sadly not brewing anymore)

Unfortunately, when ALH got sold to woolies, well, they weren't too interested in being brewers, so they shut down the brewery ops.

A real pity on a couple of fronts, not only less micros for vic, but those two brewpubs both had female brewers, and lets face it, sometimes the testosterone levels in the brewing community get a little bit overpowering Now they are gone as well. Does anyone know where they are brewing now??

Not to mention of course that blody beautiful brewery that is sitting in the middle of 3 Degrees not making any lovely lovely beers.... just begging for someone to hire it as a seperate concern to the pub.

Maybe if all the melbourne based AHBers chipped in a few bucks a week.... we could start a collective and have our own brewery.

mmmm AHB Lager, AHB Weizen, BIG big brew days, interstate AHB guest brewers, iternational celebrities and eventually we take over Poland.... sorry. got a little excited.

I didn't know about the Rifle Brigade though, thats a pity.
