Kinda wonder why traditional Belgian style beers will be the focus?

I play baseball with the guy that is going to manage the place. Super stoked (hopefully get a tour )

Edit: He posted this to his Facebook feed the other day (along with a bunch of other photos, but who cares about the kitchen )

Guessing the name is some kind of reference to ships?

Bring it on!

On account of DELICIOUSNESS.

There's another Hunter onsite brewery, around Pokolbin or somewhere. This is good stuff though, hope it attracts more people into Newcastle. Must pop in next time I'm visiting the folks.

Is the one you're thinking of Lovedale Brewery at Hunter Valley Crowne Plaza? Used to the be the Schwartz Brewery in Sydney on account of Dr Schwartz owning the Crowne Plaza

Nope Hunter Beer Co in Nulkaba.

There is this one at Potters Tavern and the lovedale brewery at Crowne Plaza.

The Rydges hotel down in World Square must be owned by Crowne as they serve all of those beers. I had the lager at Bitter and Twisted and it was great. The pale is ok.

Hunter Beer Co have some great drops and they are generous with tasting sessions

I live 2 mins walk from the new foghorn brewery.... can't wait for it to open!!! so good to see all these new places opening around town

 

[Moad]

it was only a matter of time, I won't be surprised if more pop up this year (living in hope). Good on Shawn for having a crack, I hope it is successful

 

[Dazzbrew]

Im sure it will be and I too am looking forward to it.
