Visited this little GEM of a brewery the other day for a Locksmithing conference/meeting and I was pleasantly surprised at their range of beers and the layout of the brewery. I had a Cherry SOUR, apple SOUR and a lager, all were nice. The cherry SOUR was the best one of the lot. Id like to go back again in the future.

I did two tasting flights which at $22 for 4 ponies is good value. There is a cafe across from the taproom if you want food as ...

A very worthwhile visit if you are into breweries and craft beer.

The venue staff were just so nice and were all smiling all night, they really went above and beyond to make the night special for us. The venue is so flexible and it really doesn’t feel like a big effort - it was so easy to trust them and for we’ve try thing to go seamlessly. Highly recommend using Willie for your event.

Hot deals are a brewin'. Head over to Powder Monkey Australia to grab a Black Friday deal on the whole Willie The Boatman range before time runs out. BE RESPONSIBLE, MATEY. DRINK BUT DON’T SINK.
