ask for indie beer

independent brewers

We are passionate about supporting independent. What does that mean? Purchasing and pouring beer made by small business owners just like us. With large multi-nationals still controlling venue taps across the country, we are firm in our belief and support for the small guys producing the beer they love for the people they love (you).

12 taps

constantly rotating

Our 12 taps are constantly rotating, what you see one day may not be there the next. This keeps our offerings exciting, fun and most importantly the beer FRESH. Combined with a fridge that can only be envied, there isn’t a better range in the Central West for you to choose from and thanks to Bert (our friendly canning machine) everything we have on offer is available to you for takeaway until 11pm every day we are open.
