All the brewing action happens on site out the back. Try the tasting paddles. They have basic beer snacks available to purchase and filtered water to cleanse your palate between tastes. They also have coffee by common ground roasters and a merchandise area! Come check it out! x

I have had some of their beers before, namely because I wandered into a bottle shop, but it was great to actually visit the brewery itself. Yeah, the beers are pretty awesome, and the service wasn't bad at all. It may be a bit of a trek to get to, but it is definitely worth it.

I tried the sparkling shiraz and it was simply wonderful! They serve a small selection of wine, cider and beer - you don't need lot's of options of they're really good choices - as well as simple snacks but nothing from a kitchen or any food off a menu. It's the perfect place to come for a relaxing drink by the water when visiting Goolwa. I suggest planning your next move if you need lunch or dinner though. they charged $10 entry on NYE to view the fireworks from here.

I am very sorry to say that I am not a fan of the brews here at Gulf Brewery…read more My bf and I stumbled across the tasting rooms as we were strolling through Hahndorf for my bday. I am quite a craft beer fan, so we thought we'd give their tasting paddle a go despite not having had lunch yet. We chose the 6 beer option for $9, although they also have 10 beers for $13. Holy raw alcohol Batman! Sadly these brews are not appealing at all, particularly the lighter ones. Which explains why I'd never heard of them. The stout is okay and the smoked beer quite unique, although maybe too ham-esque to have a whole pint. I'd prefer the Barossa Valley Smoked. All in all, unfortunately the room has little charm, apart from the staff who were lovely, I'd definitely give this a miss next time. A shame, because a good brewery would do well here.

So, it took a while to get here, namely because most times I went past it was closed, but one Sunday afternoon I was fortunate enough to discover that it was open. Well, we ended up getting a tasting paddle, and I do admit that the beers were actually pretty good. It's a rather small time operation, and can be difficult to find, but it is definitely worth checking out.

Their tap house and kitchen makes delicious gourmet pub foods including wood oven pizzas, burgers and salads. But it is the setting that brings you here. I chose this place for my 25th birthday lunch amidst a wine tour and we were all impressed. The bright, rustic, unique and trendy interior brings a young crowd interested in boutique beers and local wines. The ales are refreshing and not too much and have won numerous awards around the country for taste and design. The wine cellar is small and rustic, but hey - you're here for the beer and the socialising!!

They produce around 5 beers - an indian pale ale, dark ale, lager, a new cider and their flagship Vale Ale. They are all very drinkable...and can be sampled in a paddle featuring small measures of them. Also available are the traditional pints, handles and stubbies for takeaway. The food served at cellar door is fantastic, a favourite side is always the Duck Fat Chips.... something very special. They are all reasonably priced for the area. They is plenty of parking here, but on busy periods its gets quickly filled up. There is an ample beer garden with some outdoor seats. A very nice place to visit after a few wines of just on its own!

Still, they make some pretty awesome craft beers, and I have not problems whatsoever going and having a drink at the pub, or at least the ones that have their beers on tap (and having a massive brewer at their back means that there are a few). So, I ended up at their brewery with my friend and yeah, it was pretty awesome. Not only did they have some great beers on tap, but there was some other quirks as well, including a barbers shop, which honestly, is something that I have never seen in a brewery before. Yeah, definitely worth checking out.
