About Gawler River Brewing

Gawler River Brewing sits on Dawkins Road in Gawler River, on Adelaide's northern edge. The brewery makes its own beers on site and serves them with pizzas and platters in a large shed-style hall, on a covered veranda and across landscaped gardens. The indoor hall takes up to 100 guests at regular tables, with fairy lights, big windows and the brewing tanks close by. It can be booked as a shared area, set up cocktail style with wine barrels, or hired as a private indoor area for 50 to 100 guests. Outside, the end of the veranda with blinds and part of the shared lawn suit groups of 50 to 100. The grounds include fire pits, barrels for standing tables and a rustic timber barn used for ceremonies. The brewery hosts birthday parties, baby showers and gender reveals with extended booking times, a spot for a photo wall and a table for presents or cake. Guests can bring their own cake, along with plates and spoons for serving it. Weddings are relaxed rather than exclusive, as the bar and shared areas stay open to the public. Couples can hire the barn and lawn for the ceremony, then take the picnic area or the inside reception area for the meal. Food packages start with grazing boards, garlic paddles, chips and pizzas, and drinks run on a tab set to your budget. Live music, DJs and personal speakers are welcome within the venue's sound limits.

I had no idea Gawler River Brewing existed. Apparently it opened in 2024, but I’ve never seen an ad for it and only heard about it through word of mouth. Maybe I’m in the minority though, because it was very busy on a Sa…
