Choosing a Tasting Experience

Brewing equipment on show, exposed brick and local street art set the scene at Sydney Brewery Surry Hills, the bar at 28 Albion Street where the brewery's first beer was made in 2005. The brewhouse is still working, with brewer Danielle using it for small-batch and limited-release beers. Close to Central station, it is an easy meeting point for a group that wants to learn something before settling in for the afternoon or evening. How a brewery tour here unfolds:

  • A guide takes the group behind the scenes of the working brewhouse
  • Each piece of brewing equipment is explained, along with the ingredients
  • The tour covers how fermentation turns those ingredients into beer
  • It finishes with a tasting of a selection of the brewery's specialty beers
  • The kitchen's pub menu is on hand once the tasting is done

Tours are booked online through the venue's website, and the bar also pours the brewery's ciders and hosts live local music.
