Best Craft Breweries in Melbourne

If you’re looking for a craft brewery, Melbourne isn’t a bad place to start. It’s got plenty of them, the only problem is sorting out the goodies from the baddies. Well, you’re in luck because we’ve conveniently done that for you. There’s something exciting and special about drinking something someone lovingly made all in one place. Plus, it’s fresher than anything you can get at a liquor store and you’re supporting your local businesses all at the same time.

These are all venues for people who loooove beer, just like you do, which is why you’re reading this and not working like you should be. So instead of going to your usual local for your next round of drinks, go for something different and make one of these your new locals for a tasty drop to tickle your taste buds.

Explore Melbourne like a Local

The centre of the city, home to many major attractions, and where you should base yourself. My observation of the CBD is that unlike other major cities (like Sydney), almost the entirety of the city feels pedestrian, retail, and safe. Sure, there are businesses in highrise, the ground floor is almost exclusively shops, restaurants and bars, which makes it great (if a little overwhelming) to explore on foot.

See Sights In Melbourne

A city of culture, coffee, colour and contrasts, Melbourne is widely regarded as one of the best all-around cities not only in Australia but on the global stage. It's a city that can be enjoyed over the course of both short and long stays, although prioritising what you're looking to do in such a diverse city can often be a difficult task.

As a frequent contender for the title of "World's Most Liveable City", it's an urban metropolis that still retains something of a small-town feel, with an emphasis on the artistic, quality dining and plenty of historic architecture to explore.
