What to do and see in South Australia, Australia: The Best Breweries

We are a micro-brewery operating in a 100 year old wheatstore in the picturesque village of Greenock in the Western Barossa Valley. We produce only 2000 liters at a time of quality artisan beer using the German Purity Law of 1516. Only the four main ingredients of beer making are used - yeast, malt, hops and water. There are no additives or preservatives in our beer.We offer country hospitality.

Little Bang Brewing Company is a Brewery and Tap Room located in Stepney, just minutes from the CBD. We love bringing like-minded people together to taste some of the amazing beers we have on offer, brewed just meters and within full view of our Tap Room. Our extensive range of beers (21 rotating taps of both Little Bang and guest beers), a selection of local wines, Little Bang small batch gins and our own kitchen makes Little Bang the perfect place to enjoy a drink with a unique brewery twist. Open Wednesday to Sunday.

We’re pretty damn serious about making good beer and having some fun here at Shifty Lizard, and we are reasonably reasonable about doing it responsibly. The beer is what brought us here, it’s why we do what we do, but ultimately the fun is what actually matters. It’s central to our branding, our brewery taphouse in Willunga, our team, and in our beer. You can taste in every bottle with new flavours, scents and sensations and eyeball it on our labels and with every new shifty experience or location. You know you want to join us for a good fun beer. Go on.

The Rehn Bier micro-brewery is a must visit for those who love craft beer and have a demand for quality. Utilising traditional brewing methods and a ‘hands on’ approach, every step of the brewing process is taken care of in-house; ensuring full flavoured authentic beer. Brenton Rehn had been home brewing for a number of years before opening a commercial brewery with his wife Robyn in July of 2012. Initially selling at the local farmers market and to a few cafes and bars, demand quickly outgrew capacity and in late 2017 a new brewhouse was commissioned in a commercial shed on Magnolia Street, Tanunda. The wide range of styles all produced on site offers something for everyone, from Pale Ale to Extra Stout, to Belgian style Abbey Ale & Smokey IPA. Seasonal releases add to the range. With 12 taps & a full range of takeaway bottles the Brewhouse Cellar Door is a welcoming & casual spot, ideal for a quiet beer or to catch up with friends. Well behaved pooches are also welcome.

Woolshed Brewery is located in the 100 year old woolshed of Wilkadene Station set on the banks of the stunning Murray River. We offer our range of award winning ales, cider and our infamous Hard Lemonade & Rude Ruby. We also stock a range of premium Riverland wines. For non-drinkers why not have a freshly brewed local Arossto coffee. We also have a range of soft drinks available. Being a 100 year old woolshed we do not have any kitchen facilities in place to offer cooked meals. We do however sell delicious local produce from our self serve area where you can create your own platter. We also encourage our guests to bring out their own picnics or make use of our free bbq facilities. Each weekend we will get in local food trucks to provide meals. Keep an eye out on our socials for updates. Woolshed brewery is open 7 days a week from 11am-5pm. We only close Christmas Day, Boxing day, New years day and good Friday.

The Prancing Pony Brewery is a beer lovers paradise and proudly operates as an Independent Brewery in the Adelaide Hills. At the core of our brewery are our values, Honesty, Integrity, Independence and Community and everything that we do fits this. The brewery is located only four minutes’ drive from the iconic Hahndorf, a historic German settlement 30 minutes’ from Adelaide’s CBD. The Pony Brewshed restaurant is part of the brewery and all brewing processes can be viewed while enjoying a really good craft beer which is normally followed by some seriously delicious food to compliment the beer.

Have you ever wondered how your favourite beer is made? If so, then we suggest taking a walk through the doors of the West End Brewery and exploring a true South Australian icon.
