Five Barrel Brewing is a family-owned and operated brewery in the Illawarra. We established ourselves in 2015 with only eight taps and a small taproom. Since then we focused on producing the best quality beer and building a great reputation for it. With sixteen rotating taps in our taproom, our head brewers are always inventing and perfecting new flavour combinations so everyone can find their favourite.
Our brewing process is focused on sustainability and supporting local businesses. We believe in fresh craft beer, unfiltered, unpasteurised and with great quality ingredients. From Hazy IPA to Milk Stout, we create something for everyone.
Along with expertly brewed beer, their taproom features our Five Barrel Food Truck. With a huge range of burgers with gluten-free and vegetarian options. Check out their menu online here.
Five Barrel Brewing has a food truck serving a massive range of delicious burgers, available every Thursday to Saturday at 12-7:45 pm and Sunday at 12-4:45 pm. The range varies from plain to fancy and includes vegetarian options. They also have fries and chicken wings available.
They also run a $10 Spicy Chicken Burger Thursdays special served with chips (pictured above). This burger has achieved legendary status and is worth drooling over that’s for sure!
