In 2015, Five Barrel Brewing launched with 8 taps and a modest taproom. Their family mission was to create the highest quality beers with the best produce, sustainably and in partnership with locals. Today, their venue is buzzing and reputation is thriving. Their dedication to fresh craft beer, unfiltered, unpasteurised with great quality ingredients, delivers on the taste buds.
Tasting Paddles allow you to find your ideal match. From Hazy IPA to Fruits, Sours to Milk Stout, they create something for everyone. Many drinks are on offer for non beer lovers too (although if anyone can convert you to beer, it’s Five Barrel Brewing!)
They offer 6 core, much-loved beers on tap PLUS, 10 limited release, rotating tap beers specially crafted from their head brewer. So there is ALWAYS something new and delicious to sample.
