SYDNEY | While Sydney’s inner west, and Marrickville in particular has carved out a reputation as being the heart of Sydney’s craft beer scene, there’s a lot going on elsewhere in the city too. Case in point is Sydney’s northern beaches, which is home to a number of fantastic breweries. It might seem like the northern beaches brewing scene is young, and from a modern craft beer perspective it is, but in fact the first brewery in this area was Brookvale Brewing Company, which ran from 1950-57.
Talking about the current brewing scene, and breweries that still exist, it started with 4 Pines, who opened their original Manly brewery in 2008, followed by the likes of Mona Vale’s Modus Operandi, Brookvale’s Nomad and more. Today there’s a lot of exciting and interesting beer being produced in the area, and while you’ll have to use public transport or have a designated driver (or go on an organised pub crawl) to get to all of them, it’s well worth it. There are beers you can’t get anywhere else on offer at the various breweries, ranging from the accessible to the experimental.
