10 Best Breweries and Beer Places in Docklands

"The Colonial Brewing Co in Port Melbourne is a favourite spot for many a Melburnian beer fan. With a robust selection of regular beers on tap, the coming and going of each season brings new project brews to add to their offerings. Coupled with a tasty bar food menu that features wing and burgers, this is a beer mecca worth visiting."

"From humble beginnings in a backyard on Henry Street, this tiny artisan microbrewery in Kensington hand crafts a tasty range of beers and ales. With five core beers always available, the guys at Henry Street add to their line up throughout the year with seasonal and one-off brews that come from the beer epiphanies that strike the brewers in the house. The Brewery Bar at 5/38 Barrett Street, Kensington is open regularly."

"Notable for being Australia’s first female owned and operated brewery, the Two Birds Nest in Spotswood is home to their brewery and tasting room. Staple brews include their first and most popular beer, ‘Golden’ and the seasonal pour, ‘Stout’. Stop by for one, or make it a session and order something from the food menu that’s designed to complement the brews."

"Sam and Duncan first met while working at wineries in New Zealand and it’s there they hatched their idea for Hop Nation Brewing Co. Housed in a huge 130-year-old warehouse in Footscray, the red brick and wall murals create a relaxed vibe to sip the day away on one of their four core beers, like ‘The Fiend’, an Australian IPA that’s Aussie to the core. Keep an eye on their limited release beers too."

"The Moon Dog Brewery comes with a rags-to-riches story about how owners Jake, Josh and Karl opened their Abbotsford micro-brewery with a fistful of coins and a bucketful of determination. Now a household name in the craft beer scene and with changed fortunes under their belt, they haven’t forgotten their roots. Comfy couches and ramshackle style seating provide a chilled vibe in their warehouse pub to harbor a bottle of their Love Tap lager, Old Mate pale ale and Mack Daddy dark ale."

"The modern architecture of the Islamic Museum of Australia is quite striking, but the exhibitions inside are also presented in an engaging and contemporary way. Some of the museum is dedicated to immigration and tells fascination stories of Muslims who came to Australia, including the Afghan cameleers and Malay pearlers. But there’s also a lot on display that shows the wonders of the Islamic culture, including architecture, art, and textiles."

"Owned by Stan Yarramunua, Art Yarramunua Gallery in St Kilda is one of the finest Aboriginal art galleries in Melbourne. This impressive space houses a collection of art by Aboriginal artists, with many painted by Stan himself and others purchased from his ancestors from Australia’s Central Desert region. As such, everything housed within this gallery’s walls is 100% authentic, making the gallery a true celebration of modern indigenous artistry."
