10 Best Breweries in Fremantle

"More great beer and views to match await scarcely 100 paces away at a craft beer destination in itself: Little Creatures. A craft beer station of the cross, craft beer mecca, the spiritual home of Australian craft beer – call it what you will, you’ll find there’s nothing quite like enjoying a Little Creatures Pale Ale or Hotchkiss Six stout straight from the source. Did we mention the views?"

"Grab lunch and a beer at Little Creatures Brewery. Make your way back to the city to explore Kings Park and Botanic Garden. September hosts the Kings Park Festival to celebrate the beginning of wildflower season. Experience nature, climb the DNA tower, see the mighty Boab tree, and take the Law Walk for panoramic views of Perth."

"Fremantle is home to some of the best craft brews in Western Australia. Here are our favourite spots to sample the best beer Freo has on offer."

"We love bringing people together through food, cider and orchard views. Grab a bite to eat in the Orchard Bistro, Harvest Room or The Green. Vegetarian Options, Gluten Free Options, Accessible Location, Family Friendly, Fully Licensed, Bicycle Rack/Friendly"

"Located behind Hougoumont Hotel on Bannister Street this new brewery is the perfect spot for an afternoon drink in its relaxing little courtyard setting. Open daily from 4pm their beer is fresh and delicious brewed on site by Dan and Geoff Goddard along with plenty of gin and wine options if beer isn’t your style. Make sure to pop in on your next visit and soak in all the good Freo vibes with a drink or ten."

"If the words “free dessert” has your ears pricking up, keep reading. If you order over $25 worth of takeaway at this Hillary’s Italian restaurant then you will receive a complimentary panna cotta."

"If a trip to the supermarket is the last thing you feel like doing then no one will judge you if you just get dinner from this authentic Italian restaurant instead. Situated in West Perth the takeaway menu has everything from arancini to spaghetti with meatballs - bellisimo."

"Any pilgrimage to Fremantle wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the place where it all began. The Sail & Anchor Pub was the place where Phil Sexton and his uni mates turned the former Freemasons' Hotel into a brewpub in the early 1980s and, out the back, brewed the beer widely acknowledged as the first of the contemporary craft beer era: a traditional English ale called Anchor Bitter. They went on to form Matilda Bay Brewing and famously introduced flavours beyond staple lagers to an eager West Australian public while also demonstrating how pubs could be done better – and be made welcoming to women – too."

"While beer is no longer brewed on site, the Sail & Anchor, it is home to cider and ale’s produced by local brewery, Gage Roads. The Sail & Anchor is located opposite the Fremantle Markets in what was once the Freemason’s Hotel, built between 1901 & 1903 and now fully restored. 64 South Terrace, Fremantle"

"Built in 1854, this historic Fremantle landmark helped start the Australian craft-beer movement a couple of decades ago, but the venerable Sail & Anchor has lost some lustre over recent years."

"Located inside the Mercure Hotel Perth on Irwin Street and among the Perth law courts, Beccaria has a sophisticated and intelligent edge, aptly derived from the restaurant’s namesake – innovative Italian criminologist Cesare Beccaria. The venue is spacious and lofty, industrially styled with plush deep purple couches and sandy timber decor amongst a palette of clean grey tones. Beccaria expertly utilizes locally caught seafood and flourishing Western Australian produce in their dishes, as seen in their smoked eggplant mousse served with crispy ciabatta and herb oil; their seared Shark Bay scallops; and their grilled Kimberley Gold Band snapper fillet, charred asparagus, fennel and root vegetable salad with tomato and lemon ragout."

"Floreat Beach is a popular spot for families, with lots of shaded areas, picnic tables, a shaded playground and a café right on the beachfront. Have we tempted you to go on a beach day out?. Tell us if you have a favourite beach that's on (or not on) the list!"

"South Beach is ideal for families, with a playground, lots of shaded areas, walking tracks and even a dog beach. There's also a café on site serving meals and takeaway snacks."

"Port Beach is a metropolitan beach which stretches from Swan River to Leighton Beach. It’s become a destination for those who enjoy water sports. Depending on the day, the beaches turquoise waters are perfect for swimmers, snorkelers and stand-up paddle boarders."
