"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"
