microbreweriesthird edition
Each year, Victoria welcomes more than 5,000
guests to the annual Australian International Beer
Awards and Autumn Beer Festival.
The largest brewer in the country is located here
and the State is home to a growing number of
innovative microbrewers.
Microbrewing is a thriving, niche industry leading
the way in developing innovative, full flavoured,
premium products which cater for the adventurous
tastes of the discerning beer drinker.
The new edition of the Beer Lovers’ Guide to
Victoria’s Microbreweries provides an opportunity
to focus on the rapid development of the brewing
sector and to highlight Victoria’s leading role in
developing new flavours and tastes.
Over twenty breweries are featured, with travel
directions to allow you to explore the range of
boutique breweries in Victoria and learn about the
art of brewing the perfect beer. Many also offer
tours, tastings, accommodation and fine dining.
The specialist microbrewers have mastered age-old
methods using all natural ingredients and I join
them in hoping you will enjoy their range of craft
brews responsibly.
Victoria is the home ofbrewing in Australia.

Microbrewers are also keen toeducate you on the range andflavour characteristics of beer ~
and how to match a finebrew with fine dining.For example, a rich,
full flavoured beer willcomplement either a

They are more fruity than typicalAustralian beers and most imported(high volume brands).Because we get more of the grain fruitcharacters in our beers they aregenerally less hop driven and thereforenot as bitter or harsh, this makesthem great with food.
The beers are not sweet in terms ofresidual sugar but are sweet because we getrichness from the grain during the mashingprocess. We are a microbrewery and not aboutique brewery ~ i.e. our beers are well made,clean and consistent.

So, in late 2001 when Buckley’s Beerswas conceived, it was considered byits founders to have Buckley’s chanceof really making it. A few years onand the Yarra Valley brewery is goingfrom strength to strength.
Making the most of olderequipment and a 15 Hectolitrebrewing length, Buckley’s Beerscreates an exciting range of award-
winning pilsners, ales and the dark, and serious,Buckley’s Bitter.
One philosophy behind the brews is, as thefounders themselves say, ‘Buckley’s is not a beerfor wimps!’ The distinctive bitterness and strengthcan be recognised across the range ~ the full-bodied, well-balanced, hoppy flavours willdefinitely hit the spot.
Add to this the opportunity to observe and assist inthe brewing process (most Saturdays byappointment), not only can you enjoy the brewsbut be involved in their very creation.
Quite seriously, you have Buckley’s chance of notenjoying a session at Buckley’s Beers ~ poor oldWilliam himself would probably like to join you!
The exploits of ‘wild man’ William Buckley, who lived on theBellarine Peninsula early in the 19th century, led to thewell known Australian expression… ‘Buckley’s Chance’,meaning no chance at all.

Our beers are unfiltered, andnaturally carbonated in the bottle, which means it’sreal beer.
