Mornington Brewery

Built inside a factory once used to manufacture exploding golf balls, the brewery is about a kilometre from the Mornington Racecourse and the same distance from the town itself. It’s a welcome new venue for beer lovers on the Peninsula with the brewing side of operations headed up by Andrew “AG” Gow, whose pedigree includes stints at Mountain Goat, Matilda Bay and 5 Islands in NSW.
Designed to offer beer lovers the chance to enjoy a beer (and wood-fired pizza from the impressive stainless steel oven) while looking out over the tanks in which the beer is made, Mornington Peninsula’s opening salvo was an American Pale Ale, English Brown Ale and Belgian Witbier. A Porter and Cider were lined up to be the first of regular seasonal releases.
As it opened, work was also underway to turn the outdoor area into a beer oasis with the installation of half barrel tables and seating under what will grow into a hop arbor – the final piece of the dream that became a plan that became reality. CRAFTYPINT
