Sitting snug on the edge the Myponga wetlands, the Smiling Samoyed Brewery melds into it's natural surroundings. With a raw rustic barn feel, this micro brewery welcomes those with both two and four legs. You'll notice straight away that it's two resident Samoyed's Hoppy & Kent are the true proprietors here. They have full reign and aren't shy at introducing themselves which at first is super cute, until they have their nose pretty much in your lap as you eat your lunch hahaha. The pizzas were awesome with some of the best GF bases we've ever had, whilst the cauliflower popcorn was a great recommendation. All washed down with a paddle of their brew and our nutritional needs were met. My only gripe was that the "barn like vibe" has been allowed to override the fact that this is still a venue catering to needs other than that of their four pawed publicans. The floor was covered in dust and dirt which has been allowed to gather freely over time via the doors and bifolds which no longer closed properly (we were told this was due to wood swelling over the years), these also permitted the cold blustery winter air to enter from all sides. But most disappointing was the state of the outside bathrooms. They resembled those found at a football club, rather than an establishment serving food to paying patrons. Im fine with being submerged into a barnyard brewery experience, but please uphold the basics like cleaning the toilets.

Visited here with the family for lunch on Australia Day. We ordered the Brewery Board, wedges and a salami/olive pizza along with some drinks. Steady stream of customers but not as busy as when we last visited. The Good: - Wedges were a great size and particularly well presented. - Drinks were generous and modestly priced. The Bad: - Chap at the bar cut me off as I was ordering and seemed impatient and annoyed. He was, however, a lot more attentive to younger customers. Go figure. - All food brought out EXCEPT the pizza. We waited almost an hour for that, by which time the rest of our meal was already eaten leaving my youngest lad to scarf it down quickly before our 90minute booking was over. I had to ask a waitress where it was and was told by her a while later that it would be out in 8 minutes. Orders get forgotten; I get that. But just say so. Don't just dismiss it. We watched as others ordering after us, received their pizzas. Might seem trivial, and I don't want to be the grumpy, old man here, but when you're charging 15% surcharge, I'd like to get my entire order delivered in one go. PS. We missed the dogs :^)

The Smiling Samoyed is a very popular place, with exceptionally friendly service, nice food (seasoning on the wedges was delicious!), and great beer (brewed on site). Unfortunately, I had trouble with the online booking, and emailed a week or so before, but never received a reply. We were coming on our way from the other side of Adelaide, so eventually booked for a later lunch at 2 pm. It was great that not only are dogs welcome, they have a 'doggo' section on the Booking Sheet. When we finally got there, there was a long wait on pizzas, and had run out of bread for the beer platter. The beer tasting was well explained, but when I ordered a mixed 6 pack to take away, I received my least favourite of the beers (which I have began to like anyway). The atmosphere is great, and views of the Myponga Reservoir are great.

We had been meaning to visit the Smiling Samoyed Brewery for a long time, so when the Great State Experience popped up, we couldn’t resist. To say we had a great time is a complete understatement. We were blown away by the knowledge, passion and love from the whole team. Maddi did an exceptional job explaining the brewing process, while the rest of the team ensured we didn’t leave hungry with the amazing selection of locally sourced lunch items. The buffalo feta was a particular highlight. And how can I forget the beautiful dogs, we had such a lovely time and will not only return but recommend to friends and family. Thanking the whole team for making our experience so memorable <3.

When we arrived at the Smiling Samoyed Brewery, we were unsure if they were open, but our day took a delightful turn thanks to the kind-hearted worker who allowed us in early for a much-needed coffee. As we stepped inside, we were warmly greeted by Karl, the most adorable and friendly Samoyed, whose presence truly embodied the brewery's name. It all made sense now! The staff member who served us was not only lovely but also made our visit all the more enjoyable. We left with smiles on our faces, grateful for the unexpected experience at the Smiling Samoyed Brewery. It's a place we won't soon forget, thanks to the warm atmosphere and Karl's charming company.

Well this place is so inviting. The grounds have plenty of outdoor seating. There is a playground for the kids. Inside is relaxing as well as extremely visual. The beers ah! You can sample the wonderful range of beers on tap. It’s great as you can select from these samples the beer you most enjoy. I had the golden ale which is a German style. It’s so good and as I’m not a real beer drinker it’s one I could get addicted to.😁 my friend tried the dark ale and said it was very good. There is a menu with a good range. Lovely wood fire inside with plenty of seating for just relaxing or dining. A must!!!
