What can I say... This place was GREAT!!! Me and my wife have visited a lot of wineries /breweries in our time but this one really stood out for all the right reasons!
Firstly, it was a great location and the interior was really welcoming for all kinds of visitor (there was a mums group sat outside having coffee- which is great to see)
Secondly, the gentleman who served us was worth his weight in gold!!! Having a little taste of the beers with my wife (and our daughter in toe) he spoke to my wife as well as me about all the beers...something she loved! Normally its seen as something 'only the boys do'...so THANK YOU!
Thirdly, make no doubt about it, these guys know their stuff! The beers are SERIOUSLY good and everyone who I spoke too had experience of brewing and knew their art! The guy who we spoke too at the bar had spend 7 years in California brewing (and gave me a few tips to take home).
To conclude, I'd not normally write a lengthy review but these guys are offering REALLY REALLY GOOD beer, expertly crafted from local produce and OUT OF THIS WORLD customer service! I'd give 6...
Read moreI heard about the brewery from a YouTube video and the way this person spoke about the town made me want to visit, I’m so glad we did! After a long drive down the Great Ocean Road we arrived in Forrest and were met with the most friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere. There are blankets available for dining outside (which we did) and plenty of space inside if you prefer. My partner loved the craft beer selection and on a cold, wet, wintery day you can’t pass up the roast! It was a little pricey ($75 for 2) but I would happily spend it again for the quality of food and experience. We later visited again after a terrible experience in Apollo Bay and grabbed coffee for the drive home to Melbourne. Coffee is 10/10 as well and the staff again were so friendly and offered more information for me about the town and options for future stays along the GOR drive! Definitely recommend a stop here, the town is beautiful and the brewery can match the quality of any inner Melbourne dining. Thanks FBC for a...
Read moreOur favourite Brewery in Victoria never disappoints! Once again the service was excellent, with all front-of-house staff attending to our every request with attentive consideration and going above and beyond to ensure we had everything on hand, as we wrangled our three young children, during their dinner service. The meals came out within 15 minutes, all at the same time, and the two Japanese Chefs maning the kitchen delivered some of the best 'pub fare' we've enjoyed in a very long time! 5 Stars for the Chicken Karaage which was unbelievably delicious - the only other time I've had this dish served to this standard, was in a speciality restaurant in Nagoya! Kids wolfed down their pasta and my husband polished off the GF Beef Burger in record time. All meals were faultless, however the 'Creme de la Creme' will always be their signature in-house beers, with their Silvertop Lager leading the pack! If only I had 6...
