What are the Top Breweries in Newcastle NSW?

 

GOOD FOLK BREWING

 

Address: 80 Beaumont St Hamilton NSW 2303

Phone: 0493 581 640

 

Good Folk. Good Beer. It's simple, and so is the Good Folk approach to beer. Growing as a dedication to a great mate, this Newcastle brewery started from a shared love of good times, great friendships and craft beer. A family owned and operated business, the brewery promises to deliver great quality craft beer without all the fuss. Tucked away in the heart of one of Newcastle’s liveliest entertainment strips, their modest brewery and brewhouse is all about not taking things too seriously.


The Good Folk brewhouse is open 6-days a week, serving up fresh beer, pizza, bar snacks and good times. Book online, or just drop in for a drink.

 

METHOD BREWING

 

Address: 18 Maitland Rd, Islington, Newcastle

Method Brewing is an independent and locally owned brewery. The Method site was once a home-brew shop, and coincidentally co-founder Sean even worked there! Serendipitous? Maybe, but one thing is for sure – this site is integral to what Method stands for which is making quality, method-driven beer for the Islington and Newcastle locals. We want this place to your second home.
