Carlton Brewhouse

The home of Carlton Draught, Carlton Brewhouse boasts a fantastic beer garden to enjoy brewery fresh beer, a great pub feed as well as memorable experiences with friends. There’s plenty of tables available in our beer hall, in our sunny beer garden, or in front of our giant 12-foot screen to watch every game of the AFL live & loud! We’ve got 10 draught taps pouring all your favourite CUB beers, as well as wine by the glass and classic spirits. Of course, it wouldn’t be a visit to Carlton Brewhouse without a brewery fresh pint of unpasteurised Carlton Draught straight from the tank. If you’re a Carlton Draught diehard, we’ve got plenty of merch in venue from all your favourite CUB brands including VB, Carlton Dry and Melbourne Bitter. Our bottleshop is open Tuesday to Sunday from 11am and is stocked to the brim with bottles of CUB beer and cider. Carlton Brewhouse encourages you to enjoy responsibly.

James energy made the Brewery tour a fun experience though the highlight was definitely getting back to taste the beautiful food matched with Carlton beers. All the staff made it a memorable visit.

This brewery was well worth a visit. We went to sample a couple of beers and ended up staying all evening. Good atmosphere, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Pizza is available from a caravan outside and the range of craft beers is excellent.

For a non-alcoholic alternative we craft exquisite mocktails suited to your taste.

We had the most amazing celebration in the upstairs function room with a trendy „Speakeasy“ feel. You have your own private, self contained space, with the added bonus of access to the downstairs cocktail bar. Everything was PERFECT. Planning ran super smooth with Michael. Every question answered and lots of services offered (screens for slide show, sound system for your own play list, juke box). Absolutely brilliant set up for any function of 40-60 people. Used the bar tab option with tap beers/ciders, selection of wine/sparkling. Guests of various ages were all raving about every detail. We catered ourselves with grazing platters which worked really well. A massive thank you to the entire team at Polly for looking after everyone so well. We will be recommending you far and wide ????

I received a voucher from my daughter and purchased one for my sister. What can I say. Well worth the experience. I have done so many cooking classes and by far this one was the best. Our chef Walter Trupp was very professional in making sure we were hands on and extremely hospitable. The soufflés, tarts and desserts were restaurant quality but Chef Walters demonstrated them with ease that I could do them at home quiet easily. Walter is very patient, answering all the questions the group had, he made each and every one of us very comfortable and made sure we were always baking something with clear instructions. I would highly recommend Trupp The Chefs Table Cooking School for anyone including adults or teenagers just wanting to develop their culinary skills and anyone travelling to Melbourne to try their hand at one of the classes. I will definitely look into further classes as it was enjoyable and Walter Trupp and his assistant John really made it worthwhile. Thank you so much for a great day of fun of cooking. Will highly recommend corporate team building with these classes as Chef Walter makes sure everyone is involved. Thank you again Walter and John for a day of laughter and fun and great desserts.

Reviewed By seagullrob - Scarborough, Australia

We had a nice time at this suburban Melbourne gin distillery, even with COVID restrictions. Staff were exceedingly pleasant. The menu of gins, mixers, mixtures and cocktails was quite mind boggling - who knew there could be such variety!?!? We each had a gin and something and then a gin cocktail. The cocktails were particularly stunning. Quite expensive but it is special.
