Mountain Goat Beer Brewery Cellar Door
Mountain Goat Beer's brewery cellar door is one of the original meccas of craft beer in Australia. The cellar door used to only open to the public once a month, then it became Wednesday & Friday evenings, nowadays it's open to the public Thursday through Sunday making it much easier to fit into a trip to Melbourne.
Mountain Goat Beer's Summer Ale Cans
Mountain Goat was one of the first breweries in the country to start canning their beers. A bold move as at the time cans carried very negative connotations, a result of their association and use in packaging cheap, bland, fizzy lagers. In 2013 Mountain Goat released their first beer in a can, their Summer Ale. The trifecta of trending style, great branding and the cost, space, weight, etc savings of cans saw Mountain Goat's Summer Ale get as yet unseen reach in the beer market.
Mountain Goat Beer's Newtown Brewpub
Mountain Goat opened a brewpub in Sydney in the Inner West suburb of Newtown in October 2020. There are a number of subtle nods to the original brewery cellar door, a Randall allowing chosen beers to be infused with fresh ingredients on their way to the taps and of course pizzas to go with the beers. There's a 1200 litre brewery on site which will eventually churn out brewpub exclusive beers. If beer isn't your thing they also do cocktails and wine.
Mountain Goat Organic Steam Ale
Mountain Goat saw great success with the launch of their Organic Steam Ale in 2009. The fact that it was the first certified organic beer in Australia in conjunction with the choice in style, a light and easy drinking ??? not generally seen in the Australian beer market was very successful. The Organic Steam Ale remains a part of the core range to this day and is now in cans as well as bottles.
