From handcrafted beers and woodfire-roasted feasts, to cruisy family hangouts and hours spent chilling to live beats – it’s always a laidback day at one of our region’s craft breweries.Â
Family-friendly with plenty of wide-open spaces, our breweries are a hub for South West adventure. On their doorsteps, you’ll find world-class surf, towering forests, and endless farmland. Down the road, discover delicious eateries, exceptional wineries and fun-filled attractions for both young and old. And in their backyards, a playground made for everyone.Â
While small kids play on slippery slides, playgrounds and pirate ships, the big kids kick back with beer paddles overflowing with unique southwest brews. From crispy Aussie lagers that make for the perfect fridge-filler, to adventurous American-style IPAs, fruity sours and malty stouts, there’s something for everyone. Accompanied by seasonal dishes, loaded with farm-to-plate veg and plenty of local produce. Â
Our craft breweries offer the best bases for long days, but what we love the most about them is how everyone, from the brewer to the waiter, makes you feel like a local. Sharing stories, pouring pints and having a laugh, they allow you to feel right at home. It’s a vibe we can only explain as the Margaret River brewery effect, and it’s why you should have at least a couple on your must-visit map.Â
With so many local breweries to choose from, it’s worth giving yourself a few days to explore them all. But if you’re short on time, our Cave Trail and Bay Trail will help you get the most out of your afternoon. Make a day of it and book a guided tour with one of our local operators, or head to the Busselton or Margaret River Visitor Centres if you need a hand planning your ideal itinerary.Â
