Brewery tours in Sydney
Our Favourite Inner West Breweries
YULLI’S BREWS
Greeks have travelled far and wide, their culture adopted by many, but their biggest gift to the world is the Seabass Lager from Yulli’s Brewery in Alexandria!
Willie The Boatman
Willie The boatman Brewery in St Peters, this is where the magic happens, so where to better to enjoy their tasty brews and meet the team behind them than at their very own tasting room?
Tucked away on Mary Street in St Peters, Sydney, they are always keen to share a beer with friends new and old.
One Drop Brewing Co
One Drop Brewing Co. is inspired by the same foundational ideals of Reggae Music with its signature One Drop beat. The same ideas of community, humanity, one love, free-thinking and unique creative self-expression inspire them. It is what beats within that allows us all to connect to community, freedom, love of life, and love of good times.
One Drop is all about freedom, love and going with the flow; with great tunes, tasty food and amazing beers, all perfect to chill with and take in the vibes.
They love nothing more than welcoming and watching people become part of the One Drop
Wayward Brewery
Wayward Brewery in Camperdown takes us behind the scenes on their brewery tour in one of the most exciting breweries in Sydney.
Wayward craft beer is all about flavour. They source the right ingredients from all over the world and don't rush the result. Sometimes this means their beers take a little longer to produce and they’re okay with that.
Batch Brewery
Batch Brewing Company in Marrickville brews beer the traditional way: hand crafted and batch by batch. They value producing fresh, quality beer for the people in their neighbourhood. Take a browse and see for your self their beer tasting paddles are not to be missed.
The Grifter Brewing Co
Matt, Glenn & Trent started The Grifter Brewery in Marrickville in 2012 with the opportunity to take their homebrews to a wider audience. The production brewery and eclectic tasting bar in the heart of Marrickville have become a stalwart in the Sydney craft brewing scene as they continue to focus on making unique beers that remain highly drinkable.
Young Henrys Brewery
Young Henrys brewery was born in the heart of Newtown in 2012. Turns out people like their beer a lot. Within months they were struggling to meet demand. Doing everything by hand, working seven days a week but they still couldn’t keep up. More tanks were brought in but that didn’t help. So they took the warehouse next door, knocked down the wall and built a brewery big enough to ensure no one will go thirsty again.
Akasha Brewery
At Akasha Brewery in Five Dock they live and breath beer. It's no secret that they love hops and you'll find lots of it in almost every beer they brew. They are also fiercely independent at Akasha which means they don't skimp on quality ingredients, sourced from around the world - ensuring the tastiest, most exciting beer tasting paddles they can make.
Sauce Brewing Co
Incredible beers along with the biggest & best beer garden in Marrickville! We love Sauce Brewing for both our small and large groups.
With more than 12 craft beers on tap and the occasional pizza truck, Sauce Brewing is a pretty epic brewery!
Archie Rose Distilling Co
Join Australia’s best behind the scenes distillery tour with tastings at Archie Rose for $30 per person! A much-loved addition to our Sydney Brewery Tour, you won’t regret adding Archie Rose into your package.
Experience the best whisky cocktails in Sydney.
Maniax Axe Throwing Sydney

Throwing a few axes before hitting the beers is a great way to get rid of a few frustrations, for team building, or to get your group tour off on the right foot! View our activities packages here!
