high country breweries 

Did you know that over 70% of Australia's hops are grown and harvested in Victoria's High Country?

Inspired by the beautiful environment, its pristine water, locally-grown hops, and incredible landscapes, High Country brewers are passionate about their craft, and their brews. Check out the taps, tasty menus, and cosy beer gardens that'll give any city craft beer bar a run for their money.

Autumn Ales

Settle in to King River Brewing's leafy courtyard and sample an impressive mix of European beer styles.

Itself the golden colour of autumn, On Point Brewery's Red IPA is zesty, sweet and balanced bitterness in a glass.

Tucked away in the Mitta Valley, Mitta Mitta Brewing Co's relaxed beer garden is the primo spot for an autumn ale.

Celebrate the season with Bright Brewery's new-age Alpine Lager, brewed with mountain water and local hops.

Launched each year at the High Country Hop festival, Bridge Road Brewers' harvest beers celebrate a local hero – the fresh hop.

Set up in an old Workman's Club at the base of Victoria's highest mountain, Mountain Monk Brewers is a welcoming waterhole with 10+ beers at the ready.
