One of Melbourne’s top rating attractions, The Carlton Brewhouse serves up a multi-faceted brewery experience for both locals and tourists around town. Overlooking Australia’s largest brewery and the home to some of Australia’s favourite beers including Carlton Draught, Victoria Bitter and Carlton Dry, The Carlton Brewhouse is the ultimate hub for those taking a visit to the legendary Carlton & United Breweries.

The historic Abbotsford location has seen a variety of upgrades recently including ‘Live Music Sundays’ and brand new audio visual elements including historic displays throughout the brewery tour rooms. To top it off, the recent installation of a brewery fresh unpasteurized beer tank is sure to ensure guests can taste the freshest Carlton Draught in the country.

First and foremost, a trip to the Carlton Brewhouse sees punters heading out on a beer expedition, following the River of Beer through which 150,000 litres of fresh beer flows each day. Visitors are given the inside look at 150 years of brewing history as they take in the sheer size of the truly iconic Melbourne facility. A guided Tour & Tasting includes a tour of the brewery with a tasting of six brews from the extensive range and runs for approximately ninety minutes. Guests can also choose the Beer & Food tour that runs for approximately two hours and includes a serving of specially prepared food which is matched perfectly with their fresh, cold beers.

The Carlton Brewhouse is home to its own in-house bar and café, boasting a range of tasty brewery beer and food choices. On tap at the bar are Carlton Draught Unpasteurized Tank Beer, Carlton Dry, Carlton Pale Ale, Carlton Black, Victoria Bitter, Crown Lager, Pure Blonde, Melbourne Bitter, Wild Yak, Pure Blonde Cider, and McCrackens Amber Ale. There are also a selection of wines, soft drinks, teas & coffee available. With friendly bar staff to guide you through their collection of brewery fresh beers, the Carlton Brewhouse is the perfect place to indulge all of your senses. Tasting paddles are also available for those who just simply cannot choose one.

With a delectable café menu available from 11.30am to 3.30pm and for all evening tours, The Carlton Brewhouse is an ideal place for a meal. Baked in their ovens and made with unpasteurised Carlton Draught, the selection of Brewhouse Burgers include the VB Burger, Black Tan Burger, Pure Blonde Garden Burger, Crown Crispy Chicken Burger, Yak American Burger, 4 Cheese Burger, Carlton Draught Pulled Pork Burger, Ahi Tuna Poke Burger and the Salmon Burger. Other pub favourites include Fish’n’Chips and a good ol’ Chicken Parma. Also on the menu are Crispy Calamari, Chicken Wings, Beer Battered Fries, Onion Rings, Salted Pretzels and more. Adding to the already delicious atmosphere at the Carlton Brewhouse is the Bar & Café’s outdoor beer garden.

If it’s a more private function you’re after, The Carton Brewhouse can also cater to your needs. Guests can book exclusive access to the venue, which specialises in weddings, engagements, birthdays and sporting events, as well as corporate conferences and Christmas parties.  With their very own beer garden, a large built-in dance floor, in-house catering, complimentary car parking and of course, all of the options at the Brewhouse bar, this is a truly unique experience.

Ultimately, when it comes to freshly brewed beers and ciders, mouth-watering food and a walk down the Victorian beer memory lane, you can’t come any closer than The Carlton Brewhouse.
