About these results
Independent craft brewing has boomed across Australia, and Melbourne's breweries pour everything from crisp lagers to hazy IPAs, often straight from the tanks in the taproom. Many welcome families and dogs, and some run tours or food trucks on weekends.
Listings are compiled from each venue's own published information and Google Places data, and ordered by Spot Score — a composite of attributed ratings, review volume, category fit and information freshness, not a firsthand review. Hours-based filters use published opening hours, which are not kitchen or last-order times. Sponsored placements are labelled and never counted in results. Spotted an error? Send a correction.

What are the best breweries in Melbourne?+
The breweries on this page are ordered by Spot Score, which combines attributed Google ratings, review volume, category fit and how recently the details were re-checked against their sources. The highest scorers appear first.
How is the Melbourne breweries ranking decided?+
We blend independent signals — Google star ratings and review counts, popularity, the completeness of available information and freshness — into a single Spot Score out of 100. It is a composite of those signals, not a firsthand review, and it cannot be bought.
Can I filter breweries by suburb or price?+
Yes. Use the filters to narrow by suburb, minimum Google rating, price level, whether a place is open now according to its published hours, and features such as dog-friendly or outdoor seating. A filter only matches venues whose details state that feature.
How many breweries are listed in Melbourne?+
We currently list 16 breweries across Melbourne and surrounding suburbs. Venues are added over time and details are re-checked against their published sources; please confirm hours with the venue before you go.
