Gales Brewery

Gales Brewery sits on Gale Street in Brunswick East, in Melbourne's vibrant and eclectic inner north. A craft brewery, it's earned a near-flawless reputation — combining quality, house-brewed beer with a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere, the kind of characterful spot that's become a genuine favourite among the city's craft-beer lovers.

The appeal is that combination of quality, creative craft beer brewed on-site, a relaxed and characterful atmosphere and a convenient Brunswick East location, ideal for a tasting, drinks with friends or a casual afternoon or evening. There's something special about drinking beer right where it's made, and the near-perfect feedback speaks to a brewery getting both the beer and the experience genuinely right.

A 4.9 rating from more than 190 reviews is an excellent result and a strong endorsement. The beer range, any food, opening hours and any events vary, and a popular brewery fills up on weekends, so it's worth checking current details before you go — though for a quality craft beer in a relaxed, characterful setting, it's often just a matter of dropping in and seeing what's on tap at Brunswick East.
