Situated an hour from Melbourne in the picturesque Woodend, Holgate Brewhouse is home to some of the best-known craft beers in Australia. A family-run business set in an historic hotel, the venue boasts comfortable accommodation, a beer themed restaurant and a bustling bar. Our recently opened Taproom features 16 taps of limited and special release beer, a bottleshop, brewery experience and function space. Situated in our brand new, state-of-the-art brewery, you can learn about beer and brewing while enjoying tasting paddles of beer you can’t try anywhere else.

Hawkers is a fiercely independent company, and with our unconditional commitment to spreading flavourful beer, we will never stop striving to achieve our goal of converting 100% of the market to drinking better beers.

Hop Nation started out as a pipe dream for us and, like most pipe dreams, testing the waters with a little savings while hanging onto the day jobs was the first goal.

A ton of research, pilot brews and trips to the bank later – we set up the company, came up with a brand and label concept with some friends, put down our first IPA brew and released THE FIEND back in May of 2015.

We've now been brewing in Footscray for over 6 years, and we favour hop-forward styles and experimenting with quality ingredients. Our small batch beers are made using quality, natural ingredients with no fining or pasteurization and minimal filtration.

Little Creatures brewing was born from a love of great beer shared by a few good mates. In particular, it was a hop driven pale ale they tasted in the north west of the US that really captured their hearts and gave rise to our signature Pale Ale. From humble beginnings on the water’s edge within the free spirited open-minded community of Fremantle across to our second home & brewery in Geelong, Little Creatures continues to bring people together. Just like our flavourful beers we know that life gets more interesting when we come together – no matter your quirks, dints, eccentricities or that little piece of magic that makes you, you. All Creatures Welcome.
