Holgate Brewhouse is a family owned, 100 per cent independent craft-brewing company, cranking out classic beer styles in their microbrewing plant in Woodend, 45 minutes north of Melbourne in the central highlands of Victoria.

Check out the state of the art Brewing facility and Taproom all on the same site as the Historic Gold Rush built hotel. It is the best way to get intimate with the Holgate draught beers or even better stay the night upstairs in the fully refurbished stylish accommodation and enjoy a fabulous meal, beers and local wines.

The beers are all traditionally brewed, with no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives. They just use four ingredients, malt, hops, yeast and pure Macedon Ranges water. Their Real Ales are served from Beer Engines fully imported from England, these babies pump up the ale from the cellar in the time honoured tradition.

Holgate Brewhouse have a ‘Tasting Paddle’ available where you can sample the Holgate beers to try before deciding on your favourite. Or arrange a brewery tour in conjunction with an accommodation package.

Make sure you have a bite to eat. The menu is packed full of pub favourites, all house made using locally sourced ingredients.
