Byron Bay Brewery burgers and beer
COFFEE COMPANY
This Friday October 6, the Brewery are launching their new burger concept restaurant. The Brewery is a great place to bring kids, as the service is fast and friendly, there is a special kids’ menu that (for U12s) includes burgers, fish and chips or chicken plus a drink and dessert for just $12. We ate recently just before seeing a movie at the Pighouse Flicks. As you’d expect with a venue run by Lion Nathan, there’s a great range of wines, but of course what is actually made all around you as you are eating is beer. The fact is that beer such as The Hazy One, that actually tastes good, is being created in the vats surrounding you while you eat, and you can drink it; it’s the beer version of eating at a restaurant where you can see the kitchen garden, then reach out and pluck a tomato. The Hazy One is brewed here, and is served here on tap along with the other beers, but you can’t take it away at present as the Byron brewing vats are not large enough to do bottles or cans. However, as we reported on 22 August, in a few weeks you WILL be able to take away cans of The Hazy One, brewed by Byron head brewer Alastair Gillespie in the group’s Adelaide brewery.

You might think that this young diner at the Byron Bay Brewery is smaller than the big burger, but that’s because objects closer to you appear larger than those farther away! No way!
