Travelling through the region midweek, drop into the Moyhu Hotel and join the locals for their weekly Wednesday night Pot & Parma.

See close up where the beers are brewed, and learn what goes into crafting that perfect ale. Possibly even learn the secrets from talking to the brewers themselves. Our breweries are family owned and operated, so you may even hear some brewing secrets whispered from the brewers themselves as they pour you a beer. Family friendly, our breweries have great outdoor areas for that pint in the sun.

restaurateurs and internationally recognised winemakers. Now, there’s another great way to finish off a High Country day of touring wineries, savouring local fare, hitting the Rail Trail for a leisurely cycle or feeling the exhilaration of a downhill mountain bike track (as you’ll find many of our thrill-seeking brewers do!) - and that’s kicking back with a cool ale and drink it all in. Not only does the region herald some crisp refreshing ales and some fun loving young characters brewing these treasurers, but the region is also home to Ben Clifton. He may be the winemaker at the family winery Amulet Vineyard, but he also happens to be the genius behind Beechworth Cider. Made
from picked with love apples, locally grown and picked with love - the cider is about as real as it gets. After all, as Ben says - ‘life is complicated enough so we have kept Beechworth Cider simple’. Fresh locally grown apples, a little spritz and a lot of thought. It’s worth stopping by Amulet to savour a taste of this local treasure. Most restaurants, providores or liquor stores such as the Pinsent Hotel in Wangaratta sell these local beauties. When dining out or hitting a local hotel for a refreshing afternoon beverage - be sure to sample something local and join the following of ale sipping, cider loving High Country fans.
