Jetty Road Brewery

Set within a vast red-brick factory space inside the Dromana industrial estate – a few kilometres away from Jetty Road itself – is Jetty Road Brewing, one of the Mornington Peninsula’s best craft beer concerns.

The main bar is all lofty ceilings with a mezzanine level above. Here you’ll find a rotating selection of Jetty Road brews – and while many craft breweries claim to offer something for everyone, this one truly does, and you'll find everything from fruited sours all the way up to wintry, malt-forward styles. Seasonal highlights include a pineapple sour and a sweet pastry stout. Inspired by the coast, the Jetty Road IPA remains a fan-favourite in the core range.

To eat, the on-site kitchen serves small, large, and share plates on a menu of elevated pub fare. Best of all, everything's beer-matched. For example, you might order the JFC (Jetty Road Fried Chicken) with a hazy IPA, or a beef brisket sanga with a crisp pale ale. For two to four people, the dukkah-crusted lamb goes well with a round of hazy beers.

When the weather’s warm, head outside for a few pints in the beer garden. When it’s cooler and you need reasons to leave the house, Jetty Road offers plenty, including live music all year round and weekly food specials.
