At the gateway to the Yarra Valley, Coldstream Brewery is a destination for those who have an appreciation for fine flavours and great beer and cider.
A vet, an IT guy, a winemaker and a carpenter decide to open a brewery. While it could be the plot for a TV sitcom, instead it’s a tale of ‘Australian can-do’ with the four mates making every man’s dream a reality – starting their own brewery!
When backpacking through Europe the guys quickly realised that for a country that loves beer, Australia was lacking when it came to choice and quality and it was up to them to do something.
They set about turning their love of craft beers into a business where each could put his skills to use. Converting an old wool depot into a brewery, restaurant and bar, they launched Coldstream Brewery in 2007 with a Czech Pilsner and a cider. Since then the range has expanded to include four beers and two ciders.
Today, with business booming, brewing operations have been moved to Melbourne, but the original Coldstream Brewery, at the gateway to the Yarra Valley, is still a destination for those who have an appreciation for fine flavours and great beer and cider.
