Castlemaine Brewing Company

I visited this restaurant during a walking tour of Castlemaine. The staff was very friendly and the brewer even took the time to chat with us. We all enjoyed trying the beer tasters, as we could choose which ones we wanted to sample. I especially liked the ginger beer and the PLC. It seems like they have live music and reasonably priced pizza. I would have stayed longer, but I had to catch the train back to Melbourne.

The Taproom is a excellent place to catch up with friends & family. The staff are excellent as well as their food & beverages. Not to far for a days drive from Melbourne or even better stay in Castlemaine and make a whole afternoon/evening of it. Look forward to my next visit.

We all had a tasting paddle. What is great you can make up the paddle by nominating which beers you want to try. I loved the Celtic Red, the Frailty pale ale and the Pilsner oh and the Porters not bad either. We had a pizza for lunch which i would recommend too.

Great range of craft brews - including a coffee beer. Pizzas are tasty and cheap and they often have live music. Cool venue, with inside and outside seating w/ heaters and good service.

Home of the original XXXX Beer before the owners moved north. It is now a craft brewery where beer drinkers can buy a paddle which consists of 4 beers your choice. The restaurant makes a good thin crust selection of pizzas to was he the beer down with.
