NEW SOUTH AUSTRALIAN BREWERIES
These are the fresh South Australian brewers/ breweries which will soon be gracing us with their beers from their own equipment and their own tap rooms. You can follow their progress via their social media links below and we’ll be following their progress as part of Graild.
This article is more of an introduction to the names, a few examples of the beers which will be pouring once they are open and a rough opening date. We will update our SA Brewery Map when they are ready to go and will also have the odd Friday Drinks article so we can get to know each one a little better.
Stay tuned for more coming soon!
