Alice Springs has plenty on offer in the way of natural beauty, local culture and ancient artistic traditions. But did you know it’s also home to what we think is one of Australia’s greatest breweries?
Located in the heart of the Red Centre at 39 Palm Circuit, with a local population of roughly 25,000 people, you might be wondering why you would build a brewery out here. Well Alice Springs Brewery Co did and we are very happy they did, along with plenty of other shops & outlets throughout the Northern Territory who they stock and sell to.
Alice Springs Brewery was started in 2018 by two friends with a crazy idea and is now home to a 500L brewing system, beer garden, restaurant, nationally renowned Head Brewer and plans to distribute their range of world class beers & seltzers all across Australia from 2022.
Those who love beer and those who don’t are bound to find something to drink here. The locally brewed core range includes the Centralian Ale, Batch #37 Pale Ale, Stout, Territory Mid and plenty more. They’ve also got a range of ‘not quite beer’ for the less hops inclined, including alcoholic Ginger Beer, Mango Hard Seltzer, Passionfruit Hard Seltzer and Watermelon Hard Seltzer.
But if any of those aren't to your taste then there’s also a huge selection of cocktails, spirits, wines & sparkling drinks to choose from.
While the beer and other drinks are definitely what the majority go for when visiting Alice Springs Brewery, there’s also amazing food to be had here.
With a wide variety of pizzas from the classic Margarita to the more eclectic Ba Ba Greek Sheep (a surprisingly delicious mix of lamb, potato, rosemary & Greek yoghurt), there’s a pizza to meet everyone’s tastes.
If you’re looking for the lower-carb option though, Alice Springs Brewery Co also serves up the classic spicy wings - what better accompaniment than that for a fresh cold brew in the Red Centre?
After a long, hot and likely incredible day of sightseeing around Alice Springs, there really is no better way to cap it off than a relaxed evening with a cold one at the Alice Springs Brewery beer garden. This place is a favourite amongst locals and you’re guaranteed to hear stories of the area which you’d never come across otherwise.
But depending on when you’re there, you may be lucky enough to experience one of the awesome events or performances hosted by the Alice Springs Brewery Co. The spot regularly plays host to comedians, musicians and all sorts of other acts to keep the always friendly crowd buzzing. So make sure you check out their website or social media pages for when you’re here to get a taste of some local talent.
While the Alice Springs Brewery is home to some of the friendliest people in the world who love nothing more than serving their tasty brews, the place is very popular so we’d advise you make a booking in advance if you want to visit.
You can make a booking on their website here or contact them at (08) 7904 4007. The beer garden is closed on Mondays & Tuesdays, but you can make reservations or visit within any of their open times listed below:
