The brewery produces a range of world-renowned, award winning beers, and a visit here is an experience no beer lover should miss. Hunter Beer Co produces several signature beers, such as their German-Style Kolsch, and their crowd favorite; the Slaked Magpie Vanilla Porter.

IronBark Hill Brewhouse is located at the iconic Peter Drayton Wines. The brewery has eight rotating taps, with both beer and cider on offer.
SOMETIMES THINGS CHANGE – Because our Hunter Valley brewery tours are truly behind the scenes experiences sometimes our plans need to change to accommodate brewery operations. And sometimes we just know about beer goings on around town that are worth checking out, so we may change some parts of our tours. Whilst these changes are rare, we do reserve the right to make them. If you do have a MUST-SEE beer spot, please let us know when making your booking and we’ll do all we can to make it happen.
