Capital Brewing Co

Top choice in Canberra


Out in industrial Fyshwick are straight-from-the-tap local craft beers served in a stylishly fitted-out taproom. Get your bearings with a tasting paddle that includes the popular Coast Ale. Outside, the green is great for kids and dogs (who can sample the nonalcoholic dog brew). Hungry? The original Brodburger van serves burgers, hot dogs and snacks.
