Big Shed Brewing Concern

Adelaide


Royal Park is less park, more industrial zone. And we're pretty sure no one royal has ever set foot here. But in among the warehouses is Big Shed, an upstart craft-beer brewery doing creative things. Top of your tasting list should be the Golden Stout Time – a black toffee/honeycomb-infused stout inspired by legendary Australian ice cream the Golden Gaytime.

Order some dude food (burgers and fries) as you work your way through the beery offerings.
