If Semaphore were an author, it'd be Jack Kerouac – bohemian, poetic and partial to a drink. Wander the main street before gentrification takes hold, ducking into Sweet Amber's red-brick shopfront for a craft beer or three – house-brewed efforts (try the Lemongrass Lager) and interesting interlopers (Two Metre Tall bitter amber ale from Tasmania). Quality Australian ciders also get in your glass.
Sweet Amber also has its own brewery in Regency Park: check www.facebook.com/sweetamberbrewingco for info.
