South Coast Brewing Co

Fleurieu Peninsula


In a shabby-chic shed in Willunga's lower back blocks, this raffish little brewery is run by three local guys who seem genuinely surprised at their success (it started as a hobby – who knew there was craft-beer niche in the Willunga scene!?). Blaring Tom Petty goes well with a few pints of Maslins Red Ale.
