Mountain Goat Brewery

Melbourne


This local microbrewery occupies a lofty warehouse in Richmond's backstreets. Sample its range of beers with more than a dozen on tap while nibbling pizza. There are free brewery tours at 6.30pm on Wednesday. It’s tricky to reach: head east on Bridge Rd, then turn left at Burnley St and right at North St.
