Rocky Ridge Brunswick
Rocky Ridge Brewing is pouring its own beers from the bar's 32 taps, and CDMX is slinging tacos from the airstream outside.
Overview
Australian craft breweries are doing it tough these days, fighting against huge companies for tap space in bars and pubs. But it is heartwarming to see a small family-owned Western Australian brewery like Rocky Ridge Brewing go from strength to strength, opening a huge new taphouse right in the heart of Brunswick East in September 2024.
The 130-seat venue was previously home to Thunder Road Brewing, which sadly closed down in February of the same year, and not much has changed. The main tables are still surrounded by towering steel brewing containers and the airstream food truck still sits out front.
You will notice a few differences, including a totally remodelled front bar that holds 32 regularly rotating taps and plenty of canned beers, as well as CDMX's residency in the airstream (at least for the first six months).
Rocky Ridge is known for creating a huge range of beers, from easy-drinking lagers and IPAs to your more unusual stouts and sours. They're all on show at the new Brunswick East taphouse, alongside some old and new Thunder Road Brewing creations — as the team plans to keep the old brand alive.
Cocktails from Idle Hands Drinks Co. in Perth also feature for those wanting a rest from the hopsy bevs.
