Mountain Culture Brewery Redfern

Overview

After conquering the western peaks, this craft beer favourite is taking on the Big Smoke. Mountain Culture Beer Co has continued to expand at an extraordinary pace since its launch in the Blue Mountains in 2019, but this latest venture, located just three kilometres from Sydney's CBD, is the brewery's first foray into a broader hospitality offering.

Mountain Culture experienced a rocky first 18 months after opening its first brewery in Katoomba just prior to the COVID-19 lockdowns, but after surviving these early trials, the company bounced back and quickly outgrew its initial site, opening a second production facility in Emu Plains to meet booming demand. Since then, the business has been going from strength to strength and currently holds the title of fourth-largest independent brewer in Australia, also winning the coveted GABS Hottest 100 two years in a row. 

With this third venue, located within a converted warehouse in Redfern, Mountain Culture continues to bring their innovative brews to an adoring fan base. Revamped to be the perfect home for its growing popularity, the space has retained an industrial feel while incorporating custom metal work into the bar and lighting fixtures. Barrels of Mountain Culture's popular brews line the walls but leave plenty of room for visitors to mingle over a freshly poured frothy.

Offering its Award-winning core range along with 16 rotating brews straight from Mountain Culture's innovation program, visitors can purchase every beer offered on tap or for takeaway, including weekly limited releases. The Redfern venue has also launched the brand's barrel program, where a variety of exclusive beers will be aged in and blended from disused barrels including ex-Bourbon and Australian Rum. For those looking for a bite, the modern Australian lunch and dinner menu offers familiar dishes as well as a new late-night kebab menu. 

"This venue represents a pivotal moment for our brand. We're not just opening a new venue; we're doing it the Mountain Culture way, with a focus on creating something new and exciting," says Mountain Culture co-founder and CEO, DJ McCready. We'll drink to that.
