For lovers of craft beer, this one is for you.

Two American lads, Andrew Fineran and Chris Sidwa, who actually met in Australia, decided to take their dream job to the next level after gathering a small fan base from their pilot brewery.

 

They are most famous for their American Pale Ale, which they make all year, and every other style they have released is done so in limited batches. If you can’t make it by their Marrickville set up but still want to try their brew, don’t stress – the boys stock their beer in various locations around inner west Sydney and the city centre.

Their tasting room doubles as a workspace during the week, so everything you see has a double purpose. The bar is used to stamp, the tables are used to bottle and the milk crates you sit on have been used to transport bottles between batches. This brewery’s industrial feel gives it an authenticity that pushes the pomp aside and lets you enjoy what really matters: the product. 


Unfortunately there isn’t a kitchen on the premises, but the Batch Brewing bros won’t make you go hungry. Various food trucks drop by on Saturdays to feed visitors, which offer a decent range, from wood-fired pizzas to pork belly buns. A clear favourite food truck is the Nighthawk Diner mobile dining car – apparently their Cuban sandwich and the Batch Brewing Co’s APA is a match made in heaven.
