Mountain Goat Brewery

The verdict

One of Victoria's best craft breweries is situated within the shadow of the bright city lights in Richmond's Mountain Goat Beer. What started out as a backyard outfit in the early '90s with duo Cam Hines and Dave Bonighton, is now a pretty swish affair, where you can enjoy a few beers and pizzas on Wednesday and Friday nights while watching the guys and their crew at work. Call us sentimental, but we still love their very first brew the best – the malty and hoppy Hightail Ale, but it's subsequently been joined by a host of other tipples, from the crisp Organic Steam Ale to the chocolatey Surefoot Stout. Brewery tours are also available on Wednesdays.
