STORY

STORY

Tar Barrel is a well-known corner in Red Hill and named by road builders storing tar barrels during road building on the Mornington Peninsula.

TAR BARREL Brewery & Distillery has seen Matt Bebe and Andrew Gow reunite to continue producing award winning craft beers at 72 Watt Road Mornington, the original home of Mornington Peninsula Brewery. And now with the introduction of a whiskey and gin distillery it has widened their ability to offer more crafted taste experiences. The new Tar Bar will also maintain their belief in the philosophy of being ‘local’ and using ‘local’, having both core and specialty beers on tap to enjoy alongside the famous wood-fired pizzas. Local wines and spirits ensure all are catered for. A destination not to be missed.

Back on tap for growler fills from 3pm today... Mornington IPA. Getting a lot of positive feedback to the changes AG has made to this bad boy - might be worth another try if you haven't tasted it in a while. Canning it next Tuesday and back in the fridge Wednesday 8th Sep. Cheers

$As promised WALK BETWEEN THE RAINDROPS \\\ HAZY PALE 5% is back on tap for growler fills and in 500ml 4-packs from today. It is also available at local stockists. Unfortunately its already sold out online. I'm enjoying a sneaky glass from the tap as I write this - sooo good! Cheers$

Let me introduce you to a little friend nicknamed 'RAINDROPS'.
Our latest limited release beer is a 5% Hazy Pale called WALK BEETWEN THE RAINDROPS and was first available on tap for growler fills last Friday. And if the feedback is any indication you don't want to miss out!
Bad news is there is not much left for tonight's growler fills, but good news is that we are packing more next week into both keg and 500ml cans.
Perhaps AG needs to make some more?
Cheers
