Stomping Ground in Collingwood brews craft beer with a full menu: a busy taproom, weekend family trade and one of Melbourne's better beer gardens.

Boatrocker Brewing ★ 4.4

Boatrocker in Dromana on the Mornington Peninsula brews Belgian ales and barrel-aged sours: the Brett and funk programme is the most serious in Melbourne.

Slowbeer ★ 4.4

Slowbeer on Smith Street in Fitzroy is Melbourne's best craft bottle shop: fridge-lined walls, knowledgeable staff and no mainstream macro product in sight.
