Somewhere between a European beer hall and a good old Aussie pub, Stomping Ground Brewery aims to give you the perfect afternoon or evening, with round after round of ales brewed on the premises. Pizzas and other share plates are on the food menu, with an in-house team of chefs who can even suggest the perfect beer to match your meal.
Before you get down to sampling the beer, consider taking Stomping Ground’s free tour, offered on Saturdays and Sundays. Satisfy your curiosity about the brewing process then satisfy your thirst with one of the 20 odd beers on tap. If you can’t decide which brew to try first, consult the taster menu, which gives you an overview before you commit to a pot or pint.
Stomping Ground’s range of beers includes everything from German-style lagers and Weissbier to classic American IPA and pale ales inspired by the neighbourhood. There’s smoked beer, sours and even authentically hand-pumped brown beer. Crisply chilled or warm mulled cider is also on offer.
A central fireplace keeps things cosy on winter nights, and in warmer months the roof opens up to let some sun in, making it a watering hole for all seasons. Stomping Ground also regularly teams up with local charities and organisations for special events and fundraisers.
Located in lively Collingwood in Melbourne’s inner northeast, Stomping Ground is a short walk from Collingwood train station. On nearby Hoddle Street you’ll also find buses and taxis while metered parking is available in surrounding streets. With plenty of room, Stomping Ground’s Beer Hall is a great place for group dinners and catch ups. Kids will love it here too, with a cubby house and a kids menu to keep them happy.
The Beer Hall is open daily. Refer to Stomping Ground’s website for specific opening times and information on upcoming events.
