The best breweries around the Margaret River region
A cheeky trip down south just isn’t complete without a long, easy afternoon at one of the Margaret River region’s tip-top breweries.
Check out a couple of our favourites for your next weekend away:
Margaret River Brewhouse
On the bank of the river and nestled amongst the trees just outside of town, Margaret River Brewhouse is ticking a whole lotta boxes for us. As well as their pretty nifty core and seasonal ranges on tap (including some exciting collabs with other WA legends), their food menu manages to keep things both interesting and crowd-pleasing – with treats on offer like a cheeseburger roti, beer-battered mackerel, or a lemon ricotta starter served alongside burnt honey and flatbread.
35 Bussell Highway, Margaret River
Beerfarm
Metricup’s Beerfarm is a dairy farm-turned brewery that’s become a favourite amongst locals and visitors alike since opening back in 2015. The passion project of five mates with a love of good beer and good bites, it’s proudly independent and thoroughly relaxed. Their philosophy is “Beer For All” – from crafty to complex and everything in between. The venue is exceptionally welcoming to the family dog and food here is simple, generous, and designed to share. Perfect for grabbing a few dishes, dropping in the centre of the table and tucking in!
177 Gale Road, Metricup
Cowaramup Brewing Company
Just down the road from Margs you’ll find the unassuming town of Cowaramup, a place that’s very quickly becoming as essential as the rest of the Margs region, and the Brewing Company is a great first port of call. The brewpub busts out a bunch of hearty beers, while the kitchen dishes up equally hearty feasts.
229 North Treeton Road, Cowaramup
Shelter Brewing Co.
This big, beautiful brewery is situated near the famous Busselton Jetty and has been serving up some great eats from their seasonal menus. Peruse their selection of unique brews and sit back in the arvo with a beer in hand while you overlook views of the bay; or pop down in the morning and grab yourself a coffee and a bagel for the best brekky start to your day.
11 Foreshore Parade, Busselton
Eagle Bay Brewing Co.
If it’s sweeping down south vistas with a beer in hand you’re chasing, Eagle Bay Brewing Co. has it in spades. They’ve also got a great, unassuming lunch menu, friendly staff who’ll happily walk you through their brew selections, and a simple kids playground to keep ’em occupied.
252 Eagle Bay Road, Eagle Bay
CBCo Brewing
This Margaret River brewery has implemented a range of sustainability processes, including the development of a Paddock to Plate menu served at the restaurant, seasonally inspired and full of fresh, flavourful ingredients. And along with serving great beers and excellent food, they’ve also added short iron range bays so you can work on your golf swing while bending the elbow at the same time!
29 Osmington Road, Bramley
Rocky Ridge Brewing Co.
This is Australia’s first Certified Sustainable & Carbon Neutral Brewery and they are passionate about providing great beer, supporting local and environmental friendliness. Stop into this family-owned business and enjoy a brew from one of their 25 options on tap, or if wine is more your style you can even do some wine tasting.

Wild Hop Brewing Company
Designed for both locals and visitors to enjoy, Wild Hop is maintaining the chill vibes while doing things a little differently. You can’t buy their beers pre-packaged, so we reckon the best way to try them is right from the source! Head there on Sunday arvos during summer to take in some live music on the deck, or hit up their share-style menu, which revolves (pardon the pun) around a huge wood-fired rotisserie oven.
1301 Wildwood Road, Yallingup
