Cowaramup Brewing Company is a family owned microbrewery situated in the world renowned Margaret River Region in the South West of Western Australia.
Located in a picturesque rural setting 4km east of Bussell Highway in Cowaramup, Cowaramup Brewing Company offers quality hand crafted ales and lagers, a range of local wines with an excellent menu focusing on local produce.
The brewery which opened in December 2006 currently has six beers available on tap including Cowaramup Pilsener, Hefeweizen, Special & India Pale Ales, Cowaramup Porter & Cowaramup Lightsign Summer Ale. The Cowaramup Pilsener was awarded the Champion Lager Trophy at the International Beer Awards in May 2011 beating those entered by Coopers, Swan, Heineken & Toohey's to name a few. The award is a great honour and recognises the excellent beers produced at the Cowaramup Brewery.
The venue itself consists of the brewhouse, bar and restaurant with shaded decking and beautiful beer garden overlooking the surrounding rural area and a small dam. The brewery is family orientated with a children's playground that can easily be seen from all areas. There is also ample area for a friendly game of Footy or Cricket, Petaque or Jenga - which ever you prefer!!
Nine varieties of hops are also grown on site and some of these hops are used to produce the beers.
The brewery is open 7 days a week from 10am to 6pm, however is available for private functions outside these hours. (The brewery is closed Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Year's Day & Good Friday). |
This year the Australian International Beer Awards were held on Thursday 23rd May 2013 and while we did not take out the big whammy this year we still got some medals. The Lightsign Summer Ale is now our most awarded beer gaining a bronze in the English Style Summer Ale category and of course the infamous Pilsener got a bronze this year.
