gales brewery
Founded in 2022 by two mates who traded in careers in electronics to pursue the liquid arts, Gales is at its core local, experimental, and deliberately small scale. Head brewer Tom now leads the charge, making sure to keep the 13 taps full and in constant rotation.
Tucked quietly away on Gale Street in Brunswick East, Gales tap room has a subtle post-apocalyptic green has reclaimed the world sort of a vibe, whilst somehow also managing to be pretty cosy and inviting (we reckon).
Little wonder, then, that Brunswick East locals quickly embraced the brewery or that it regularly fills with friends, families and their dogs, all eager to catch up over a beer. They’re brewed on a 500-litre system that hugs one side of the venue; as a longtime homebrewer, Gales always eager to explore a variety of beer styles, tweak recipes and look to bring something new to the classics.
Expect to see heaps of kiwi hops, award winning dark beers, the occasional sour, and a mead permanently on tap. Always dog friendly and family friendly, Gales are really enjoying being a part of the community in Brunswick.
