Like its namesake in the world of music, Mixtape's Marrickville brewery bar offers plenty of variety when it comes to what's pouring through its beer taps. There’s the crowd pleasers, the curious B-sides and the coveted rarities that every good compilation needs to really rock your socks off.
Owner and head brewer Jason Newtown doesn’t produce a stock-standard core range, however, instead preferring to brew a revolving door of different recipes that cover off popular styles on the one hand while experimenting with some pretty unique (and ancient) ones on the other. It’s a win-win situation: Jason gets to brew different, dynamic beers and you get to drink them, making Mixtape the perfect place for repeat visitors craving something new to try (plus there’s nine rotating guest taps further enhancing choice).
If you're in the mood for something hop-forward and bigger than whatever pale is pouring through that tap, take a look to see what's pouring on the IPA tap. Depending on when you call in, you could enjoy double dry-hopped IPAs like the A-Side, Ryefield or Bitsa that swing from deliciously tropical to dank, depending on Jason’s motive on brew day.
In addition, most beers are gluten-reduced and if beer ain’t your thing, there’s 50-plus wines and an enviable collection of whiskeys on hand too.
