Mornington Peninsula Brewery (Tribe) Brewery

How many great ideas are concocted between mates over a few beers every time the AFL Grand Final rolls around? And how many do you reckon actually reach fruition? Not many, I'd wager. So tip your hats to the guys behind the Mornington Peninsula Brewery whose "Let's open a brewery!" conversation as the Hawks downed the Cats in 2008 became a reality in just two years.

Built inside a factory once used to manufacture exploding golf balls, the brewery is about a kilometre from the Mornington Racecourse and the same distance from the town itself. With wine barrel tables and plenty of seating, including a beer garden added a few years down the track, Mornington Peninsula Brewery has become a great destination for beer lovers on the Peninsula.

Designed to offer beer lovers the great combination of beer and wood-fired pizza, you can also soak up the atmosphere with live music played every Sunday afternoon while your pizza (made with dough using beer) is cooking in the impressive stainless steel oven. For those more into the brewing side of things you might even catch the brewers at work as you gaze out over the brewing system from the mezzanine area.

A core range initially based around a Pale Ale, IPA and Brown Ale has been joined by the likes of Hop Culture and Lager. However, it was the specialty beers with which Mornington first really started to draw attention, with beers as varied as their trophy-winning Imperial Stout, various shades of IPA and many more appearing with such regularity their posters cover huge swathes of the venue's walls.

Such has been the popularity of their beers that in the second half of 2014 they built a new, much larger brewery, a short distance away where they also operate a canning line, becoming only the second Aussie micro to install their own.

A barrel program has followed, sending out fine beers in a variety of styles under the Mornington Artisanal banner, while the production line of other beers continues apace, cementing the brewery as one of Australia's best. It's one that's now part of Tribe Breweries too, joining Stockade Brew Co and WILDE Gluten Free Beer within the NSW based operation's portfolio in August 2018.

Mornington Peninsula Brewery Brown Ale (Cans)

Tapped August 7th, 2017

Such is the popularity and reputation of Mornington Peninsula Brewery's Brown Ale (in that cultish manner beers like brown ales are destined to occupy), it came as quite a surprise to learn recently it almost never was. During June's Crafty Cabal event at the brewery, founder Matt Bebe told us that, back in the earliest days of the brewery, head brewer AG couldn't get the beer to a point where he was happy with it. Apparently, the beer was close to being scratched until "one last go" ended… Read more

Mornington Peninsula Lager

Tapped May 1st, 2016

One thing of which you could never accuse Mornington Peninsula Brewery is not brewing enough different beer styles. Whether you're after heaps of hops, mountains of malt or quirky hybrids, chances are you'll find something among its core or specialty lineup. Yet, when you're on a mission to become one of the bigger players in the local craft brewing industry, it doesn't hurt to have something to appeal to those for whom even your pale ale might be a little too fruity. Enter the Lager. This canned… Read more

Mornington Peninsula Hop Culture

Tapped November 15th, 2016

Since they started canning at their second brewery site, Mornington Peninsula hasn't been shy in bringing new beers to market. Their #tinnage limited release range has popped out a new (or previously only available on tap) beer every month or two. Yet they've not made as much fanfare about any of those beers – even those that became Australia's first nitro cans – as they are with Hop Culture, a beer that comes with a striking design bolder even than any of those #tinnage beers. They clearly have… Read more

Mornington Peninsula IPA (Can)

Tapped November 16th, 2014

Mornington Peninsula Brewery's IPA has had quite the journey. It was one of the brewery's first ever seasonal releases, winning plenty of admirers from the off as one of the bigger, brasher local takes on the American IPA style. Over time it's been refined, losing nothing in the way of hop aroma or flavour but becoming a more balanced beast along the way. It also proved so popular that it wasn't long before it became part of the brewery's core range and was soon one of their top three sellers, with… Read more

Mornington Peninsula IPA

Tapped December 9th, 2010

Back in the day, Mornington's IPA was their third limited release from the then fledgling brewery and was their biggest yet. It's since become a popular member of the year round range (and also superseded in the "biggest" sense by several imperial releases. It's an IPA that, like their Pale Ale, takes its lead from those coming out of the US, a "light orange-tinted amber in colour" beer that packs the stone fruit aromas - peach and apricots - plus plenty of passionfruit that… Read more

Mornington Peninsula Porter

Tapped October 16th, 2010

When Crafty first visited the brewery, Mornington Peninsula's brewer AG - ever the optimistic Saints fan - said their first specialty release would be a porter called the Premiership Porter. Things didn't quite pan out for St Kilda but, he says, "thankfully it's not taken on any sour characteristics (unlike the brewer)". Instead, he says it possesses a "rich, smooth mouthfeel" that's "long in the palate" and has chocolate and coffee notes "from areshole to breakfast".… Read more

Mornington Peninsula Brown

Brewed using classic imported English ale malts, the Brown that first hit taps at the brewery is closer to those found in the north of England, full of nutty malt characteristics backed up with some toffee, chocolate and hints of raisin. It's a rich, full-flavoured beer, pouring a reddish brown that, as brewer AG develops the recipe, will begin to display more of the toffee flavours found in English Browns from the south of the country.… Read more

Style: English Brown Ale
ABV: 5.0%

Mornington Peninsula Pale

Pouring a cloudy golden yellow with a tightly packed white head, Mornington's Pale takes its lead from the American style of Pale Ale with prominent citrus and stone-fruit aromas, showcasing the American and Australian hops added late in the brewing process. It's a good example of the style that's been gently tweaked since the brewery opened, with the late hopping increased to boost the aromatics and lighter hop flavours, while maintaining bitterness at a level that keeps the beer sessionable.… Read more

Mornington Peninsula Brewery Larrikin

Tapped April 5th, 2019

Every year, as Anzac Day approaches, you'll find a few breweries creating beers to mark the occasion. And, in 2019, Mornington Peninsula Brewery has put theirs out in cans too. Larrikin ticks the requisite boxes on the outside, with the name joined by an image of bare-chested soldiers playing two-up and a poppy there for good measure too. As for inside, well, they used all the ingredients that go into the biscuits of the same name in an amber-hued beer that comes as quite the change after a summer… Read more

One can't help but feel that, of all the fruits, passionfruit deserves an Australian Craft Beer Hall of Fame spot (were such a thing to exist, of course). It's the defining characteristic of the Galaxy hop at the heart of Stone & Wood's Pacific Ale, which in turn has become the defining characteristic of 1,276 other locally brewed beers (and counting).

Mornington Peninsula Brewery Hamfish Brut IPA

Tapped November 30th, 2018

What is a hamfish? And what relation does it have to the Brut IPA style? Well, it turns out Hamfish is the nickname of Mornington brewer Hamish and, when the team there was thinking about a name for this Brut IPA they deemed it appropriate. Why? They figured there was a "pompous beer-wankiness" to the style and Hamfish was its "vulgar antithesis" – a means of "taking the piss out of the style and ourselves for being late to the Brut IPA party". For all that there's… Read more

Mornington Peninsula Brewery Squid Supremacy

Mornington Peninsula Brewery and near neighbours Commonfolk Coffee are regular customers of each other and have been known to combine the fruits of their respective labours in the past. And here they're at it again with the release of Commonfolk Brown in cans. The easy assumption to make would be that the co-conspirators have taken the Brown Ale of one and infused it with some coffee from the other.

Mornington Peninsula Brewery Old Pumping Station II

Tapped July 3rd, 2018

Mornington Peninsula Brewery's Imperial Stout has long been one of the finest to appear each winter. In 2017, they gave the beer an added layer of luscious deliciousness in the form of Old Pumping Station, a shiraz barrel aged version that, like Jude, took a rad stout and made it better, landing in our Best New Victorian Beers of 2017 too. In 2018, they've repeated the tactic. Except they haven't. Well, not exactly, anyway. Instead, they've taken a portion of their Imperial Stout and aged it in former… Read more

Mornington Peninsula Brewery was one of the earlier movers when it came to putting a New England style IPA through its brewhouse. It came in the shape of Jiffy Squid, initially brewed with Brisbane's Brewski for part of the bar's Pint of Origin Victoria showcase at Brewsvegas 2017 before returning as part of the brewery's #tinnage limited release can series.

Mornington Peninsula Brewery Artisanal The Farm

Tapped April 20th, 2018

For its first Artisanal barrel aged release of 2018, Mornington Peninsula Brewery pays homage to both its locality and the brewers of Belgium. Taking its name from a popular surf spot near Flinders on Mornington Peninsula, The Farm is a saison that’s been taking shape in French oak barrels with Brettanomyces for company. It would appear the Brett strain chosen here isn't of the barnyard funk variety, despite the beer's name, as The Farm delivers more of a fruit-laden mix of flavours. With a smooth… Read more

Mornington Peninsula Brewery Jungle Funk

Considering Mornington Peninsula Brewery has both the Artisanal and the #tinnage series as homes for its many and varied limited releases, you might think that would offer enough of a canvas for new beers. But the brewery isn't one to limit its output in any way and often tests the water for potential new canned specialties via keg only releases. The latest of those is Jungle Funk, an India saison that matches New World hop flavours with some of the farmhouse qualities saisons can deliver. According… Read more

Mornington Peninsula Brewery Artisanal Beleura

The second release in the Mornington Artisanal range features a pair of Berliner weisse style beers that, like its peers, takes its name from a well known location on the peninsula. In this case, it's Beleura House and Gardens, where the launch of the beers took place. And the reason for the release coming in two parts is that they took the base beer and aged some of it in locally sourced pinot noir barrels for a few months before release. The variation between the beers is subtle. Certainly, you'd… Read more

Back in the middle of winter, we held a Crafty Cabal event in the Barrel Room at Mornington Peninsula. The brewery had not long launched its barrel program, AKA Mornington Artisanal, with Old Pumping Station, a beer that made our end of year Best New Beers list.

Mornington Peninsula Brewery's #tinnage series of one-off canned releases reaches double figures here as they revisit a beer originally brewed for and with Brisbane's Brewski for Pint of Origin back in March. It was one of the earlier appearances of a NEIPA Down Under, a statement that makes it apparent just how insanely fast they've appeared in the eight months since, with its name a reference to a Tom Waits and Screamin' Jay Hawkins skit.

A few years back, Mornington Peninsula Brewery was one of the first local breweries to release a beer commercially showcasing the much-hyped new US hop Mosaic. If memory serves, The Crafty Pint's first encounter led us to believe it was the most juicily orangey of IPAs we'd come across at that point.
