Crafty Dozen – June 2019

Time for another roundup of new brewery, bar and bottleshops added to the site as we've listed another dozen since the last wrap in case you missed them first time around.

This time around, there's breweries in WA, Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland, venues in Hobart and Melbourne and a couple of online retails for good measure.

As well as adding their stories to the directory on the main site, it means you can now find detailed entries for them and hundreds more in the free Crafty app, designed to help beer lovers find good beer when you're out and about.


The Goods Shed (VIC) – Inspired by his global travels, Dan O'Connell returned to his hometown of Wodonga and set about giving folks a fine craft beer venue to call their own, complete with Beer Bingo.


Dirty Pennies (TAS) – A supergroup drawn from Tassie's hospo scene took over the former Victoria Tavern and turned it into a home for good booze and jaffles. 


Craft Beer Coopery (Online) – A social enterprise designed to get people talking about mental health via monthly beer packs that encourage mates to get together for a beer or two. 


Tumut River Brewing Co (NSW) – As much a community hub as a brewery, Tumut River has become a must-see stop for anyone visiting the Snowy Mountains region. 


Black Hops II (QLD) – The Black Hops story shows no sign of slowing with the trio of mates and their growing gang opening a second brewery and venue on the Gold Coast.  Crafty Cabal Member offer at Black Hops Brewing: Free Tasting Paddle At Black Hops
