What a find! Being an ex-pat Melburnian this place was a real treat - a far better selection than pretty much any place I’ve been, including in Belgium and the UK. Some of the more obscure beers are represented including Mikeller, a good range of Flying Dog, a bunch of quality Aussie micros (and some lesser quality ones), and a whole host of continental and UK beers. The chap who served me was enthusiastic and helpful, and knowledgeable with it. What a beer retailer should aspire to be.

Takes a while to get to if you’re not driving and coming from the CBD but when you arrive, it’s totally worth it. The selection is huge. Two full walls with a couple of extra shelves to go with them. The prices rival anywhere else in Melbourne (most prices in most places are about the same) The guys know their beer and are always keen for a chat about beer. I really love this place and would love it right next to my apartment in Rio. I’m totally going back the next time I’m in Melbourne.

An absolute cracker of a find. Spent a good hour there chatting with staff who were quite happy to recommend. A fantastic range with discounts and benefits for members.

While the interior is a bit run down the selection is fantastic and Simon has a huge knowledge of his product line. This is a great place to go and just browse beers to find something to take your fancy. An unparalleled selection of small Aussie brewers as well as an impressive international line up. Make time for a visit, I dont think you will be disappointed.

Man, this place is awesome - so many Vic micros I’d never even heard of, and very helpful staff. They did me up a discount on a sixpack of stuff they generally just sold as six singles, gave me about 20% off it. Very impressed - and it’s only just down the road from my Grandma’s, much better than if it were in the CBD, haha!

The east coast’s best bottle shop by a country mile. First place in Australia where I’ve found twice as many new rates as I could carry. Bought around 20 singles and could have bought at least 20 more if I had another pair of hands for carrying. Just as an example, this place had four different Ethiopian beers. (If Ethiopia is anything like Tanzania, that’s probably two more than the average Ethiopian bottle shop.) There was also a good selection of Brits and Belgians, and a huge range of Victorian micros and a few from WA. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. They know about RateBeer and they appreciate our support. The good news for us interstaters is that a mail order service is planned in the next four months. The shop is a bugger to get to but very much worth it. I took the train (15 min wait, 30 min journey, 10 min walk after asking for directions) there and a tram back. The tram stop is 30 metres from the shop so it’s the best option.
