Temple Brewing Company

Skip the sterile, commercialized taprooms. Temple Brewing is an independent, family-run powerhouse in Brunswick East. The aesthetic? Effortlessly chill—complete with front-row dining room views of the gleaming production floor. Ask any serious hop-hunter in the postcode: the pours here are impeccably fresh. Crisp, highly sessionable brews rule the roost. The Rice XPA and Weston St IPA hit every mark, while that tart, ultra-refreshing Okinawa sour ale is an absolute knockout on a warm afternoon. But the real kicker? The kitchen slings phenomenal South American plates. The weekend crowd flocks for the authentic Brazilian churrasco—think sizzling sausages and fiercely flavorful cuts—alongside a surprisingly deep roster of vibrant vegan options. Throw in lively trivia nights, board games, and zero pretension. An absolute must-hit.
