Tar Barrel is a well known 'local's corner' on the Mornington Peninsula and named by road builders storing tar barrels during road building through the area.
TAR BARREL Brewery & Distillery has seen Matt Bebe and Andrew Gow reunite to continue producing award winning craft beers at 72 Watt Road Mornington. And now with the introduction of a whiskey and gin distillery it has widened their ability to offer more crafted taste experiences.
The venue will also maintain their belief in 'The Spirit of Local' - a commitment to supporting and sourcing from the Mornington Peninsula community.
Core and specialty beers, produced onsite, are available on tap to enjoy alongside their smoked BBQ and famous wood-fired pizzas. You can also try their crafted spirits - Australian Whiskey, Gin & Vodka, as well as local wines.
Sit back and relax in the beer garden. Dogs on leads always welcomed.
A true Mornington Peninsula experience.
A destination not to be missed.

    The staff were very friendly and welcoming. We were travelling from Adelaide to Melbourne and for a holiday in the Mornington Peninsula. Tar Barrel Brewery and Distillery were celebrating their 5th Birthday. A great spot to call in for regular visits or for tourists, with wonderful food and a big menu to choose from.
