Wyadra BrewingTallong, New South Wales
There are just two ingredients you need for an incredible brewery experience.
Good beer is mandatory, but an almost treasure-hunt-like experience to find a new brewery always reminds you that the journey is always more important than the destination.
Wyadra Brewing is a small craft beer producer operated by John and Kate Dall on their remote property at Tallong in southern New South Wales. And when we say property, we mean literal tin shed propped up against an old oak tree and sandwiched between a dirt track and busy freight rail line.
After traversing the aforementioned endless dirt track, Wyadra appears like a mirage on the horizon.
Three crowns from its icon logo emerging like a beacon of beer beckoning us for a good afternoon of boozing in the bush.
In the brewshed, you can gather around John鈥檚 makeshift timber bar and roaring log fireplace while old vintage cars hover on hoists above - one of which is an old red Lamborghini.
In between John鈥檚 home-made hors d鈥檕euvre of Primo cabanossi and tasty cheddar cheese, the real star of the show at Wyadra is the beer.
And if you鈥檙e looking for an afternoon to settle in and forget you鈥檙e actually miles away from Australia鈥檚 biggest city, acoustic guitar acts from the bush frequent the shady branches of Wyadra鈥檚 old oak on a Saturday afternoon.
Ask for a tour of John鈥檚 mechanic shed-cum-brewery and be sure to buy a sticker for your Esky so you can tell your kids about your experience, this one won鈥檛 remain a secret from Sydneysiders for long.

Tallong is about a 2 hour drive southwest of Sydney.
