If you live in Victoria and enjoy your beer or even if you're just visiting, take the trip down to Woodend and check the brew out. Nice friendly staff and decent food to boot. http://www.holgatebrewhouse.com/

My Dad lives there in Woodend. In winter it is about as close as it gets to the winter over here in England. Bloody cold that it. Anyway it is a nice place although it's quiet country town atmosphere has changed considerably over the years. Yuppies have moved in. Yet it's only a 1 hour train ride direct into Spencer Street station to watch by beloved Geelong Cats play at Docklands Stadium (Telstra Dome).

As for the beers made by the Holgate microbrewery I cannot give a fully informed comment as I have been a teetotaller for many years now. However previously being a lover of fine brews, certainly the colour and aromas of the beers that Holgate produce are top noth and my father has a very favourable opinion of them.

Oh yeah, happy Australian Day to the guys and girls back home.
