At Mt Duneed Estate, we're known for our wine. But just quietly, we're equally passionate about beer. There's really nothing like a carefully-chosen brew to quench the thirst, match a meal or savour after a long day. So, as soon as we got the chance, we established Pettavel Road Brewing Co. It's dedicated to exploring, creating and sharing our craft beer journey with guests of the Estate. Made in small batches, our beer styles are crafted according to the season, the ingredients and whatever takes our fancy. We don't make huge quantities, and that's just how we like it. Our name comes from Pettavel Road, the path that cuts through the lush green Barrabool Hills on the way to Mt Duneed Estate. It's where we host the iconic 'A Day On The Green' concerts, beautiful weddings and a steady stream of local foodies. It is for all these visitors that we create our inventive little brews. Each of our recipes pays tribute to the inhabitants of the land through which Pettavel Road weaves. Furry, fluffy or feathered - they're not always technically invited, but like all memorable guests, they give us plenty of stories to tell!
