## About

Bad Shepherd is our name and our game is brewing fine craft beer and complementing that with a menu heaving with smoked meat delicacies.
We take all this ‘stuff’ and do all these ‘things’ and then some beer is born.  That’s a lot of fun but it isn’t the best part.  The best part is having people try it, enjoy it, discuss it, compare it, and then come back and do it all over again.  We love that we’re creating memories for people and helping them explore the world of craft beer. Visit our brewpub at:
386 Reserve Road, Chelthenham, Victoria 3192
