We call Healesville our home, in the heart of the beautiful Yarra Valley, right next to the Watts River. The Watts River is not only one our main supplies of brewing water, but also flows just north of our brewery/cellar door. Ben and Aaron first met working for a Yarra Valley brewery in 2011. They’ve worked with some excellent people and produced a lot of beer, yet dreamed of a time when they could work on tasty combinations of hops and malts without corporate marketing priorities watering down the quality. Much sooner than we could imagine, dreams became words, and words became action. Our families work together to deliver high quality, simple and flavourful beers to suit a diverse range of palates. We draw inspiration from old world Belgian ales and new world craft beers to create a range of interesting, drinkable beers and aim to quickly establish a barrel program to provide something for those who, like us, relish a bit more complexity. We want to celebrate a variety of beers that we love and encourage people to appreciate the diversity of beer flavours. ## What they brew - IPA — 28% of the beers we track - Pale Ale — 27% of the beers we track - Stout / Porter — 15% of the beers we track - Belgian Ale — 15% of the beers we track - Other — 6% of the beers we track - Pale Lager — 5% of the beers we track - Sour / Other — 4% of the beers we track ## Find them - Address: 7 Hunter Road, Healesville, Victoria, Australia - Coordinates: -37.65818, 145.506696 - Website: https://wattsriverbrewing.com.au/ ## Breweries nearby - [Zonzo Estate](https://finding.beer/brewery/zonzo-estate-18829.md) — 2.94, Limited — Yarra Glen, Victoria — 5.9 mi away - [Coldstream Brewery](https://finding.beer/brewery/coldstream-brewery-8049.md) — 2.89, Limited — Coldstream, Victoria — 8.3 mi away - [Hargreaves Hill](https://finding.beer/brewery/hargreaves-hill-10297.md) — 3.83, Fine — Steels Creek, Victoria — 8.5 mi away - [Seville Ridge Brewery](https://finding.beer/brewery/seville-ridge-brewery-11584.md) — 3.13, Poor — Seville, Victoria — 8.6 mi away - [Brumfield Winery & SLAQ Brewery](https://finding.beer/brewery/brumfield-winery-slaq-brewery-19242.md) — 3.40, Poor — Seville, Victoria — 9.8 mi away - [Hop Hen Brewing](https://finding.beer/brewery/hop-hen-brewing-22421.md) — 3.71, Fine — Lilydale, Victoria — 11 mi away - [Beereratne Brewing](https://finding.beer/brewery/beereratne-brewing-31340.md) — 2.92, Limited — Victoria — 13 mi away - [Riders Brewing Co.](https://finding.beer/brewery/riders-brewing-co-8563.md) — 2.85, Limited — Wonga Park, Victoria — 14 mi away ## Rankings this brewery appears in - [Best breweries in Victoria](https://finding.beer/breweries/australia/victoria.md) - [Best breweries in Australia](https://finding.beer/breweries/australia.md) --- Finding Beer scores breweries on the beer they brew rather than on the venue.
