Foghorn Brewery was born of a dream to make craft beer the way it ought to be made—from grain to glass all under one roof.The historic building in King Street had been abandoned for several years when we first set foot inside. In that dusty old warehouse, we saw the potential to create something really special.And so it was that Newcastle’s first modern craft brewery opened its doors in April 2015. The town’s industrial roots have played a big part in shaping the unique character of Foghorn Brewery. Built from the ground up, this art deco era warehouse with exposed roof trusses now houses a custom 1800 litre brewery.

Great relaxed ambience. Gets busy at this time of year and thus noisy even sitting outside. Bruschetta was disappointing and burger and health bowl were fine but nothing to write home about. With this location, a bit more pizzazz with the menu could make it a first choice.
