We're going large on the shortest day of the year, with the beers, the meals, the trivia, the music, the fires... So much fun to be had.
See you there for a beer around the fire 🔥

We recently chatted to Crafty's Will Ziebell about the thinking behind our latest collaboration with We Lost The Sea.
Check it out here, and come on down to The Old Bar next Saturday night to try the beer and hear the new album for the first time. Our mates Bear the Mammoth and Treebeard are also providing some epic live performances.
Anyone who’s ever met Cornella Brewery’s Matt van Run and Spencer Page will know the pair hold a deep love for music. So when the opportunity arose for the regional Victorian brewery to make a beer celebrating We Lost The Sea’s newest album, the brewers were quick to jump at the opportunity. B...

We love getting playful with our limited beers, but we want to take a moment to appreciate the unsung hero of the brewery - our crisp, clear and classic Draught Lager.
You mightn't guess, but we make more of it than anything else, and for good reason: no gimmicks, just pure, refreshing goodness. The beer you reach for when all you want... is a beer.
Here’s to the workhorse (or should we say, draught horse?) Somewhere out there, one's got your name on it🍺

Things might be hectic with Shiraz Republic's vintage in full swing, but we're keeping the beers flowing and the tunes coming!
✅ Our grain hoppers are full
✅ Our music schedule is packed
✅ And it’s business as usual!
This weekend's live music lineup features Dean Haitani and the Michael Meeking Duo, and on the brewing front, we've got fresh batches of Hay Bale, Lager, and our classic Old Towns rolling out soon.
Plenty to drink, plenty to hear, so see you soon! 🍻

🌵 Rancho Cerveza — Crisper Than Ever!
Greetings from your local brewers! Our latest batch of Rancho Cerveza has had a couple of tweaks, and it's tasting sharper, cleaner, and crisper than ever — perfect for some good old-fashioned refreshment.
With a hint of maize and a bright citrus finish, it's a proper Mexican lager... refreshing, easy-drinking and built for good times.
In even better news, Rancho has joined the pantheon of our core range, so you can enjoy it all year round.
This fresh goodness has been out in the wild for a couple of weeks now, so grab a pint or a can next time you see it! 🌞🍻

Thanks The Crafty Pint team for the words on our new Hazy IPA featuring Blackberry Kush Terpenes 🙏
Windows 3.1 is an OS I’m embarrassingly old enough to have cut my teeth on. So, when I saw the can for Cornella Brewery's Blaze, with its 8-bit vaporwave visuals inspired by that very OS, I felt a pang of nostalgia. But while the aesthetic might be retro, Blaze is an experimental beer: the brewers...

Cornella Brewery is a microbrewery based at The Shiraz Republic, a family-run vineyard making boutique wines and craft beers in the Heathcote Wine Region. Established in 2016, our beers are hand-crafted from grain to bottle by Matt & Spencer in a shed adjacent to our winery.
Using modern craft brewing techniques, you’ll find an everchanging variety of beers available on tap at our cellar door or at selected bars and bottle shops. We make beers aimed at and in between the interesting and accessible ends of the craft beer spectrum.
Our cellar door and tap room is open every day from 10AM – 6PM for tasting and sales. We have up to 10 of our beers on tap as well as more in bottles. Enjoy a view of The Shiraz Republic’s vineyard, enjoy a pizza and relax out in the sunshine or inside our barrel room. We also have both an indoor and outdoor pool table, free to enjoy.
