Nestled at the base of Victoria’s Mount Bogong lies the township of Mount Beauty. Back in 2017, brothers Steve and Mick, and cousin Matt, alongside their partners Bec, Steph and Lucy, reopened the local watering hole’s doors as West Peak Hotel.
However, they wanted to create something more to really put their beautiful town on the map. With a passion for craft beer and the relevant expertise, the family decided to install a 1,000 litre, three-vessel brewery on site in 2022. They utilise the region’s crystal-clear mountain water, quality hops and grain to make some seriously delicious beer.
With more than ten beer varieties on offer and award-winning food up for grabs, Mountain Monk Brewers have become a destination of their own. The business is family-owned and the only accredited wholly veteran-owned brewery in Australia.
We recommend trying their Aussie Hop Cold IPA. Its crammed full of Topaz™ and Eclipse®, and absolutely pops with aromas and flavours of lychee, mandarin, citrus and tropical fruits.
