THRIVING For OVER 100 YEARS
microbrewery Craft beer
Welcome to Clifton Hill Brewing
It's all about the beer, brewed here
Here lies Clifton Hill’s hidden gem, right inside the historic Clifton Hill Hotel – where locals have been raising their glasses since 1884. It’s more than just a pub; it’s a piece of Clifton Hill’s heart and soul, with a touch of old-school charm and a whole lot of character.
When our family took over in the ’80s, we knew this place was something special. We’ve traded in the big-band nights and rowdy revelries for a space where good food, great beer, and even better company come first. This isn’t a place that’s trying too hard – it’s a place that’s simply perfected the art of a good pub experience.
Whether you’re a local legend or a curious newcomer, come by and discover what the neighbourhood’s been quietly raving about for decades. At the Clifton Hill Brewpub, everyone’s welcome, and every pint’s poured with pride.

Our Menu
Meet Our Locals
Pale Ale (5.2% abv)
Cliftonhill Brewpub American style Pale Ale boasts big tropical pine & citrus hop aromatics with a solid malt backbone to balance an assertive bitterness. We dry hop this beer twice to maximise the intense hoppy aromas that climb their way out of the glass.
Dark Ale (5.0% abv)
GOLD MEDAL AIBA 2019 – Our signature Dark Ale (now in cans!) gives off aromas of freshly roasted coffee, dark chocolate & sweet grain. Featuring roasted & caramel malts balanced with herbaceous European noble hops. Finishes dry so you can come back for more.
Irish Red Ale (4.4% abv)
Clifton Hill Brewpub Irish Red Ale is full of toffee & biscuit aromas & flavours. We pour this beer with nitrogen to give it a full creamy mouthful. Finishes smooth with a hint of roast malt. try it today!
Queens Parade Pale Ale (4.5% abv)
An Australian style Pale Ale that’s a bit more laid back than its American counterpart. We’ve actually honed the recipe to make this beer something that keeps you interested without blasting your taste buds. Hoppy, sessionable & refreshing.
India Pale Ale (6.4% abv)
Big & bold, our American style IPA (India Pale Ale) has a huge punch of resinous & tropical aromas which lead into a medium body balanced perfectly against a strong bitterness. We pack this beer with kilos of late addition hops to make this an IPA that takes no prisoners.
