Behind the Barrel Byron Bay
Take a behind the scenes look at the Byron Bay craft brewery and distillery industry. We will take you to various breweries and distilleries and give you a look at the processes they use in the production of craft beer and spirits.
Meet the local brewers and distillers and find out how they got to where they are today.
It’s more than just beer drinking, it’s about the passion these people have for the industry and Australian craft beer and spirits. Everyday people like the rest of us following their dream to do what they love and give us a great experience that is the beer and spirit industry within Byron Bay.
The tour includes many samples of the beers/spirits currently being produced at each brewery and distillery.
Whether you are a beer brewing enthusiast, home distiller or just love a good beer or spirit then we would love to have you on board…..as long as you are 18+ of course!
