Slowbeer

We are moving. New venue in the works. Online only. Having opened in September 2009, Slowbeer was the country’s first, 100% dedicated craft beer store.

We focus our range on local microbreweries & more obscure imports from cult breweries around the world. Having closed our Fitzroy store in June 2023 we are currently searching for a new location in Melbourne's North East suburbs and accordingly trading online in the interim.

NOW ON TAP .co Cali IPA

“Chasing that feeling, a rush like no other. A super clean and dry body with a certain salinity, inundated with waves of El Dorado LUPO, Azacca LUPO, Galaxy and Simcoe. Super tropical, plenty of the old school, worth it.

A meld of dry and crisp, with new world hops. Tropical fruits, soft citrus and stone fruit on the nose, is balance by a creamy mouthfeel and dry, biscuity finish. Moreish and some salinity, and a wave of hop flavours. Surfs up.” - .co

Now on tap at our new home . Only 3 kegs in Victoria and we scored 1!

“Thanks to our mates at Single O, we’ve created a decadent coffee stout that heroes their special Firecracker blend to see out our 2024 Stout Series with a bang.

Inspired by their new coffee bar in Shibuya, Tokyo, and the Sumida Fireworks Festival, one of the many summer festivals in Japan, we’ve added chocolate covered strawberries and black sesame to complement the huge cherry and chocolate notes from the coffee. The result is a layered, balanced stout with an extra milky body for extra indulgence.”

Boatrocker’s new ready to drink spirits have hit the shelves are we are excited! We love gin so much we poured it as one of our house gins in the bar. Both sound delicious, I’m not sure which to go for first!

Savour the undeniable citrus-tication of our Original Gin. We’ve balanced it perfectly with exotic yuzu, a touch of cucumber and a good splash of soda for a lively drop that’s mighty refreshing.

Enjoy our delicious batch distilled and hand crafted gin anywhere. Ready to drink and sugar-free.
