The Black Sheep Hawthorn

The bar opens at 4pm.
The wine is calling so it would be rude not to answer.
We’ve been loving the Vermentino from lately so come down and grab a glass.

Love these smoothie beers from the guys from Gippsland.
They always do amazing flavoured sours.
This one is called Rubber Ducky and it’s a peach, pineapple, banana and coconut flavoured sour. It’s an island holiday beer.
We have this now in the fridge along with 7 other of their limited range.

Called this Black Forest Gateau Stout from as the best beer from this years
It’s finally on tap and it’s still tasting delicious. The bar is open and it’s pouring perfectly. Come on in and grab yourself a pint.

Spent this morning preparing for the weekend and I have to admit the new branding on the Two Fold whisky looks incredible.
Whoever did this label knocked it out if this world. Amazing work for such a good drink. Might be a good time to enjoy a boilermaker with the hand pumped ESB.

Ordered this beer from after my first sip at
Best beer at this years event and it’s getting delivered tomorrow. Keep an eye out for when it’s tapped. It’s going to be worth the wait.

Great advice from a wise man.
Obviously had a few faults in his life but he had a pretty amazing life.
See everyone this week from Thursday to Sunday.

"Eat at a local restaurant tonight. Get the cream sauce. Have a cold pint at 4 o’clock in a mostly empty bar. Go somewhere you’ve never been. Listen to someone you think may have nothing in common with you.
Order the steak rare. Eat an oyster. Have a negroni. Have two. Be open to a world where you may not understand or agree with the person next to you, but have a drink with them anyways.
Eat slowly. Tip your server. Check in on your friends. Check in on yourself. Enjoy the ride."
Anthony Bourdain

Love a beer collaboration and this one between @3806.beer and beer is one of the best.
Super tasty and I’m glad that teamed up with a Victorian brewery so I could get it on.

Victorian beer and pizza.
What’s a better combo?
Open until 11. If you want to support independent Victorian businesses there’s only one choice. That’s all we stock here at

If you have a spare 5 minutes spend it reading this article.
In case you haven’t noticed the independent beer segment is struggling right now. The Black Sheep The Black Sheep Hawthorn no longer refers to what we sell as “craft beer” because that term has been high jacked but the internationally owned breweries such as CUB and Asahi. What we sell is independent beer.
If you go look at the craft beer section in the big bottle shops 85-90% called craft are internationally owned and not made with the same passion as an independent brewer would do.
If you want to support local producers I’d love to see you spending your beer dollars in at our little venue or at the brewery on Riversdale road.

If anyone is interested in joining a fun dance group we host a Morris Dancing group at the bar every second Friday night.
It’s a fun group and they always enjoy a pizza and drink afterwards.

You may have even seen them today showcasing what they are about at the Boroondara Farmers Market.

Come and try Morris Dancing! 🎊🪗🎶🎻

One of my top 3 stouts of all time has just been tapped.
I realise that the beers on tap were pale and IPA focused so to balance it out we needed a dark beer on.

I saw a post earlier on Instagram that must have been hard for the person to do.

When a local asks for help the will always do our best to show some love.
Lots of independent hospitality businesses are struggling right now so I’m asking when you’re out spending your hard earned money please seek out an independent business. The corporate owned pubs, fast food chains, bottle shops, etc don’t need your money.
There will be no point complaining and reminiscing in 6 months that time that your favourite little spot is no longer around. They will be if we show the love and continue to support them now.
Our small jesture will be that once Hardings have the new menus printed out they will be added to our menu board and you’ll be able to order and eat while enjoying a Victorian produced beverage the bar.
That’s my little pledge to support a local independent business and hopefully you can too.

Thanks heaps to a local legend for the locally grown limes that are getting used to garnish our range of Victorian produced gins.
Come in today before 9 to enjoy one of a delicious options.
Thanks heaps to Lisa for sharing her spoils.

Thanks Victor for keeping the bar and customers in supply of bespoke beer coasters.
We usually have a huge supply so if you’d like some buy a beer and ask if you want one.
