Breweries

A visit to the brewery…

The brewery maintains the garage-like feel that reflects the origins of our early brewing days. The space is relaxed, and embodies the Central Coast way of life where beach culture is celebrated and revered. It is family friendly and children are always welcome, but need to be supervised at all times. dogs are also welcome in the taproom but must be on a lead at all times.

There are 10 taps and an English hand pump (seasonal) to choose from including a rotating variety of 4 various beer styles, our core range of 5 and the highly popular apple cider – all of which are brewed on site.

The history of the brewery..

Block ’n Tackle brewery took seed as a brewing project between Avoca Beach locals Michael Pepper and Al Jones. Having teamed up with fellow locals Brett Brown and Greg Tobin, the brewery opened its doors at its current premises in April 2015.

In May 2019, a change in ownership saw Paul Wakelin take over the running of the brewery, along with the commitment to continue brewing the highest possible quality product. He is equally passionate about developing the reputation of the Block ‘n Tackle brewery brand, enhancing the customer experience at the taproom and extending brewhouse output to meet demand while facilitating the development of packaged product.
