Prickly Moses Brewery

Prickly Moses brewery is located in the pristine natural environment of the Otways in southwestern Victoria, where they’re blessed with the purest of rainwater. The Otways inspire the team to produce beer in an environmentally responsible way, so they’ve implemented a number of green initiatives at the brewery to lessen their footprint. They harvest rainwater for use at the brewery and produce solar electricity to supplement the use of grid electricity. They also donate their spent grain to local farmers who use it as animal fodder.

The cellar door, now called Otway Estate Bar & Cafe, is open Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Visitors can taste a range of beers, ciders and wines produced at the estate. The large deck overlooking the dam is a lovely way to soak up the serenity of the Otways, and in the cooler months, people can warm themselves by the fire.

The self-contained spa cottages offer a peaceful getaway, with views overlooking the vines. All cottages enjoy a sense of privacy, a relaxing spa, their own deck, a well-equipped kitchen and undercover parking.
