FAQ Goat
Do you open the brewery to public?
Absolutely. We’re open every Fri eve from 5pm. We have all our beers on tap (including one off crazy batches) and we make good pizzas too. Wed nights we also open from 5 and you can get a free tour at 6:30pm. We’re usually brewing Wed nights so it’s a great time to see, hear and smell new batches of Goat coming into the world. We’re at the corner of North and Clark Streets, Richmond
Do you sell drinks other that beer at the bar?
Yep we have some good Australian whites and reds, locally distilled specialty single malt whiskies plus gin and vodka. Also have soft drinks.
How do you get the goat into the beer?
The truth is we don’t actually put goats in our beer.
Why don’t you brew the Surefoot Stout year round?
We kinda like the idea of having special beers coming out in certain seasons of the year and the Surefoot really fits well with the colder winter months.
Is it the case that you still hand bottle your Goat
After filling more than 2 million bottles by hand we now have an automated bottling line. It has been a life changing addition to the brewery and we don’t want to hand cap another bottle, ever.
Where do babies come from?
Not sure. Pass.
Did you start out as homebrewers?
Yes, it all started in Dave’s backyard in Elsternwick. We’ve still got somedetailed brewing journals highlighting the highs and lows of Dave’s early work. Some of his hits were the Salmon’s Runnin’ Stout, Leroy Brown Ale and the Black Dog Dark Brown.
Expose vos houblons! What?
“Show us your hops” as the French would say.
So why Mountain Goat?
A mountain goat’s a big hairy animal that’s never gonna fall over.
Why can’t we get Goat on tap in Sydney?
You know what you can now! The Local Taphouse in Darlinghurst have recently opened up and it’s a ripping place for beer people to visit. They usually have our Hightail on tap and sometimes one of our specialty beers too.
i was wondering if Mountain Goat Beer has merchandise? Like a T-shirt would
be good to buy home!
I second that. A T-Shirt would be great.
Yes merchandise would be excellent. Maybe patches. I could imagine
people sewing them onto their bags and hey presto what fantastic advertisement while they are walking and riding around town.
There’s merch available at the brewery. I have about 4 t-shirts (of various degrees of antiquity).
what are your goats and objectives?
We have multiple Goats, and legion objectives.
Too many to go into here.
Are you open now in early January 2012 on both wednesdays and fridays?
Hey Natalie,
Yes,
We’re back…every Wed & Fri from 5pm.
Cheers,
Goats.
