Foghorn Brewery was born of a dream to make craft beer the way it ought to be made—from grain to glass all under one roof.

The historic building in King Street had been abandoned for several years when the new owners took over. In that dusty old warehouse, they saw the potential to create something really special.

And so it was that Newcastle’s first modern craft brewery opened its doors in April 2015. The town’s industrial roots have played a big part in shaping the unique character of Foghorn Brewery. Built from the ground up, this art deco era warehouse with exposed roof trusses now houses a custom 1800 litre brewery.

Along with the brewery, the bar and restaurant seats up to 250 people offering family-friendly, all-day dining. As well as 16 taps of beer, we have a comprehensive wine list with a Hunter region focus, and a huge range of boutique gins, along with other spirits and non-alcoholic options.
