Watsacowie Brewery
The brewery and cellar door is located in Minlaton on the beautiful Yorke Peninsula. Located approximately a 2.5 hour drive from Adelaide, about an hour south from Wallaroo and about an hour North from Marion Bay. The cellar door caters for around 250 people in relaxed country style atmosphere with all furniture and the bar being made from recycled local Jarrah and Oregon timbers which were reclaimed from a 130 year old shearing shed.
Everything is produced onsite (with the exception of the wine & softdrinks) and patrons are welcome to purchase at the cellar door. For those who want to enjoy the venue but aren’t really into beer, there is fresh brewed ginger beer, vodka seltzers, wine and soft drinks available.
Minlaton has long been regarded as the Barley Capital of the World so it’s only fitting that it has it’s own brewery. The town is centrally located on the Southern Yorke Peninsula and the beautiful Bluff and Parsons beaches are only a short 5 minute drive away.
