The Federal Mills site is renowned for its creative hub of technology and hospitality, home to great local businesses like Anther and 1915. Joining the esteemed ranks, Valhalla’s 1500-litre brewhouse will have the capacity to produce up to 500,000 litres of beer annually.
For beer aficionados and locals alike, this venture promises to add another layer of vibrancy to the area, further establishing Geelong as a prominent destination for beer lovers. The 200-seat taproom on-site is set to be a hotspot for those seeking a unique beer experience.
Valhalla Brewing’s first beer has already been brewed at the venue, with head brewer Ian Jones at the helm.
Valhalla Brewing owner, Scott Hunt, shared the exhilarating news with the public in August last year: “For six years, we have been on the lookout for the ideal location for a brewery, and although several opportunities have failed to reach fruition, we believe the Federal Mills lease proves that good things come to those who wait.”
In the heart of Geelong’s CBD, the beloved Valhalla Brewing & Taproom in Union Street will continue to operate, maintaining its prominent presence in the city.
