Brewery
The recently restored, Billson’s Brewery, in the heart of Beechworth, offers a family friendly menu featuring local produce and an extensive drinks menu including the full range of traditional cordials, classic sodas, hand crafted spirits, beers on tap and cocktails.

The regionally inspired menu is available across three unique dining spaces. The Taproom restaurant, boasting 16 taps, cushioned booths and expansive dining tables provides plenty of space for the whole family to enjoy. While downstairs in the brewery cellar the Speakeasy bar will transport you back to the roaring 20’s. This moody, charismatic space offers intimate seating with classic leather chesterfield sofas and high-top tables, decadent glassware and antique charm. Or, make your way outside to the dog friendly Beer Garden, decked out with misters and heaters providing the perfect climate control all year round.

    I caught the train up from Melbourne especially to celebrate my birthday by having lunch at Billson’s and I had the best time! The arancini and the crème brûlée were delicious, and as always, the cocktails didn’t disappoint! I say it every time but Billson’s has the best and friendliest staff, thanks for looking after me so well yet again guys!

    We visited while staying locally. Saturday we visited the tasting area and then went through to the whiskey and gin room for lunch. Wonderful service, delicious food, delightful cocktails. Absolutely loved it all! Then Sunday we went for the tour and more tastings. The tour was awesome! The tour guide (Rob) was a bundle of fun. We all had a great morning! Filled the back of the Ute with lots of goodies to take home. Thanks for a wonderful experience both days 👌🏽

    This was such an incredible experience! We did the historic tour with Terry G. She was awesome! So energetic and her knowledge was amazing. We did some tastings upstairs and then bought from the shop. Every worker there was bubbly and we were treated so well. We had lunch in the Beer Garden and felt really welcomed. Amazing service. Amazing place. Very highly recommended!

    Firstly, I would like to thank your staff member, "Jess", for her pleasant, caring and humourous service. We were 6 adults and 2 one year old grandchildren. Initially, her focus was on the children, full tummies, happy parents ... ;-) She then assisted the adults in a timely manner, always with a smile ... I have worked in a retail environment for 29 years and the service level received was actually faultless ... big thumbs up Jess!!! Yes, I did mention to you that you did a great job, but the BOSS also needs to know ... ;-) Will be back again next time the " chillblains" and grandkids visit town ... :-)

    Aside from the stunning facade of this gorgeous old brewery, the food and of course drinks are spectacular and well worth the trip. I have to say though, the absolute best thing about Billsons is their amazing staff who are always fun, happy and consistently great service staff. They clearly love their job! Highly recommended!

    Second time visiting and was looking forward to getting a grazing board, only to be told that they were unable to do them as they didn't have someone on staff on a Saturday that could put one together. A little disappointed as I was after something easy to eat while having a couple of cocktails. Cocktails were amazing, food was ok. Location needs some sound proofing on the under floor, all we could hear was the clacking of the peoples shoes above us.
