About Us

Holgate Brewhouse is a family owned 100% independent craft-brewing company, cranking out classic beer styles on our microbrewing plant in Woodend - 45 minutes north of Melbourne CBD in the central highlands of Victoria.

A visit to Holgate Brewhouse at Keatings Hotel is the best way to get intimate with the 7 Holgate draught beers or even better stay the night upstairs in our fully refurbished stylish accommodation and enjoy a fabulous restaurant meal, beers and local wines.

The Beers

Our beers are all traditionally brewed, with no artificial colours, flavours, preservatives or process aids. We just use four ingredients - malt, hops, yeast and pure Macedon Ranges water. Our Real Ales are served from Beer Engines fully imported from England - these babies pump up the ale from the cellar in the time honoured tradition.

We have a 'Tasting Paddle' available for $10.00 where you get a 90ml sample of all the Holgate beers to try before deciding on your favourite! Or arrange a brewery tour in conjunction with an accommodation package.

Accommodation

This grand old hotel has been stylishly refurbished and developed to house 10 modern rooms, each with own ensuite and Queen size beds. Enjoy a bed and breakfast with fantastic view across the village of Woodend or onto Mt Macedon. Enquire about our dinner, bed and breakfast packages.

Bar & Lounge

Relax and kick-back in the friendly atmosphere of our groovy bar and lounge and enjoy the 7 Holgate draught beers, a superb local wine list, Byron Bay grown coffee, newspapers, great views across the village of Woodend and a friendly and warm atmosphere. Live most Friday and Saturday nights.

Resturant

Check out our restaurant and outdoor dining courtyard - featured in both the 2005 Age Good Food Guide and Cheap Eats - offering modern Australian menu including house-made pasta, breads, cakes and platters of local produce. Many of the dishes, including our Fish and Chips and Beef & Ale pie, are cooked using the Holgate beer - and the menu includes beer matches with the dishes.
