THE BARREL FARM
The Barrel Farm is a space dedicated to our love of old-world blending and brewing. A dream since our first visit to Cantillon Brewery in Brussels, 2012. We were absolutely blown away by everything we tasted, smelt, heard and saw in this magical Brewery and became instantly inspired to one day brew a similar range of beers.
The Barrel Farm specialises in bringing Barrel Aged, Sour and Farmhouse Ales to the Geelong region.
